Long Tan producer Walsh
The producer of the long term film project The Battle Of Long Tan has brought in a new team for a restructure of the script originally drafted by veteran director Bruce Beresford.
Martin Walsh said that he had approached The Story Shop trio of James Nicholas, Paul Sullivan and Karel Segers to develop a new approach to telling the story of the Vietnam battle and the Australian soldiers involved.
Walsh, who is producing the film through his production company Red Dune Films, is aiming to raise a budget of $15m. Walsh told Encore that Beresford – whose direction credits include Driving Miss Daisy, Breaker Morant, Mao’s Last Dancer and currently The White Mouse may yet direct. He said: “We talk all the time.”
Actor Sam Worthington – who narrated Walsh’s 2006 documentary on the Battle of Long Tan – remains interested in the lead role, said Walsh.
