Nick Cave tries to raise the dead

Nick Cave apparently wrote a sequel to the Gladiator movie in which Russell Crowe's character was brought back from the dead, it's claimed. His plotline reads a bit scifi-maximus to me but Hollywood has foisted stranger things onto the public. Anyone see Baz Lurhman's "Australia"?

Thankfully I haven't seen "our Nicole" in "Straya" yet Barman. Has "our Keith" penned a few tunes yet that can breathe life into a highly unlikely sequel for "our Baz"?

btw - How is big Nick going with the Matty Johns soundtrack? If he can bring Johns back from the dead then Russ should be a snack!

I've avoided that Lurhman thing too. It sounds deader than Saint Nick's screenplay and riskier than Swine Flu.

I'm not ruling out the possibility of Reg Reagan returning in a variation on The Terminator in which he smokes a legion of reporters and lays waste to New Zealand.

Sounds good!

Haven't things changed since big Kerry passed away.

Imagine Channel Nine reporting any of this in his day - let alone Tracy Grimshaw putting herself in the frame for a Walkley!

What did happen to Swine 'flu and the GFC anyway......
