The Federal Government has splashed $21.58 million to lure two Netflix titles to Australia: feature film 'Escape From Spiderhead', due to shoot on the Gold Coast, and eight-part series 'Pieces of Her', bound for Sydney.
The launches last weekend of Gregor Jordan's 'Dirt Music' and Alister Grierson's 'Bloody Hell' underlined the challenges facing independent films in a theatrical market that is severely weakened by the Victorian shutdown, limits on seating capacity and the absence of Hollywood tentpoles.
David Wenham, Aaron Pedersen, Chris Haywood and singer-songwriter Julia Stone have joined Garrett Hedlund and Kelly Macdonald in 'Dirt Music', Gregor Jordan’s adaptation of the Tim Winton novel.
When David Wenham was offered the role of the police sergeant Jock Crawford in the miniseries 'Wake in Fright' he initially recoiled at the idea.
Directors and cast talk about Tim Winton's work. Includes interviews with Hugo Weaving, Ian Meadows, Tony Ayres, Shaun Gladwell.
Directors involved in Tim Winton's The Turning talk about turning points in their own lives. With David Wenham, Cate Blanchett & Andrew Upton, Mia Wasikowska.
The series, starring David Wenham, will screen in Australia later this year
When Geoffrey Wright and Dan Edwards started talking about Wright’s seminal 1992 movie 'Romper Stomper', they wondered what might have happened to some of the survivors and their descendants 25 years later.
