The Premise from Greg at Yahoo! Movies:
"Ned Kelly (Ledger) and his brother Dan, sons of an Irish pig thief exiled to the Australian penal colony in 1843, formed the core of the Kelly Gang (with two other men), an outlaw gang (they were called "bushrangers", not "cowboys") that roamed across Australia for over two wild years. Kelly was a clever bandit, making his own homemade armor, including steel chest plates and helmets, to stop bullets from stopping him. Kelly was first arrested at 16 for horse stealing, but he became an outlaw when he killed a police officer who was harrassing his brother. (Rush plays the police superintendent after Kelly; Watts plays Kelly's romantic interest.)"
I for one think this sounds like a good western. We haven't had a "good" western in quite some time. I have heard that this will be showing overseas before the US. Will it get a regular release here too? What does everyone else say?
