Just yesterday we brought you a promo poster for WOLF CREEK 2 that cheekily ripped off the one-sheet for the EVIL DEAD remake. My opinion: Not very inspired. Now a new piece of art has emerged for the thriller, directed by Greg McLean, and while not exactly something you’d want to toss up on your wall, it’s somewhat unique. Note the tagline: The Outback Can Be Crazy This Time of Year. Haha?
Incidentally, the official Facebook page for Australian distributor Roadshow Films mentions that the official trailer for the film will be unleashed this coming Monday, so keep your eyes peeled for that. And if you want to join a “Google Hangout” session with McLean on that day, head over HERE for details.
The plot:
Lured by the promise of an Australian holiday, backpackers Rutger, Katarina, and Paul visit the notorious Wolf Creek Crater. Their dream Outback adventure soon becomes a horrific reality when they encounter the site’s most infamous local, the last man any traveler to the region ever wants to meet; Mick Taylor (John Jarratt). As the backpackers flee, Mick pursues them on an epic white knuckled rampage across hostile wasteland. Only one will remain to be dragged back to his lair to witness the true magnitude of his monstrosity. And if the last man standing is to have any hope of surviving where no one else has survived before, he’ll have to use every ounce of cunning to outwit the man behind the monster and become every bit as ruthless as the monster inside the man.
WOLF CREEK 2 comes out on February 20, 2014 in Australia. No word on when it will slash elsewhere.
