The official teaser trailer for Red Hill is out. Red Hill has been chosen as an official selection to be viewed at the 60th Berlin Film Festival 2010 and is the feature film debut of Patrick Hughes. The film stars: Ryan Kwanten (True Blood), Steve Bisley (Mad Max) and Tom E. Lewis (The Proposition).
When a young police officer, Constable Shane Cooper, relocates to the small high-country town of Red Hill with his pregnant wife, he does so in the hope of starting a new family. But when news of a prison break in the city sends the local law enforcement officers into a panic, Shane’s first day on duty quickly goes from bad to worse.
Enter Jimmy Conway, a convicted murderer serving life behind bars, he returns to the isolated outpost seeking revenge. Now caught in the middle of what quickly becomes a horrifying blood bath, Shane will be forced to take the law into his own hands if he is to survive. A tight action/thriller, Red Hill unfolds over the course of a single day. Told with explosive action and chilling violence, the story is a modern day western set in high-country Australia.
Wow, that is a movie I would like to see. A modern western, interesting combination.

I’m a western gal from way back … no matter what the setting, I am always primed for those stories. This one looks good. I would love to see Ryan as a modern-day lawman. Thanks, Lynn, for bringing us the trailer and the synopsis.

There are some well known Aussie actors in this movie, so it should be good! It has peaked my interest. I like the idea of it being shot like a modern time western, but then, the setting is “outback” and they do ride horses in some of these towns!

I sure hope it opens near me, I really want to see it. This might be a break out film for Ryan.

i like him when he’s mad….. and this wouldn’t be the first time he took things into his own hands.
