The film has not yet been completed in post-production, let alone hit our cinema screens, but one of the actors involved, Jack Thompson, has so much faith in the project that he’s declared it one of Australia’s best films ever.
Though the film remains tightly underwraps, and we’re yet to see so much as a trailer, the cast and crew have been privy to a special 12 minute preview. From this sneak peak, it’s clear to have had a profound affect on Jack,
“They are breathtaking. I cried, I laughed,” Thompson said.
“I was knocked out by it. I am so proud of it and I know we’re involved in a major Australian film, one of the great Australian films.”
“You can never tell until a film is released what people may or may not like about it, but it is no doubt that it is one of the most significant Australian films ever made.”
“Just the very scope of it, the heart of it.”
Thompson was in Brisbane on Wednesday for the launch of the 2008 Asia Pacific Screen Awards, to be held on the Gold Coast in November, where he was named patron.
