The new trailer for director Luke Sparke’s Australian-produced, sci-fi film Occupation is here. The action-packed trailer features ‘Storms’, a track from Powderfinger’s lead guitarist and songwriter, Darren Middleton.
“After their small Australian country town is annihilated by an overwhelming airborne attack, a group
of civilians evade capture and discover they are now among the last remaining survivors of an
extraterrestrial invasion engulfing the entire planet. As humanity falls under worldwide occupation, they form a home-grown army to fight back against vastly superior enemy forces. On the frontlines of the battle for Earth, they are our last hope.”
The stellar ensemble cast of local and international talent includes Dan Ewing (Red Billabong), Temuera Morrison (Star Wars), Stephany Jacobsen (Revenge), Rhiannon Fish (The 100), Jacqueline McKenzie (The Water Diviner), and Bruce Spence (Star Wars, Mad Max 2). Production wrapped on the Gold Coast in late 2017, which involved local crew and a supporting cast of more than 300 people.
The alien invasion film is from the same team behind the feature film Red Billabong: writer-director Luke Sparke, and Producers Carly Imrie, and Carmel Imrie.
Occupation will arrive in theaters nationwide on July 12, 2018, from Pinnacle Films.
