The long journey to adapt Australian author Melina Marchetta’s 2006 young adult novel 'On the Jellicoe Road' into a TV series looks like paying off.
Brendan Cowell, Pallavi Sharda, Ngali Shaw, Catherine Van-Davies, Bishanyia Vincent and Damien Strouthos will star as jurors in Foxtel's courtroom drama 'The Twelve'.
'The Secret She Keeps' and 'Wentworth' scribe Sarah Walker is set to write and executive produce crime thriller series The Last House Guest for Elle and Dakota Fanning's newly-formed production company, Lewellen Pictures.
Nearly 30 projects will share in $975,000 of story development funding from Screen Australia, including a television series inspired by the 1999 film 'Two Hands' from director Gregor Jordan, and a family feature film from the producers of 'Bluey'.
Australian comedy/drama feature 'A Cup of Tea' is one of three prize winners from this year's Attagirl global film incubator, receiving $5,000 for development.
