13 January, 2020

"We're rebels… bandits… warriors…" Picturehouse Cinemas in the UK has revealed a new official UK trailer for the Australian indie drama True History of the Kelly Gang, which opens in Australia this month. This is the latest feature from Australian filmmaker Justin Kurzel, of The Snowtown Murders and Macbeth previously, and it's a re-envisioning of the tall tale of an Australian bush-ranger named Ned Kelly and his gang as they flee from the authorities during the 1870s. If you're from Australia, you probably know the story, but if not - this flips the whole story on its head anyway.
