    VICE Studios and Screen Australia present In association with Film Victoria and Create NSW A Blue-Tongue Films and Pariah Production Written and Directed by Mirrah Foulkes Starring Mia Wasikowska and Damon Herriman Produced by Michele Bennett, Nash Edgerton and Danny Gabai Run Time: 105 Minutes Press Contact Samuel Goldwyn Films [email protected] SYNOPSES Short Synopsis In the anarchic town of Seaside, nowhere near the sea, puppeteers Judy and Punch are trying to resurrect their marionette show. The show is a hit due to Judy's superior puppeteering, but Punch's driving ambition and penchant for whisky lead to an inevitable tragedy that Judy must avenge. Long Synopsis In the anarchic town of Seaside, nowhere near the sea, puppeteers Judy and Punch are trying to resurrect their marionette show. The show is a hit due to Judy's superior puppeteering, but Punch's driving ambition and penchant for whisky lead to an inevitable tragedy that Judy must avenge. In a visceral and dynamic live-action reinterpretation of the famous 16th century puppet show, writer director MIRRAH FOULKES turns the traditional story of Punch and Judy on its head and brings to life a fierce, darkly comic and epic female-driven revenge story, starring MIA WASIKOWSKA and DAMON HERRIMAN. 2 DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT JUDY AND PUNCH is a dark, absurd fable treading a line between fairy-tale, fantasy and gritty realism, all of which work together to establish a unique tone while upsetting viewer expectations. When Vice Studios’ Eddy Moretti and Danny Gabai approached me with the idea of making a live action, feminist revenge film about Punch and Judy, they encouraged me to let my imagination go wild and take the story wherever I felt it needed to go.

SHORT SYNOPSIS In 100 BLOODY ACRES, brothers Reg and Lindsay Morgan are struggling to keep their organic blood and bone fertilizer business in motion. Their secret “recipe” for success (using dead car crash victims in their product) was a huge boon to business, but lately supply has been gravely low. Months have passed since their last find, and an important new customer is now waiting on a delivery. When junior partner Reg (Damon Herriman of Justified) stumbles upon 3 travelers stranded on a remote country road, he cooks up a radical solution to their problem, and a way of finally gaining the respect of his bossy big brother (Angus Sampson). But when Reg starts to fall for Sophie, one of the intended victims, things get complicated… A bloody good time, the Cairnes’ brothers witty horror-comedy blends sly Australian humor, gory fun, and a clever storyline that gives “recycling” a whole new context. They're not psycho killers…they're just small business operators. LONG SYNOPSIS The recent introduction of human cadavers to the Morgan Brothers’ blood and bone fertilizer blend has been a huge boon to business.

But when her mother, Beth (Portia de Rossi), is unexpectedly sent to rehab, Honey’s visit turns out not to be so quick after all. Honey’s aunt Caroline (Robyn Butler) insists Honey stays with their family until her mother gets better. Ignoring husband Richard’s (Erik Thomson) protests and the fact that Honey’s a movie star, Caroline happily welcomes her niece into her suburban home. Relations between Beth and their other sister, Katie (Lucy Durack), have been strained and Caroline is sure Honey’s visit will bring the family back together in time for Katie’s wedding. Katie’s fiancee, Alex (Hamish Blake) agrees – mainly because he thinks Honey is super cute. Life quickly disintegrates into chaos as Honey adjusts to life without a stylist, chef and an assistant, and her cousins Clare (Philippa Coulthard) and Harriet (Lucinda Armstrong Hall) adjust to having a movie star hogging the bathroom.

On an isolated stretch of land 50 miles outside of San Francisco sits the most haunted house in the world. Built by Sarah Winchester (Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren), heiress to the Winchester fortune, it is a house that knows no end. Constructed in an incessant twenty-four hour a day, seven day a week mania for decades, it stands seven stories tall and contains hundreds of rooms. To the outsider it looks like a monstrous monument to a disturbed woman’s madness. But Sarah is not building for herself, for her niece (Sarah Snook) or for the troubled Doctor Eric Price (Jason Clarke) whom she has summoned to the house. She is building a prison, an asylum for hundreds of vengeful ghosts, and the most terrifying among them have a score to settle with the Winchesters... CBS Films presents WINCHESTER in association with Eclipse Pictures, a Screen Australia presentation in association with Screen Queensland and Film Victoria of a production by Blacklab Entertainment and Imagination Design Works, of a film directed by The Spierig Brothers (Jigsaw, Predestination) starring Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren (Eye In The Sky, The Queen), Jason Clarke (Mudbound, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) and Sarah Snook (Steve Jobs, Predestination).
