Just a short Trespass Trailer Teaser this week. Considering this blog started with me criticising Australian cinema - or, more accurately, the local media treating such films as charity cases and thus appealing to audiences to 'support the industry' - my write up for Last Ride could be seen as a 180. Oh, and I've wrote about Samson & Delilah as well... I'm a turncoat!
Not that I'd refer to myself as 'media', but you see what I'm saying.
Why then, do I sing the praises of Australian films (and films I've not yet seen no less!)? Perhaps I'm going soft in my old age. Perhaps seeing Margaret Pomeranz at screenings has turned my head.
Let's hope not. As I discussed with Samson & Delilah, there's a difference between appealing to audiences and generating genuine interest. Please let me know if I stray into the former because I'm definitely gearing for the latter.
Last Ride does look like a beautiful film. If it's the book, the award winning filmmaker or Agent Smith that piques your interest then great. And if it's me writing about all three, then that's even better!
**Update 21/9 - trailer now released.
