Kath and Kim movie announced
Screen Australia has invested $9 in 15 projects, including a film adaptation of the TV comedy hit Kath and Kim, entitled The Kath and Kim Filum – produced by Rick McKenna, Jane Turner and Gina Riley, and directed by Ted Emery.
In the film, Kath and Kim will head overseas “on a whirlwind tour of love, lust and revolution”.
The investment round supports a production slate worth almost $29m. It also includes the feature The Last Great Apes, The 20-Something Survival Guide, and a theatrical doco for IMAX, as well as 10 documentaries.
The projects are:
They’re being generous investing $9.
Nobody’s realised it’s past its use by date?
I hope someof these new features actually reature some new actors.
It seems that in every film done in this country – low budget and lower budget – the same half dozen or so faces keep on popping up.
I really have no interest in seeing Colosimo, Mendelsohn, McCune, Phelps, Dimitriades, Brown, Sweet, Le-Marquand, Taylor, Lasance, ect, ect ,ect, ad nauseum.
Could that be why most local films with the usual tired casting keep ending up as flops?
Yet, local films with international casting seem to do well.
Has NIDA, WAAPA, Screenwise, VCA and all the rest stopped churning out actors?
New faces and voices please!
