Add Sucker to the growing list of Australian films that will have event cinema screenings followed a month or so later by DVD and VOD release. The producers and Madman Entertainment are counting on the sizable YouTube following of lead actor John Luc to help drive awareness of the comedy-drama which co-stars Timothy Spall and Lily Sullivan. Directed by Ben Chessell, who co-wrote the screenplay with Lawrence Leung, the film will screen at Hoyts Cinemas in the mainland capitals early next month. Luc and Leung will attend the screenings. Madman will release the title on VOD and DVD on January 13. "There will only be more and more attempts to innovate around release strategy for films which have audiences more broadly spread across various channels," a Madman spokesman said. Luc plays Lawrence, an 18-year-old Chinese Australian who cheats in his high school final year exams and fails to get into medicine.

After we put up the competition to win tickets to a screening of Red Dog, every single Australian who follows us on Twitter and Facebook replied telling us how great the movie is! It’s hits UK cinemas24th February and you can still enter our screening competition by clicking here. It’s also probably worth mentioning that Koko, the dog in the movie, recently beat Uggie, the dog from The Artist to win the award for ‘best dog’ award at the Golden Collar awards in La (no lie!!)
Have a watch of the clip below which shows Red Dog playing chicken with a car to demand the right to hitch-hike. It really sets the tone for the movie which I now really want to see!

Dampier, Western Australia, 1971. A wild and desolate place where workers from all over the world come here to sweat away. When the sun goes down, these grafters make their way to the industrial hick town’s only pub where they drink, recall their homes and get involved in fights. But this particular night things are somewhat quieter than usual. In the back room a dog is drawing its last breath. But this isn’t just any old cur,...

The new Australian film Red Dog will have its world premiere at the prestigious Berlin International Film Festival, held February 10 to 21, having been selected to screen in competition as part of Generation 14plus. For those familiar with the daring work of Australian filmmaker Kriv Stenders (The Illustrated Family Doctor, Blacktown, Boxing Day, Lucky Country), it came as a surprise to learn the director was overseeing the decidedly family friendly Red Dog. Adapted by Daniel Taplitz (Chaos Theory) from the novel by Louis De Bernieres (Captain Corelli's Mandolin), Red Dog tells the story of a spirited kelpie who roamed the West Australian outback in the seventies and eighties and unites a mining community along the way.
