A host of vibrant new stills have been unveiled from David Michôd’s upcoming Melbourne-set crime drama “Animal Kingdom.”
Starring the likes of Guy Pearce, Joel Edgerton, Ben Mendelsohn, James Frecheville, Luke Ford and Jacki Weaver in what is being touted as an award-season quality performance as the matriarch, the film centers on 17 year old ‘J’ who finds himself caught in the tense relations between his relatives and the police upon moving in with his grandmother — a sinister matriarch of a criminal family.
Sony Pictures Classics acquired North American rights to the film soon after an impressive bow at Sundance earlier this year (where it took home the Dramatic World Cinema Jury Prize) though no release schedule planned as of yet. In Australia, the film is slated to hit theaters June 3rd though Madman.
