According to movie fan site Chud.com Crowe is working with a writer from New Zealand on a biopic (that's BYE-oh-pic, not bye-AH-pic, as we've heard some morons say) on the life of Bill Hicks.

The folks at Chud thank Flicks News for pointing it out in the first place.

It all comes from an off-hand comment that Crowe made to the Sydney Morning Herald. (Of course, no comment made by a box office star to a major international publication is ever off-hand!)

Crowe is spending time in his home in Woolloomooloo, the town that always looks misspelled!
