CINEMA AUSTRALIA SAY For a film as highly anticipated as David Michod’s follow-up to Animal Kingdom there’s bugger all publicity happening for it. With six months until it’s release we’re anticipating a poster or trailer soon… a website even. It’s not like there’s any secrecy surrounding the release of the film.
Negativity aside though, we can’t wait for this film. It’s got an exciting story by Joel Edgerton and Michod a great cast and an incredibly talented crew behind it including Liz Watts on Producer duties.

THE ROVER MOVIE FAN SITE SAY The Australian desert in a dangerous and damaged near future. Eric has left everything, everyone and every semblance of human kindness behind him. And then he has his last possession stolen by a gang of dangerous criminals. Eric sets off on a ruthless mission to track them down, forced along the way to enlist the help of Rey, the naïve and injured junior member of the gang, who was left behind in the bloody chaos of the gang’s most recent robbery.
