Fantastic Trailer For the Australian Western SWEET COUNTRY with Sam Neill
I've got a trailer here for you to watch for an Australian western called Sweet County. The movie is a period piece set in the outback in 1929 and it's based on a true story about a man who is on the run through the harsh landscape of outback with his wife after he murders another man is self-defense.I'm a big fan of westerns and this movie looks pretty damn good. Here's the story description:
Sam, a middle-aged Aboriginal man, works for a preacher in the outback of Australia's Northern Territory. When Harry, a bitter war veteran, moves into a neighbouring outpost, the preacher sends Sam and his family to help Harry renovate his cattle yards. But Sam's relationship with the cruel and ill-tempered Harry quickly deteriorates, culminating in a violent shootout in which Sam kills Harry in self-defence. As a result, Sam becomes a wanted criminal for the murder of a white man, and is forced to flee with his wife across the deadly outback, through glorious but harsh desert country. A hunting party led by the local lawman Sergeant Fletcher is formed to track Sam down. But as the true details of the killing start to surface, the community begins to question whether justice is really being served.
The movie stars Sam Neill (Jurassic Park), Bryan Brown (Cocktail, Along Came Polly), Matt Day, and Tremayne Doolan. There's not release date for the movie yet, but I'm looking forward to watching it when it is.
