Eric Bana's Blackbird out in 2012

19 Apr 2011

Blackbird is a film we acquired as a script. We are happy to announce that the completion of this incredible action thriller is nearing the end. Directed by Austrian Stefan Ruzowitzky (Academy Award winner for The Counterfeiters) it stars Eric Bana (Hannah, Chopper) and Olivia Wilde (Tron:The Legacy) as a brother and sister duo fleeing after a casino heist. They eventually meet a young boxer played by Charlie Hunnam (Children of Men) who just came out of prison. Hollywood legends Sissy Spacek (Carrie, In the Bedroom) and Kris Kristofferson (Blade, Planet of the Apes) play Hunnam's parents.

The French powerhouse StudioCanal has acquired European rights to the film and if their past offerings are anything to go by, Blackbird is going to be intense cinema. We cannot wait to bring it to Australia sometime in 2012. This is going to be some powerhouse viewing!
