Paul Gascoigne aka Gazza is an ex-England and Newcastle United footballer who is particularly well known in Britain. He's had a turbulent career it's fair to say, one which does mirror the life of a Hollywood celebrity. Now though he's set to join them in a horror film called Final Run.

He'll be acting alongside Lois Winstone, the daughter of the incredibly talented British actor Ray Winstone. The film is billed, as reported by the BBC, as...

...a cross between Black Hawk Down and Alien, the movie is set in the near future and follows the aftermath of an alien invasion of Earth.

Wow, presumably not with the same budgets though. Gascoigne will play a misguided survivor of the invasion who is struggling with his own future survival and that of humanity as a whole.

Interesting indeed. Come on Gazza, let's see if you can act!
