The director who never sleeps, Kriv Stenders (Red Dog, Australia Day), has picked his next project, the action thriller Poacher, written by Thomas Martin (All That Way for Love). Luke Bracey (Hacksaw Ridge, Point Break) and Nick Nolte (Prince of Tides, Warrior) will star in the film, described as “…the cautionary tale of a young man (Bracey), motivated by vengeance, who goes to war with a fishing baron (Nolte) who rules the town, sending him on a journey which transforms him from a small-time abalone poacher into a criminal gang boss. The thrilling heist adventure will be shot against the stunning Tasmanian coastal landscape.”
“Poacher is an elevated crime drama that is a clever fusion of two genres – a thrilling sea adventure about a maverick abalone diver and, a classic story of survival, family, betrayal, corruption, loyalty, sacrifice, and redemption,” said producer Ashley McLeod.
