Trailer for Tomorrow, When the War Began (the Australian Red Dawn?)

If RED DAWN took place Down Under, is this what it would look like? And would “Wallabies!” be their war cry?

The premise of TOMORROW, WHEN THE WAR BEGAN does seem awfully familiar: when their country is attacked, a group of attractive teens takes up arms and engages in guerrilla tactics against the invading forces.

Based on a bestselling book series by John Marsden, the Australian action flick marks the directing debut of Hollywood screenwriter Stuart Beattie (COLLATERAL, G.I. JOE). Rachel Hurd-Wood (PETER PAN, AN AMERICAN HAUNTING) is probably the most familiar face in the cast.
