Madman's Nick Batzias and writer-director Matthew Saville have been keen to work together again since Madman released Saville's 2003 telemovie Roy Hollsdotter Live and his 2007 crime thriller Noise.

Musician, comedian, writer and actor Tim Minchin will lead the cast of Lingo Pictures’ eight-part series 'Upright', a co-commission between Foxtel and Sky UK which will shoot in SA and WA in October.

Dark Victory will see Saville continuing his working relationship with Felony producer Rosemary Blight, of Goalpost Pictures, who described the film to Variety as "The Insider on the high seas".
