Neon has taken the North American rights to Kitty Green's 'The Royal Hotel', due to star Julia Garner, Jessica Henwick and Hugo Weaving.
Director Kitty Green re-teams with her 'The Assistant' star Julia Garner for thriller 'The Royal Hotel', following two best friends backpacking through the Australian outback. Joining Garner in the See-Saw Films feature are 'Knives Out 2' star Jessica Henwick and Hugo Weaving.
As expected, Cate Blanchett secured her fourth Golden Globe for her performance as the titular character in Todd Field’s 'Tár' on Wednesday.
Inspired by the 2017 observational documentary 'Hotel Coolgardie' by filmmaker Pete Gleeson, Kitty Green's 'The Royal Hotel' stars Julia Garner and Jessica Henwick as Hanna and Liv, two best friends backpacking around Australia.
When Kitty Green first watched Peter Gleeson's 2017 documentary 'Hotel Coolgardie', she was immediately intrigued by the subject matter, leading her to write her second narrative feature, 'The Royal Hotel'.
Kitty Green's 'The Royal Hotel' will open two film festivals in the space of a week after being announced as the opening film of this year's Adelaide Film Festival (AFF).
Murray Bartlett has added his name to Australia's list of Emmy winners, taking home the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie for his role as highly strung hotel manager Armond on HBO's ‘The White Lotus’.
Critics have hailed Kitty Green's 'The Royal Hotel' as an "even deeper" and "pulpier and more explosive" look at toxic masculinity than her 2019 #MeToo thriller 'The Assistant', with many drawing comparisons between the film and Ted Kotcheff's 1971 classic 'Wake in Fright'.
