A Dark New World : Anatomy of Australian Horror Films
A dark new world: Anatomy of Australian horror films Mark David Ryan Faculty of Creative Industries, Queensland University of Technology A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the degree Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), December 2008 The Films (from top left to right): Undead (2003); Cut (2000); Wolf Creek (2005); Rogue (2007); Storm Warning (2006); Black Water (2007); Demons Among Us (2006); Gabriel (2007); Feed (2005). ii KEY WORDS Australian horror films; horror films; horror genre; movie genres; globalisation of film production; internationalisation; Australian film industry; independent film; fan culture iii ABSTRACT After experimental beginnings in the 1970s, a commercial push in the 1980s, and an underground existence in the 1990s, from 2000 to 2007 contemporary Australian horror production has experienced a period of strong growth and relative commercial success unequalled throughout the past three decades of Australian film history. This study explores the rise of contemporary Australian horror production: emerging production and distribution models; the films produced; and the industrial, market and technological forces driving production. Australian horror production is a vibrant production sector comprising mainstream and underground spheres of production. Mainstream horror production is an independent, internationally oriented production sector on the margins of the Australian film industry producing titles such as Wolf Creek (2005) and Rogue (2007), while underground production is a fan-based, indie filmmaking subculture, producing credit-card films such as I know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer (2006) and The Killbillies (2002). Overlap between these spheres of production, results in ‘high-end indie’ films such as Undead (2003) and Gabriel (2007) emerging from the underground but crossing over into the mainstream. -

DANGER CLOSE: The Battle of Long Tan PRODUCTION NOTES PUBLICITY REQUESTS: Amy Burgess / National Publicity Manager, Transmission Films 02 8333 9000, [email protected] Images: High res images and poster available to download via the DOWNLOAD MEDIA tab at: https://www.transmissionfilms.com.au/films/danger-close Running Time: 118 mins Distributed in Australia by Transmission Films DANGER CLOSE: The Battle of Long Tan – Production Notes SHORT SYNOPSIS South Vietnam, late afternoon on August 18, 1966 - for three and a half hours, in the pouring rain, amid the mud and shattered trees of a rubber plantation called Long Tan, a dispersed company of 108 young and mostly inexperienced Australian and New Zealand soldiers are fighting for their lives, holding off an overwhelming enemy force of 2,500 battle hardened North Vietnamese soldiers. SYNOPSIS Based on a true story: DANGER CLOSE begins with Major Harry Smith [Travis Fimmel], the strict and highly motivated commander of Delta Company, 6th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, on operation in Nui Dat, Phuoc Tuy Province, Vietnam. Delta Company is made up four platoons; 10, 11 and 12 platoons and a Company HQ, a total of 108 men. Harry is a career officer and he has no time to ‘coddle’ or befriend the men in his company. He feels that ‘babysitting’ these young men - half of which are conscripts - is beneath his special forces skills and previous combat experience. But with a point to prove, Harry is keen to show what his men, and importantly, he can do to make the best of a harrowing situation. -
Seven Stars Appear in Gripping New Drama - Seven Types of Ambiguity
RELEASED: Monday 25 April 2016 Seven stars appear in gripping new drama - Seven Types of Ambiguity ABC TV is pleased to announce that filming is underway in Melbourne on the six-part drama series Seven Types of Ambiguity, based on the critically acclaimed novel by Elliot Perlman. Starring some of Australia’s finest actors including; Hugo Weaving, Xavier Samuel, Alex Dimitriades, Leeanna Walsman, Anthony Hayes, Andrea Demetriades and Susie Porter, Seven Types of Ambiguity is a psychological mystery that explores the complicated emotional terrain of relationships and the risks people will go to in the name of love. When seven-year-old Sam Marin is taken from school, his parents Anna (Leeanna Walsman) and Joe (Alex Dimitriades) are frantic. Hours later Sam’s found unharmed and after an initial investigation, the police arrest Simon Heywood (Xavier Samuel). But this is far from an open and shut case when it’s revealed that Simon is Anna’s ex-boyfriend and his suspected accomplice Angela (Andrea Demetriades), has a salacious connection to Joe. Before long, Simon’s psychiatrist and ally Dr Alex Klima (Hugo Weaving), barrister Gina Serkin (Susie Porter), and even Joe’s best mate Mitch (Anthony Hayes) are pulled into the mystery of uncovering just why Simon really took Sam. ABC TV Acting Head of Fiction, Alastair McKinnon says, “We are delighted to have so many of this country’s finest acting talents joining forces to bring Elliot Perlman’s dazzling novel to Australian audiences.” Managing Director of Matchbox Pictures, Chris Oliver-Taylor says “Matchbox Pictures is thrilled to be working alongside the ABC in adapting Elliot Perlman's rich and complex novel. -
Jock Ross, Recruiting Men to His Club with the Purpose of Being the One Dominant Motorcycle Gang in Sydney and Eventually Australia
A SCREENTIME production for Network Ten MEDIA KIT MEDIA CONTACTS Catherine Lavelle Kirsty Wilson FOR SCREENTIME NETWORK TEN PUBLICITY T 02 9405 2880 T 02 9650 1102 M 0413 88 55 95 M 0434 070 223 E [email protected] E [email protected] As at 20.3.12 Milperra a name that will be remembered in infamy. On September 2nd, Fathers Day 1984, two motorcycle clubs – the Bandidos and the Comancheros – went to war at a public swap meet. After a brief but violent battle, seven people had been shot dead, including a young innocent bystander, and some forty other club members needed hospitalisation. Brothers in Arms is the story of how that day came to pass. In the 1970s, the outlaw bikie scene was in its fledgling days. More wild west than organized crime, the Comancheros vied with many other motorcycle gangs for territory. As the tribes fought, the Comancheros were also fighting their own internal battle, with the Supreme Commander, Jock Ross, recruiting men to his club with the purpose of being the one dominant motorcycle gang in Sydney and eventually Australia. Not everyone agreed with his tactics. When the men challenged him, Jock split the club in what was a betrayal of his most loyal acolyte, Anthony “Snoddy” Spencer. With this act, Jock Ross misjudged the feelings of his men. Instead of staying with him, the majority mutinied, sticking with Snoddy who formed the Bandidos. And the seeds for Milperra were sown. With powerful forces within each of the rival clubs demanding retribution, a series of tit-for-tat attacks led to war being declared. -
