As we reflect on the last ten years, it’s difficult to think of a director with a more thrilling, inventive output than Terrence Malick. After setting a high bar for the decade that still has yet to be topped with his magnum opus The Tree of Life, he delivered a trio of formally stunning, forward-thinking gems, a pair of awe-inspiring IMAX documentaries, and, finally, before the decade comes to a close, his acclaimed WWII-era drama A Hidden Life. If you’re in NYC you will now be able to experience all of these films on the big screen, as well as the rest of his filmography. Timed with the release of his newest film, Museum of the Moving Image in Queens is presenting a retrospective titled Moments of Grace: The Collected Terrence Malick.

The story of Thy Kingdom Come's journey to the screen is unique, to say the least. 

The project, which recently debuted at the SXSW Film Festival, is just over 40 minutes long and consists of cut footage from Terrence Malick's 2012 film To the Wonder. Malick commissioned Eugene Richards, along with actor Javier Bardem (in-character as fictional priest Father Quintana), to travel to Bartlesville, Oklahoma, for a month to speak with the locals and get their stories.

One of the more unexpected spin-offs in the last few years, Eugene Richards‘ “Thy Kingdom Come”, is a pseudo-documentary pieced together from excised footage of Javier Bardem’s character Father Quintana from Terrence Malick’s 2012 film, “To The Wonder.” Richards, a famous photographer in his own right, was contacted by Malick to find real people to interact with Bardem’s character.

SXSW 2018 is upon us. Here are 10 films, without Tomatometers to guide us comfortably, premiering at this year's fest that you can bet on.

Relaxer - Joel Potrykus

Dogged to deteriorate ‘til he clobbers the unclobberable, Abby can’t flee his dent in the couch til he bests his brother’s bet to beat level 256 of Pac-Man. The stakes are, in that Potrykus way, only as strong as the disillusioned hero can envisage. Sleepless, stagnating, running on processed dairy, Abby’s obstacle might be Potrykus’s most menacing yet.

Don’t Leave Home - Michael Tully

Michael Tully’s first feature since the low-dose nostalgia trip Ping Pong Summer leaves comfort for myth and mystery, a curiosity and obsession that leads an artist away from the hearth.

Exclusive: Eugene Richards’ film Thy Kingdom Come is truly a unique piece of work that stems from Terrence Malick’s To The Wonder. Richards, a researcher and videographer on To The Wonder, created a standalone film from video he shot for Malick's production, a small amount which was actually used in the final film featuring Javier Bardem as the priest, which will make its world premiere at SXSW this week. The film follows a cancer patient mad at God; a Klansman seeking…...

A new trailer has emerged for the 43-minute short Thy Kingdom Come, a film made of the scenes that landed on the cutting room floor of Terence Malick’s To The Wonder.

To The Wonder told the story of four key characters with the focus on a love triangle between three of them – Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams and Olga Kurylenko. Javier Bardem as a priest was the fourth character, and this new short focuses on his character.

The short film which has been put together from footage taken at the time when the original feature began shooting back in late 2010 by Photojournalist Eugene Richards. Richards was hired by Malick to shoot scenes in which Bardem’s priest would interview the local residents of the town Bartlesville, Oklahoma where some of the story is set.

With Malick’s permission, Richards has assembled the film which will premiere at SXSW next month.

Terrence Malick is one of the most notorious filmmakers when it comes to cutting footage. Not even being a household name guarantees you a spot in the final edit of a Malick movie (just ask Adrien Brody, Viggo Mortensen, and more). The director’s 2012 drama “To The Wonder” stars Javier Bardem in the brief role of a conflicted priest. The theatrical cut of the film features Bardem more in voiceover as his character meditates on the nature of faith and love, but it turns out that a lot more footage of the actor was shot that never saw the light of day. Until now.

One of the films world premiering at the upcoming South by Southwest Film Festival next month is “Thy Kingdom Come,” which has been revealed as a surprise spinoff of “To The Wonder.” The 43-minute film features Bardem’s priest as he interviews different Oklahoma natives about what is troubling them most.

Filmmaker Terrence Malick doesn’t strike one as the type to traffic in sequels and spinoffs, especially for his little-seen Ben Affleck/Rachel McAdams/Olga Kurylenko drama To the Wonder, but that’s exactly what’s happening. A trailer for a short film called Thy Kingdom Come has landed online, which effectively serves as a spinoff of the 2012 film and is made up of unused footage. Per The New Yorker (via The Playlist), photojournalist Eugene Richards was hired by Malick to join him on the Bartlesville, Oklahoma set of To the Wonder, where Richards was tasked with filming …...

"I also see how difficult it must be for you to survive..." A trailer has debuted for an intriguing film titled Thy Kingdom Come, which is premiering at the SXSW Film Festival in March in the "Visions" section. How many remember Terrence Malick's 2012 film To the Wonder, with all the twirling? Thy Kingdom Come is a film made up of extra footage from early research on To the Wonder. In 2010, photojournalist Eugene Richards was hired by Malick to go to the town Bartlesville, Oklahoma with Javier Bardem (who plays a priest in the film) and meet some of the local residents. Some knew who he was, others didn't. "Absolutely no one cared, in the end, who he was, except that he was there to listen." Richards eventually got the rights back and made this 43 minute film, which screens alongside Malick's Vr project Together. First look below. Here's the first...

Considering how much footage is shot when it comes to the films of Terrence Malick, we often see varying editions (The New World) and versions (Voyage of Time), not to mention the numerous actors whose characters are completely cut out of the film. It was only a matter of time before an entirely different film was made of the unused footage, and now that’s the case when it comes to extra materials left in the editing bay from To the Wonder.

Back in 2010, photojournalist Eugene Richards was hired by Malick to venture into the town Bartlesville, Oklahoma with Javier Bardem as his priest character. Over the course of the shoot, they spoke to the townspeople, ranging from a former Ku Klux Klan leader to a woman who recounted her stories of sexual assault. While some of this was seen in the final film, of course, there was mountains of it left over.

Tennis legend Pat Cash appears in a new ad for Quicksales.com.au which promotes the idea that everybody could use the help of extra cash.

Quicksales is the auction and classifieds arm of carsales.com.au .

The campaign – created by Melbourne agency Marilyn & Sons – includes TV, outdoor, online and digital.

The site’s chief marketing officer Vladka Kazda said: “We felt that our campaign needed a truly Australian flavour to reinforce that quicksales.com.au is an all-Australian classifieds and auctions alternative. Pat puts an Aussie stamp on quicksales.com.au that’s hard to ignore.”

“We wanted someone Australians identify with, as well as someone prepared to have some fun with our brand. Pat was the perfect choice,” she said.

Vb poster in the lobby of Clems Melbourne

Vb has brought back its well-known ‘For a well earned thirst’ slogan to mark the return of the popular beer to full strength.

Along with a new ad campaign, created by Clemenger Bbdo Melbourne, comes new packaging, designed by Cowan, which sees the Victoria Bitter name put back on the label, along with the Vb abbreviation.

Carlton & United Breweries Gm of Victoria Bitter, Richard Oppy said in a release: “The feedback from drinkers about the return of Victoria Bitter to full flavour and full strength has been overwhelmingly positive and we think returning to the ‘For a hard earned thirst’ tagline will be just as well received.”

Nab has launched the final instalment of its Stand-Ins campaign, which saw the bank’s staff replace people working on the day of the Afl grand final so they could attend the match.

The last video in the series takes a look at the jobs Nab staff did as stand-ins. These included being a fire fighter, a radio DJ, a beekeeper, a children’s entertainer, an animal handler, a dog groomer, a wakeboarder and a ukulele player­­.

The campaign originally broke with a competition to find Nab staff to volunteer to be stand-ins in August.

Ant Keogh, Ecd at Clemenger Bbdo Melbourne, said: “During the big game, footy fans saw TV crosses to Stand-Ins while they were performing the duties of the people they replaced around Australia. People couldn’t believe that Nab were actually doing this for real.”

Not-for-profit group Thankyou Water has launched its first campaign to raise awareness for the importance of safe water in developing nations.

Created in-house, the campaign was produced with entirely donated time and resources valued at $110,000. The ad features children living in the third world enjoying running water and includes only two words – Thank you.

Thankyou Water MD Daniel Flynn said: “Each person featured in the Tvc is a Thankyou Water drinker or a beneficiary of the projects we’ve funded. This is because we wanted to really capture the Thankyou Water moment – where one purchase funds a water project, which then changes a life,” he said.

Both Foxtel and Nine have donated advertising space to air the ads. The campaign will be supported by social media.

All proceeds from the water go towards funding water projects in the developing world and to date, the Melbourne based enterprise has contributed to 58 water projects in Cambodia,...

Tea brand Tetley has launched a female-targeted campaign in which a woman leaves her husband to make a cup of tea.

The campaign for the Tata Global Beverages brand – the first for Clemenger Bbdo Melbourne – aims to break away from a ‘world of cosy bliss and escapism’ and pay homage to women.

Anthony Keogh, Ecd of Clems Melbourne said: “It seemed like nobody was really acknowledging tea for what it is. It’s not a big fix or a magical escape. It simply gives you a few minutes of courage, before you get back out there.”

While the first ad, entitled ‘Leaving’ focuses on Tetley’s flagship black tea, following ads will showcase chai latte and fruit and herbal ranges.

The campaign will be supported by print.
