Trailer For a Western Thriller THE FURNACE Set In The 1890s Gold Rush of Western Australia
Signature Entertainment has released a trailer for an upcoming western thriller titled The Furnace. The film is set during the 1890s gold rush of Western Australia.
In the film, “To escape a harsh existence and return home, a young Afghan cameleer named Hamif (Ahmad Malek) partners with a mysterious bushman (David Wenham) on the run with two 400oz Crown-marked gold bars. Together the unlikely pair must outwit a zealous police sergeant and his troopers in a race to reach a secret furnace where they can safely reset the bars to remove the mark of the Crown.”
The film comes from writer and director Roderick MacKay, who is making his feature film directorial debut and it looks like a movie worth checking out.
The film stars David Wenham, Ahmad Malek, Jay Ryan, Mahesh Jadu, and Baykali Ganambarr. The Furnace will be released direct-to-DVD / VOD in the UK on January 25th. There’s still no word on when we’ll get to see it here in the U.S.
