A first look photo has been released from the Australian mystery drama, The Rooster, starring Hugo Weaving (Lord of the Rings, The Matrix) and Phoenix Raei (Clickbait). The movie follows a small town cop who discovers the dead body of his best friend.

They are joined in the cast by Helen Thomson (Elvis, Top of the Lake), Rhys Mitchell (Cake, Upper Middle Bogan), Bert La Bonte (Surviving Summer, Five Bedrooms), John Waters (Offspring, Mystery Road), Camilla Ah Kin (Wakefield, Holding the Man), Robert Menzies (Little Tornadoes, Glitch) and Deirdre Rubenstein (Force of Destiny, Superwog).
The film, which has just completed principal photography in Victoria state, is written and directed by actor Mark Leonard Winter (Escape From Pretoria), making his debut as a feature director. Weaving and Winter previously appeared together as actors in the films Measure for Measure and The Dressmaker.
