Crowe Denies WESTWORLD Involvement.


SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - JULY 27: Australian actor Russell Crowe talks during a press conference to announce he will join the cast of 'Ben Hur' as the narrator at the Blue Hotel on July 27, 2010 in Sydney, Australia.

'Robin Hood' star Russell Crowe has taken to his Twitter.com page to deny he's set to star in a remake of Michael Crichton's sci-fi thriller remake 'WESTWORLD'.


Crowe reportedly signed up to a new version of the 1973 film, which was author Crichton's first outing as a big screen director and originally starred Yul Brynner as a gunslinging android at a fantasy theme park.

But he has shot down the rumours, insisting there is no truth to them.

He tweets:

"WestWorld purely a rumour, I've never been contacted about it."


And Crowe also sets the record straight about claims he's taking over from late fellow Aussie Heath Ledger in 'Dirt Music' -  an adaptation of Tim Winton's award-winning book. He states the project is a long way from completion.

He adds:

"Dirt Music is still off in the never, never somewhere."
