Ahead of its UK release next month, a new trailer has arrived online for Justin Kurzel’s adaptation of Peter Carey’s Booker Prize‐winning novel True History of the Kelly Gang. The crime drama stars George MacKay as in the lead role as the notorious Australian outlaw Ned Kelly alongside a cast that includes Essie Davis, Nicholas Hoult, Thomasin McKenzie, Orlando Schwerdt, Charlie Hunnam, and Russell Crowe; take a look here…
TRUE HISTORY OF THE KELLY GANG shatters the mythology of the notorious icon to reveal the essence behind the life of Ned Kelly and force a country to stare back into the ashes of its brutal past. Spanning the younger years of Ned’s life to the time leading up to his death, the film explores the blurred boundaries between what is bad and what is good, and the motivations for the demise of its hero. Youth and tragedy collide in the Kelly Gang, and at the beating heart of this tale is the fractured and powerful love story between a mother and a son.
True History of the Kelly Gang is set for release on February 28th in the UK.
