It’s always intriguing the direction a screenwriter goes when they turn director. Stuart Beattie has become well known in Hollyood for writing the likes of Pirates Of The Caribbean, Collateral, G.I. Joe and 30 Days Of Night, but for his first directorial outing he’s gone for a vaguely Red Dawn type tale of a group of Australian teenagers out hiking, who have to face their country getting unexpectedly invaded, and must somehow learn to escape, survive and fight back. The movie arrives Down Under in September, and should come here sometime soon after. It certainly looks worth keeping an eye out for.
