The 'Maze Runner' trilogy looks like ending on an upbeat note, judging by the No. 1 debut of 'Maze Runner: The Death Cure' in Australia last weekend, while local release 'Swinging Safari' misfired.
The idea behind 'Swinging Safari' had been bouncing around Stephan Elliott’s head for “about 40 years”. The upcoming comedy is an irreverent take on the era of the writer-director’s childhood: 1970s Australia.
Directed by Stephan Elliott (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert) and starring Guy Pearce, Kylie Minogue, Asher Keddie, Julian McMahon, Radha Mitchell and Jeremy Sims, SWINGING SAFARI will be released across Australia on 18 January 2018.
1970s Australia: A 200-ton blue whale washes up on a local beach and the kids think it's the biggest thing that's ever happened in their lives. Behind closed doors, the Mums and Dads of a quiet suburban cul-de-sac celebrate in their own special way, by joining the sexual revolution. It’s a time of boxed wine, bad hair, bad styles, bad choices, but good times. And like the rotting whale, it's all about to go spectacularly wrong.
