‘The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee.’
The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee, one of the local films to have its cinema release impacted by the pandemic, will now premiere exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in Australia and New Zealand on July 17.
The comedy, directed by Dean Murphy, explores a fictional version of Paul Hogan as he is thrust out of quiet retirement and back into the spotlight. When his granddaughter Lucy (Charlotte Stent) finds out he’s been offered a knighthood for services to comedy and tells all her friends, Paul reluctantly accepts the offer and has six weeks to stay out of trouble before the ceremony. But wherever Paul goes, trouble follows.
Starring alongside Hoges and Stent are John Cleese, Chevy Chase, Olivia Newton-John, Shane Jacobson, Julia Morris, Rachael Carpani, Jim Jefferies, Reggie VelJohnson and Wayne Knight. Murphy, who co-wrote the script with Robert Mond, also produced the film alongside Nigel Odell.

Tilda Cobham-Hervey and Unjoo Moon at the Tiff premiere of ‘I Am Woman.’
In a sign of the times for independent distributors, Transmission Films expects to release approximately nine films in cinemas this year, down from 13 in 2019.
The more selective, cautious approach to acquisitions is Transmission’s response to the tightening market across-the-board for indie films, which co-founder Andrew Mackie estimates has dropped by 10-20 per cent.
That said, Mackie and co-founder Richard Payten are very confident about the 2020 slate, not least Unjoo Moon’s I Am Woman and Dean Murphy’s Paul Hogan comeback comedy The Very Excellent Mr Dundee.
Transmission has dated Moon’s Helen Reddy biopic starring Tilda Cobham-Hervey as the pioneering Australian feminist singer, which premiered at Toronto, on May 21.
Mackie says the release date for the film produced by Goalpost Pictures’ Rosemary Blight and scripted by Emma Jensen avoids the “post-Oscar season crush and allows...

Robert Mond overcomes a small budget to produce an antidote to the standard cookie cutter superhero flick that’s full of good, if not fully realised, ideas
In Chuck Palahniuk’s 1996 novel Fight Club – and to a lesser extent, director David Fincher’s 1999 film adaptation – the author floated the possibility of a being that was omnipotent but not benevolent. “You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you,” said Tyler Durden. “In all probability, he hates you.”
