There starts her life-long journey to save the world’s coral reefs.
Radha Mitchell (“Pitch Black”) and Mia Wasikowska (“Crimson Peak”) will co-star opposite Bana alongside newcomers Ariel Donoghue and Ilsa Fogg.
Filming on the pic will take place in Bremer Bay and Ningaloo Reef. of the world.
“The Dry”, a murder mystery set in country Victoria, has grossed over $13m at the Australian box office since its opening on 1 January.
