Jed Kurzel is again up for Feature Film Score of the Year at this year's Screen Music Awards, nominated for his work on Dev Patel’s action thriller 'Monkey Man'.
The floodgates opened last weekend with more than a dozen new releases led by 'The Personal History of David Copperfield', plus several re-issues as more cinemas resumed trading.
Anthony Maras finally has settled on his follow-up to 'Hotel Mumbai': A 1970s true-crime saga about the spectacular rise and fall of Atlanta porn king Mike Thevis.
Anthony Maras’ 'Hotel Mumbai' is performing well across the US.
The timing could not have been worse: 'Hotel Mumbai' opening in Australian cinemas the day before the horrific slaughter of innocents at two mosques in Christchurch.
Anthony Maras has sat in on numerous screenings of his debut film 'Hotel Mumbai', including test screenings in Los Angeles, the world premiere in Toronto and the Adelaide Film Festival, and the audience responses have been uniform.
Screen Australia has announced $4 million worth of production investment for one film, two television series and three online projects. They include a film adaptation of book 'Penguin Bloom', starring Naomi Watts and produced by Bruna Papandrea's Made Up Stories; a second season of ABC series 'Mystery Road'; Nine's 'Seachange' reboot; and 'Roborovski', a VR project from Tilda Cobham-Hervey and Dev Patel.
The distributors in the US and major international territories who bought Anthony Maras’ 'Hotel Mumbai' look set to cash in on largely positive reviews after the world premiere at TIFF.
