The Combination opened in cinemas In February 2009 and was immediately hailed by critics and audiences alike as a provocative and ground-breaking Australian production.

“We’re very happy to finally announce the release date for The Combination Redemption following the completion of production in Sydney’s western suburbs,” said Field. “The new film builds dramatically on the themes of the original film, and expands the story in bold and exciting directions. With a brilliant cast and crew, we’re proud to bring the new Combination movie to a broad audience.”

“It has been a great journey returning to the world of The Combination after several years – the first movie really set a high bar for us in terms of the strong audience response,” said Basha. “This sequel really takes John Morkos on a new path as he confronts new challenges and tries to find the right way forward, and the cast we’ve assembled for the sequel brings a whole new level to The Combination story.”

“The first film was ground-breaking in its realistic portrayal and authenticity, amongst the wide-ranging communities represented in the film,” said co-producer John Tedesco. “It was a new kind of Australia production, and the sequel not only continues to embrace this audience, it takes the story in a broad and bold new direction.”
