Actor Eric Bana appears before enthusiastic crowds at the Theater Royal in Castlemaine, Australia on Sunday, May 27, 2007.

Romulus, My Father is based on a book memoir of the same name by Raimond Gaita that chronicles the real story of his relationship with his father Romulus Gaita.

This film currently only has an Australian-only release date of May 31, 2007, so if you’re in the land down under, do check it out!

The Hulk star Eric Bana got into a car crash but thankfully he’s a-okay!

Australian actor Eric Bana and his co-driver were uninjured today after they crashed their car during an around-the-state rally in Tasmania.

Bana, who is competing in the Targa Tasmania rally with co-driver Tony Ramunno, crashed his 1974 Ford XB Coupe into a bank, but both walked away from the crash, officials said.

“Bana and co-driver Tony Ramunno have put out their OK boards, indicating that neither of them required medical attention,” a statement said. “Bana was in 53rd place, from a field of 115 cars in the Outright Classic competition, before the crash.”

Bana and Ramunno hope to repair the car so they can compete in the final day of the rally tomorrow.

Hunk du Jour Eric Bana is featured as in the April 2007 issue of Elle Magazine as this month’s “Elle Man.” The heartthrob from down under speaks out:

• On his trademark gaze: “I have a problem where when I think I’m looking friendly, I look like I want to kill someone.”
• On his acting technique: “If my character has to feel something, I pretty much want to feel it. I want to feel like I’m killing someone. I want to feel the guilt someone feels after he’s stabbed someone or shot someone. I want to feel the fear of pointing a gun at someone. Because it’s just bloody interesting. Otherwise it just feels fake.”
• On being an introvert: “I’d rather talk about anyone at a party but me, unless I’m with close friends and I’ve had a drink. You get sick of yourself. Anyone can jump onstage and do something; I want to watch.”
• On ‘Banatics,’ his female fans: “I don’t know what ages they are; it’s probably better if I didn’t.”
• On taking risks: “Risk-taking to me is not risk-taking. What scares me most is sitting around not doing anything, not taking chances.”

His romantic comedy Lucky You co-starring Drew Barrymore opens nationwide May 4. Read the full Eric Bana article from Elle Magazine April 2007 below!
