Bana tipped for Beaconsfield Mine movie

Eric Bana is tipped to be heading home to star in a new movie about Tasmania’s Beaconsfield Mine Rescue.

In April of 2006, Beaconsfield’s mine’s collapsed leaving two men trapped inside. Miners Brant Webb and Todd Russell were found alive after five days, using a remote controlled device, but it would be a full two weeks before the two would be rescued.

According to News.Com.Au, Bana, currently giving Angry Anderson a run for his money as the bald and brawy Nero in “Star Trek”, is said to be interested in playing Webb.

In 2002, Bana starred in a comedy about mining. In “The Nugget”, he played one of three best friends living in rural Australia who decide to finally put an end to their financial woes by taking up the potentially lucrative hobby of metal detecting. Soon after, they find a gold nugget.
