Butler's in the buff as bad-boy Burns in sizzling new movie
By TOBY McDONALD
DARING Gerard Butler will bare all in a sensational film about Robert Burns.The film's director, Vadim Jean, admitted 40-year-old Butler is set to thrill fans because the film will explore our bard's raunchy reputation.
"Gerard and I are both totally committed to the film," said Jean.
"There's plenty of sex and nude scenes in it.
"He was a notorious rake of his time. We are not whitewashing Burns by any means.
"He was a complicated character and to do justice to his story is not a simple thing." Fellow Scots Brian Cox and John Hannah are lined up to appear, although a female lead has yet to be cast as Jean Armour, the poet's great love.
The pounds 5million movie will be shot on location in Ayrshire and Edinburgh.
Most of the budget, which includes investment from Scottish Screen, is already in place. The remainder will be raised by signing up 250 "subscribers".
Vadim Jean sprang to fame as the director of cult classic Leon the Pig Farmer and went on to work with Ewan McGregor in the 2006 film, Scenes of a Sexual Nature.
Butler's next film to be is The Bounty Hunter, where he stars opposite Aniston.
