Always excited by the prospect of showcasing the world our local Australian productions, it’s our pleasure here at J and E to today let the world know about upcoming Australian made The Legend of Ben Hall.
In what promises to be a thrilling and must watch big screen event, The Legend of Ben Hall is scheduled to hit Aussie cinema screens around the X-Mas period this year, with an overseas release hopefully happening in its wake.
We’ve provided some information on the film below thanks to our friends at Two Tone productions and we look forward to seeing all our local readers at cinemas in December!
About The Legend of Ben Hall –
A new Australian Western from Executive Producer Greg Mclean (Wolf Creek, The Belko Experiment, Jungle) that hits Australian cinemas this December through Pinnacle Films –
The Legend of Ben Hall is an action-packed drama that tells the true story of Australia’s most prolific outlaw, Ben Hall –
“After two years running from the law, bushranger Ben Hall has gone into hiding, He is soon drawn back into bushranging by the reappearance of his old friend, John Gilbert. Reforming the gang and taking on a new recruit John Dunn, the trio begin a spree of robberies and crimes across New South Wales. After the killing of two policemen, the three become the most wanted men in colony.
When the Government moves to declare them outlaws that can shot on sight by any person who chooses, Ben Hall makes desperate plans to flee the colony. But with such a large bounty on their heads, treachery abounds where they least expect it.”
The films first Teaser Trailer landed last week:
In the tradition of ’Ned Kelly’ and ’The Proposition’ set against the searing backdrop of Australia’s colonial period, ‘The Legend of Ben Hall’ is a gritty and powerful historical epic that boasts riveting debut performances, stunning cinematography and a stirring score. It also co-stars Callan McAuliffe (The Great Gatsby, Robot Overlords) and Andy McPhee (Animal Kingdom, Sons of Anarchy).

Fascinating! Too bad it will be many months until it comes out in my neck of the world.
Hopefully you won’t have to wait to long mate, perhaps a quick VOD release awaits.

Nice to see that the reboot of The Magnificent Seven is going to be complemented by an original non-American Western!
Looking forward to seeing its release in the UK.
Can always do with more westerns mate!

Might not beat Butch Cassidy but it looks like a pretty legit western. I will have to see this!
Always keen for a good Western!
