A high school reunion takes a turn for the worst: Find out where you can watch Class of ‘07, a show that explores what would happen if you became stranded at your old high school thanks to an apocalyptic wave.

For many, your ten-year high school reunion rolling around isn’t happiness-inducing. It’s a reminder that your teenage days are long behind you and requires you to mingle with people you may have mentally written off the day you graduated. No matter how bad you imagine the night going, however, it can’t go worse than the 10-year reunion of the class of 2007 that was hit by an apocalyptic tidal wave that left attendees stranded on an island in the middle of their high school campus.

Sounds captivating, right? If you want to see the drama of that tricky situation unfold for the class of 2007, the fictional show, Class of ‘07,...

Production has wrapped on Txl Films’ “Nomad,” featuring Leo Woodall, breakout star of HBO’s Emmy-winning series “The White Lotus,” and Sana’a Shaik (“2067”).

The film tells the story of a mysterious loner (Woodall) with a bizarre condition that takes him inexplicably to the ends of the earth. When he crosses paths with a stifled city girl (Shaik), they are plunged into a fight for survival that takes them across every continent.

“Nomad” is from writer-director Taron Lexton, known for “In Search of Fellini” (2017). The film is unique in that it is one of the few films that shot across all seven continents, like Jacques Perrin, Jacques Cluzaud and Michel Debats’ Oscar nominated documentary “Winged Migration” (2001).

Lexton filmed “Nomad” entirely on location across 26 countries, with its two lead actors and a traveling crew of just eight. The project was filmed in Imax on Arri cameras and lenses with no green screen,...

Eliza Taylor stars in girls’ night out comedy.

Myriad Pictures has bulked up its AFM sales slate with worldwide rights to girls’ night out comedy It Only Takes A Night from A Touch of Madness Studios.

Eliza Taylor (The 100) stars in the film, styled as being in the vein of Bridget Jones’s Diary and Sex And The City, about four best friends on a wild night who end up on a path none of them expected and find it only takes one night to find true love.

Exclusive: Eliza Taylor, who starred as the lead on the CW series The 100 for seven seasons, has signed with Verve for representation and lined up her next project.

Taylor got her start on the star-making Australian series Neighbours and will return to her native country for her next project It Only Takes A Night. In addition to playing the lead in the feature, Taylor will also serve as executive producer for the first time on the project.

The film follows four best friends on a girl’s night out, who end up on a path none of them expected and find out it really does only take one night to change your life.

While the film will be set in London, it will actually be shot in Perth, Australia, taking advantage of the countries lack of Covid-19 closures as well as placing Australian talent in front of and behind the camera.

Perth’s cobblestone streets and heritage buildings will form the London setting for Callan Durlik’s directorial debut It Only Takes A Night.

Set to begin shooting in early May, the romantic comedy follows four best friends on a girl’s night out who end up learning to own their worth, redefine their destinies, and support each other despite their differences.

Eliza Taylor leads a cast that includes George Pullar, Sana’a Shaik, Arielle Carver-o’Neill, Charles Grounds, and Jaime Ureta, with Western Australian Academy of Performing Art’s (Waapa) Ana Ika making her feature debut.

Having penned the script, Durlik will also produce the privately-financed film with Josh Horneman of Rookies Ambush (The Naked Wanderer), Megan Wynn of Wynn Media (The Invisible Man), and Kara Pisconeri of Star Shadow Media.

Taylor, who is also onboard as an executive producer, said the project appealed to her on multiple levels.

The arrival of Hollywood superstars and government money for tentpole movies have grabbed headlines in Australia. But independent film productions are also moving ahead in post-covid Australia.

Production will start next month in Perth, Western Australia on “It Only Takes A Night,” a film that is both a romantic comedy and a female empowerment movie. A first feature for writer-director Callan Durlik, the film follows four best friends on a girl’s night out, and end up on a path none expected.

Eliza Taylor (“The 100”) takes the starring role at the top of an ensemble cast that also includes George Pullar, Sana’a Shaik (“2067,” Netflix’s upcoming “Dive Club”), Arielle Carver-o’Neill (“Ash vs Evil Dead”), Charles Grounds and Jaime Ureta and local actor Ana Ika making her feature debut. Production is by Durlik and Josh Horneman of Rookies Ambush (“The Naked Wanderer”), Megan Wynn of Wynn Media (“The Invisible Man...

400 years from now you have to ask… Are we worth saving?

It still amazes me to this day that Jason Stackhouse is none other than lifeguard Vinnie from Home and Away. I mean back on that show he was the chubby lovable idiot now he is ripped and a bloody great actor to boot. So apart from utterly useless trivia about who an actor played years back, I am also a bit of a sci-fi nerd and when Chronical: 2067 (or just 2067 outside the UK) crossed my table and was billed as a timey-wimey, post-apocalyptic sci-fi with that young lad from The Road who is all grown up now and True Blood’s Jason Stackhouse (aka actor Ryan Kwanten). Well that was me interested jumping in with both feet. Question is, was the...

Miah Madden, Georgia May-Davis, Sana’a Shaik, Mercy Cornwall and newcomer Aubri Ibrag lead the cast of Network 10/Netflix’s teen mystery drama Dive Club, now shooting in Port Douglas.

Joining them is model Joshua Heuston in his screen debut, as well as Alexander Grant and Joseph Spanti.

The Steve Jaggi Company series follows four 16-year-olds who are skilled divers: Maddie (Madden), Lauren (Davis), Anna (Ibrag) and Stevie (Shaik).

After a cyclone, Lauren, the group’s charismatic trailblazer, goes missing. With the mystery of her disappearance, the arrival of a new friend, Izzie (Cornwall) and suspicious holes in the official investigation, the girls are plunged into a desperate search of their own that raises more questions the deeper they dive.

Netflix co-commissioned the show with Network 10, who has the first window in Australia.

Steve Jaggi is the showrunner and series creator, producing with Spencer McLaren, with Kelly Son Hing and Kylie Pascoe co-producing.

Released by AMC Networks’ Rlje Films on-demand and on 15 screens in the US last weekend, Seth Larney’s 2067 ranks in fourth spot on the US iTunes digital chart.

The sci-fi mystery thriller set on an Earth ravaged by climate change, where humanity is forced to live on artificial oxygen, trails the top title, Tate Taylor’s sci-fi thriller Ava, followed by British sci-fi drama Archive and The Secret: Dare to Dream.

The Australian/New Zealand distributor Umbrella Entertainment is yet to set a release date which will follow the Adelaide Film Festival premiere on the October 14 opening night.

Produced by Arcadia’s Lisa Shaunessy, Futurism Studios’ Jason Taylor and Kate Croser for Kojo Entertainment, the film stars Kodi Smit-McPhee, Ryan Kwanten, Deborah Mailman, Aaron Glenane, Damian Walshe-Howling and Leeanna Walsman.

By now the term “dystopian future” almost seems redundant, at least at the movies — when was the last time you saw a film in which the future wasn’t dystopian? Audiences can swan-dive down that familiar sinkhole once again in “2067,” an Australian sci-fi adventure that’s the first directorial feature from Seth Larney, whose visual-effects background is evidenced in a good-looking production that gets a lot out of its design aspects for the buck.

In the realms of storytelling and character interest, however, this stock “can our protagonist save the planet that humanity already wrecked?” tale proves less resourceful, bogging down in convoluted, low-boil intrigue despite taking place in both the titular year and 25th century. Though Larner gets sole screenplay credit, publicity materials note involvement of at least four other writers. The result is a movie that seems unaware just how generic the should-be-distinguishing details of its earnest eco-cautionary tale have turned out.

2067 is a cerebral sci-fi thriller from Australian writer/director Seth Larney. The film is set in a dystopian future where climate change has eradicated all plant life. Humans survive by breathing synthetic oxygen, but at a terrible cost. The artificial air causes a "sickness" that is killing the remaining population. 2067's detailed plot has several intriguing mysteries at its core. They unfurl slowly while the primary character faces an existential crisis. It's an interesting journey, but saddled with melodrama. 2067 gets bogged down and weepy at critical junctures.

Kodi Smit-McPhee stars as Ethan Whyte, a technician that works underground on the last city's unstable nuclear reactor. He volunteers for as many shifts as possible. His beloved wife (Sana'a Shaik) is dying from the "sickness." She needs the highest quality oxygen to survive. Ethan's father, Richard Whyte (Aaron Glenane), was a renowned scientist who predicted the coming apocalypse. He died when Ethan was a child,...

"What if I told you that you could save all of us?" Rlje Films has released an official trailer for a futuristic save-the-world sci-fi project tiled 2067, from Australian filmmaker Seth Larney.

In the year 2067, people are living on artificial oxygen, but this synthetic O2 is killing humanity. A time machine sends a message back - send Ethan Whyte to save the world. But how?

This looks really cool, definitely has some stunning visuals and that always gets my attention. But this trailer seems to give away the typical time travel reveal that you can't actually use time travel to save the past/future? I'm...
