Phillip Noyce's Rabbit- Proof Fence may seem to have nothing in common with his latest film, The Giver, a dystopian sci-fi drama which stars Jeff Bridges, Meryl Steep, Brenton Thwaites, Katie Holmes and Taylor Swift.
In a seemingly perfect community, without war, pain, suffering, differences or choice, a young boy is chosen to learn from an elderly man about the true pain and pleasure of the "real" world.
After a print of The Expendables 3 was stolen in late July and leaked on-line, the title was downloaded about five million times before the film opened in the US, Australia and more than 30 other markets last week.
Phillip Noyce's The Giver is based on a young adult novel that sold more than 10 million copies worldwide, packed with a cast headed by Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges, rising Australian star Brenton Thwaites, Katie Holmes and Taylor Swift.
