Cate Blanchett will star in Warwick Thornton’s next “The New Boy”.
Also starring Deborah Mailman and Wayne Blair, the Aussie-lensed production “depicts the mesmeric story of a 9-year-old aboriginal orphan boy who arrives in the dead of night at a remote monastery run by a renegade nun (Blanchett). The new boy’s presence disturbs the delicately balanced world in this story of spiritual struggle and the cost of survival”, according to THR.
Shooting in October, “The New Boys” will be produced by Blanchett, Andrew Upton and Georgie Pym will be producing via their Dirty Films banner, along with Kath Shelper for Scarlett Pictures.
Roadshow Films will be distributing the movie in Australia and New Zealand.
