Marlon Williams To Feature In New Ned Kelly Film Starring Russell Crowe

New Zealand singer-songwriter Marlon Williams is quickly establishing himself an impressive IMDB profile.

After appearing in A Star Is Born last year alongside Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, the Christchurch crooner is now slated to star as George King in the upcoming film True History Of The Kelly Gang, “a fictionalised re-telling of the life and crimes of infamous 19th-century Australian outlaw Ned Kelly”.

The new film, which will premiere at Toronto International Film Festival next month, is based on the award-winning novel by Peter Carey and will star George MacKay as Ned Kelly as well as acting legend Russell Crowe, Sons Of Anarchy’s Charlie Hunnam, Nicholas Hoult (Skins, X-Men), Australian actor Essie Davis (Game Of Thrones, The Babadook, Assassin's Creed) and more.

True History Of The Kelly Gang was directed by Australian filmmaker Justin Kurzel, who has directed Blue Tongue, Snowtown, Macbeth, Assassin's Creed and more.

Williams is also slated to feature in Aussie VR feature film Lone Wolf next year, which stars Hugo Weaving.
