It was just this month I commented on the stamp Australia’s Blue-Tongue Films have left on international cinema with their dark, engrossing dramas. Following The Rover‘s release, their next project is Felony, which bowed at Toronto International Film Festival last fall and will begin its international roll-out this summer.
Today brings the first trailer for the film, which comes from screenwriter Joel Edgerton (starring in the film as well) and director Matthew Saville.The story follows three detectives who become embroiled in a tense struggle after a tragic accident that leaves a child in critical condition. One is guilty of a crime, one will try to cover it up, and the other attempts to expose it. Also starring Jai Courtney, Melissa George and Tom Wilkinson it looks like a compelling drama and one can see the trailer below.
Felony will be released this August in Australia and is currently seeking U.S. distribution.
