Eric Bana is joined by wife Rebecca Glesson at the Melbourne premiere of small-time Aussie flick Romulus, My Father at the Rivoli, Camberwell on Monday in Australia.

Said Bana at the film’s Castlemaine premiere of being able to relate to the story as he was also the son of immigrants: “Obviously wherever possible when you read a script you are hoping to form a bond with it, and something about that story makes you feel a bond with it as an actor. When I read this it was like a baseball bat over the head. It had a very strong presence with myself, not only as a Victorian but also as a son as a migrant. Not only are we representing the people who were real, we are representing someone’s story who is very much with us and was very much engaged with the production.”

Romulus, My Father opens in theaters in Australia on Thursday, May 31.

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!

Aussie actor Eric Bana shoots a promo in Santa Monica on Friday looking like his usual hot self.

Looking less than hot is his poker flick Lucky You co-starring Drew Barrymore, which tanked at the box office this weekend, opening in sixth place and barely making more than $900K on Friday.

It’s barely going to make $2 million dollars in its opening weekend!

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.

Here are new stills for poker flick Lucky You starring Eric Bana, Drew Barrymore, Debra Messing, and Jean Smart (24).

Billie Offer (Drew Barrymore) is a young singer from Bakersfield with more heart than talent. Huck Cheever (Eric Bana) is a poker player whose emotions at the table often undermine his exceptional skill, especially when he is heads up with his father, poker legend L.C. Cheever (Robert Duvall). The one aptitude Billie and Huck seem to share is a knack for reading people—the difference is what they do with that gift. While Huck’s instincts enable him to take advantage of his opponents at the poker table and expertly avoid both emotional connections and long-term commitments in his personal life, Billie uses her intuition to see the emotional truth of those around her and sympathize with their pain. When these two meet, the real game begins. If Huck is going to win Billie’s heart, he must learn to play cards the way he has been living life and live his life the way he has been playing cards.
