Dan Carter announces next big off-field move

Former All Blacks first-five Dan Carter has announced his next big move off the rugby field - a movie.

The 36-year-old first-five, who still plies his trade for Kobe Steelers in the Japanese Top League, announced on social media on Tuesday that he will be releasing a feature film in August.

"Excited to share with you guys about a project I've been working on over the past 12 months," Carter posted on Facebook and Instagram.

"A film will be coming out which gives a deep insight into my personal life, my career and particularly my challenging road to the 2015 Rugby World Cup. It will be in cinemas in New Zealand on August 29 and I'll be sure to share the details for my international friends soon! Official title and trailer to come."
