Title: Nowhere Boys — This fantasy action-adventure series follows four teenage boys who get lost in the forest and Nowhere Boys, when they return home, that they are in an alternate world identical to theirs except for one startling difference - they Nowhere Boys never born. Written by Anonymous. The show is nicely done. Actors are well cast. I don't think I could pick just one, all four of them really fit the roles. Dialog is age appropriate and, although there are some stereotypes, they had been written well and in funny manner. I really enjoy each and every episode of the show, and the fact that there is real dose of unpredictability. There is magic. There is science. Unlike other shows of similar type, which base either on one or another, "Nowhere Boys" really allow themselves large spectrum of possibilities, which they use in such manner that things don't get boring. And Nowhere Boys when Nowhere Boys think you got it - something new emerges. Looking for something to watch? Choose an adventure below and discover your next favorite movie or TV show.

This is about Nowhere Boys Lennon's teenage time, when Nowhere Boys lived with his aunt Mimi. He has problems at school, encounters teddy boys, starts The Quarrymen and meets Paul and George. The story is a rhapsody, including Lennon's attempts to recontact his half-crazy mother. The heat is really on here and then, Lennon and The Beatles go to Hamburg. Entertaining certainly, but most credits go to Kristin Scott Thomas, which was to be expected. Kudos to the Liverpool accent, one of many thing Lennon taught us to love.

  • Nowhere Boys the Movie
    Monday July 6, 2015 Nowhere Boys the movie The producers of the multi-award winning children's drama series, Nowhere Boys, have started production this month on a special 80-minute feature- length movie titled Nowhere Boys: The Book of Shadows. The exceptional television series began when four mismatched teenage boys, Felix (Dougie Baldwin), Andy (Joel Lok), Sam (Rahart Adams) and Jake (Matt Testro), arrive back from a school trip to discover they have returned to an alternative world where they don't exist. Produced by Matchbox Pictures, directed by David Caesar (Dirty Deeds, Idiot Box, Mullet) and written by Tony Ayres, Rhys Graham and Craig Irvin, the movie picks up a year after the boys crossed dimensions, discovered magic and battled the restoring demon. They are back home in Bremin and are struggling with everyday teenage life. Felix has high hopes for the four heroes. He wants them to push the limits of their magical ability, working as a team to become masters of the arcane. But although he's unwilling to admit it, the boys have grown apart. The boys, once in perfect magical and elemental alignment, are a tangle of rivalry and distrust. On the verge of separating, the Nowhere Boys are drawn together for one last spell when Felix discovers a magically sealed 'Book of Shadows'. Unwittingly this releases a powerful force of chaos, and the gang is reluctantly drawn into a showdown that threatens their world and all they love… Having just cracked Hollywood and starring alongside Ryan Gosling in The Nice Guys, Angourie Rice (These Final Hours) joins the cast.

  • Nowhere Boys’ Existence in This New World
    PREMISE Four mismatched teenage boys – Andy, Felix, Jake and Sam – go on a school excursion trekking through dense forest. They get lost and find themselves caught in an unexpected and violent lightning storm. Surviving the night and expecting a heroic reception upon their return home, the boys find that something strange and terrible has happened. They have returned, present day, to a world where they no longer exist. It’s not that they are ghosts – people can see, hear, and touch our four young heroes. But none of their parents, siblings or friends know who they are. All public records of them – birth certificates, passports, even library cards – have vanished. And, worst of all, the world has reconfigured itself as though they were never born. The series follows the four boys in their quest to find out what happened to them. CAST FELIX Dougie Baldwin The Real World Felix is intelligent, sarcastic, and an eternal cynic. Very much a loner, with few social skills, he has only one friend – Ellen, a fellow Goth. Felix has a brother Oscar, who had an accident climbing a tree a few years back, and is now in a wheelchair. Although he and Oscar are close, Felix feels responsible for Oscar and through his obsession with witchcraft, he hopes one day to use magic beyond science to help is brother. New Reality While the spell, and subsequently the new reality, was created by Felix, he wasn’t aware there would be consequences. The spell was solely designed to fix Oscar, which it did, but he did not expect it to erase their existences.
