No one is going to see this movie!!! Why are movies like this being made when there are SOOOOO many great scripts sitting on studio shelves??? The answer to that question is a headline we'll never read.

why are films like this being made you ask...well it was made a long time ago in a far away land called Australia. you might have heard of it. they have dangerous animals and tough women. it is one of the greatest australian films ever made in my opinion. "BHP" bill (hunter) has never been better and the way Noyce interweaves the real footage with his is quite incredible. like the quiet american and rabbit proof fence this takes a somewhat historical event and scales it down to the pursuit of individual dreams. A couple of years back, if i remember correctly, Noyce sued the national broadcaster here (ABC TV)in Aust. for changing the film and presenting it on tv without his consent. i'm not sure of the outcome or if this is actually what happened. i do remember there being some problem between him and the abc regarding the way it was shown on tv.
Beaks, you are all too right. Not to gloat or anything but last

LAWRENCE OF ARABIA in 70 MM and THE WILD BUNCH. Back to back. On the same day. Have I had a better time at the movies this year? Hell no.

Just for the record, Newsfront is available on DVD here downunder, with many additional features including a commentaries by Noyce and writer Bob Ellis, who is a bit of a noted (and notorious) raconteur about these parts. If you're keen to see, and can watch PAL?Region 4 DVDs, here's a link: http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item. zml/2725
Hell, ZELIG had better 'spliced-in footage' than FORREST GUMP.

NEWSFRONT is a classic, by the way. Good to see Noyce getting back to that level of talent with his last few films. Mind you, making THE SAINT and THE BONE COLLECTOR would put doubt into any director's head.

Newsfront is a major cinematic achievment- Heatwave also warrants revisiting. Neither film is as good as MATRIX:RETARDED but you knew that already.
