The King is Dead! trailer

From the director who brought you the films Bad Boy Bubby, Ten Canoes and The Tracker comes a new feature, The King is Dead!

A happy, unsuspecting couple, Max (Dan Wyllie) and Therese (Bojana Novakovic), buy a house in what appears to be a quiet, friendly neighbourhood. Settling in well, they make friends with a nice family on one side and soon meet another more interesting family on the other side. But interesting soon becomes loud, and loud soon becomes intolerable. When the intolerable becomes violent and the police are powerless, Max and Therese attempt to take matters into their own hands.

The King is Dead! is released by Pinnacle Films in selected cinemas on July 12.

  1. This gives me hope. Bad Boy Bubby was the principal reason I moved to Australia, as I thought everyone would be like the characters in the film. Looking at our PM, it’s obvious that incest and aberrant behavior are the norm and I’m rapt to have made that obviously correct decision.

    BBB is hands-down one of the top Aussie films of all time and probably highly related to the fact my cats would flee whenever I ordered pizza or used Glad wrap.

    However, the sad fact that the director’s forays into such films (sic) better suited for mandolin picks such as Alexander’s Projects, Dr. Plonk, and those Canoe albatrosses put me off him almost forever have now disintegrated with this lovely return to form at least from the looks of the trailer. If all it is, is a bogan version of Straw Dogs I will be rapt. It looks like it was shot live at a union meeting outside the Tonsley Park car plant during it’s more prolific days.

    Welcome back Rolf…

    There is hope…
