Matthew Saville on the Adelaide set of A Month of Sundays.
Felony director Matthew Saville is getting ready for the release of his new film.A Month of Sundays, starring Anthony Lapaglia and John Clarke as Adelaide real-estate agents.
The film will be released April 28 by Madman after festival runs at Tiff and Adelaide last year.
In between promotional duties, Saville is also looking ahead to what's next - even though, as he says, "I can't say what's next, because it's not really up to me".
"I'm developing a few projects but they're just really rough treatments and it's years before they're ready. The one that's furthest down the pipeline is an adaptation of a book by David Marr and Marian Wilkinson called Dark Victory, about the Tampa Crisis in 2001".

Just before films premiere at festivals or are released into cinemas, one can expect the producers of the next project with the director or star to announce news of their next project as it's likely to be well reported. This rule stays true for the producers and director of Felony, who have announced a new feature together, but with the added impact of perfect timing as their next project directly relates one of the major issues being debated in the current Australian federal election campaign - and thus will doubtless receive heavy coverage as a result.This next film is Dark Victory, based on the book of the same name by David Marr and Marian Wilkinson (although that had the added unsubtle subtitle, "How a Government Lied its...

The .children overboard. controversy of 2001 will be re-enacted in the film Dark Victory, which Matthew Saville will direct for Goalpost Pictures.
The screenplay is based on the 2003 book Dark Victory: How a Government Lied its Way to Political Triumph by David Marr and Marian Wilkinson.
The book chronicles the Howard government.s refusal to allow the Norwegian freighter Tampa, which had rescued 438 mainly Afghan refugees from a stricken Indonesian vessel, to enter Christmas Island in Australian waters.
The refugees were taken to the island of Nauru, prompting accusations that the government was evading its human rights responsibilities.
The issue was widely regarded a key factor in the government.s 2001 re-election, with Howard asserting that, "We decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come."

If Magazine asked Saville about his plans after he won two Australian Directors. Guild Awards: for the mini-series cloudstreet and for Harry.s episode in The Slap in the category for drama series.
He only answered in terms of features . later suggesting that perhaps he only has the stamina to get to 100 pages . but made it very clear how important television is to him.

One of Australia’s most respected journalists, David Marr, has resigned from Fairfax Media’s Sydney Morning Herald.
Marr was one of the signatories of last month’s statement to shareholder Gina Rinehart, who is seeking seats on the board, on the importance of the company’s charter of editorial independence.
At the time, Smh economics editor Ross Gittins threatened to resign if Fairfax’ editorial independence was threatened. Marr said in interview with the Sydney Morning Herald last week “I love newspapers, I want newspapers to survive.”
Editorial director Garry Linnell said it was with “enormous regret” that he announced Marr had “chosen to mark his 65th birthday today by leaving us. David has had four stints at Fairfax and our publications. Our readers and our staff have been richer for it.”...

Sydney Morning Herald economics editor Ross Gittins has become the first senior Fairfax Media journalist to suggest he might resign if Gina Rinehart refuses to guarantee editorial independence.
His pledge came as Fairfax journalists called on mining billionaire Rinehart to commit to the company’s charter of editorial independence.
The demands came the day after Rinehart confirmed that she had increased her stake in the company to 18.67%, making it all but certain that she will be given seats on the company’s board.
Yesterday saw the company unveil a wide ranging restructure which will see 1900 job losses, press closures, a switch of the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age to tabloid format and the introduction of paywalls.
Staff staged press conferences outside the Smh in Sydney and The Age in Melbourne this afternoon.
