Writer/director Luke Sparke’s upcoming monster movie Red Billabong has received a lot of love from Dread Central over the past few months, but we’ve yet to see any solid footage from the flick. Thankfully, the good folks over at Movieweb have gotten their hands on the first trailer for the creature feature, and I’ve gotta say it looks pretty slick.
Sparke seems pretty jazzed about the fact that he’s delivering a full-blown CGI monster in Red Billabong, which is possibly a first for Australian cinema. To be perfectly honestly, his excitement is kind of contagious.
“I can’t recall a fully realized computer generated character as a ‘lead’ in an Australian film before. I don’t think it’s been attempted. Our VFX team will be working furiously all the way up to the cinema release. We also used so many practical effects, daring stunts and huge sets. There’s so much in the film that isn’t in the new trailer – still so much to reveal when you’re watching it!” the filmmaker said of the monster in a recent statement to Movieweb.
If you’re just discovering this movie, then you’ll need a synopsis. Here ya go:
In the Australian Outback, two brothers discover old secrets and family lies. As their friends start to go missing they fear they are being stalked by someone or something from their worst nightmares – But is it just – A story? A legend? A hoax? Or is it real?
Red Billabong, which stars Daniel Ewing, Sophie Don, Jessica Green, Ben Chisholm, John Reynolds, Emily Joy, James Straiton, Felix Williamson, and Gregory J. Fryer, opens in Australia this summer. Unfortunately, we don’t have Stateside or international release dates as of this writing. While we’re waiting, check out the trailer below.
