Heath Ledger is in negotiations to star in Our Sunshine, based on Robert Drew's 1991 book about the infamous Australian bush ranger Ned Kelly. Working Title is attached to the project, which is being produced by LA-based Australian Nelson Woss.

Other projects on Kelly that are in the pipeline include an adaptation of Peter Carey's 2000 novel True History Of The Kelly Gang, which has Irish director Neil Jordan attached. A Southern Star production of Fanatic Heart was financed several years ago by the Film Finance Corporation and others but failed to go into production.
