Top Canadian media fell for the online prank that had the "Mystic River" director behind a movie about the late cowboy troubador.
No, Clint Eastwood will not be directing an Australian actor as the late Canadian cowboy troubador Stompin' Tom Connors in the reported biopic The Ballad of Stompin' Tom.
But the project did make a good April Fool’s prank that ensnared top Canadian newspapers this week like the Vancouver Sun and the Global and Mail and Huffington Post Canada.
News of the Eastwood-directed biopic first surfaced on the Broadway World website on April 1, and indicated Aussie actor Bryan Brown would star as Connors, and Shania Twain as his wife.
