Another Australian Made Film Wows Film Enthusiasts

By Yvonne Davis


A new Aussie film that was recently released based on a very well-liked book for teenagers. The Tomorrow When the War Began movie is based on a novel of the same name by popular Australian novelist John Marsden and it has done very well since its release.

John Marsden, an educator who currently runs his own school in Victoria Australia, wound up crafting books because he was troubled by the lack of enthusiasm his teenage pupils expressed in reading.

He definitely transformed that situation around when the first book in the series was introduced. In actuality his novel was so highly thought of that it grew to be part of the English syllabus in Australian high schools and has been known to transform a young person who had no interest in reading into an avid reader - at least when it comes to reading his series of the Tomorrow books.

Now the first book from the series has become a motion picture and audiences of all ages happen to be flocking to see it. It's the journey of seven teenagers who camp in the Australian bush and get back from their time away to discover their households deserted and their loved ones vanished.

They then head into town in order to find out what is going on and find out that their town had been invaded by a unknown enemy force while they were back on their camping holiday. The teenagers do whatever they can to protect themselves from capture by the enemy troops and choose to formulate a scheme to halt the enemy's grip on the town.

It's an thrilling adventure film that has you sitting on the edge of your seat in some of the action scenes. The movie reveals just how each character grows and develops within the harsh conditions they discover themselves in. It looks at the anxieties each young adult goes through trying to deal with what's happening to their town and their families, who are being held against their will at the local showground. There are enemy soldiers watching the main streets so they must remain careful not to get themselves shot at.

Filming took place in Australia at a few of the unspoiled wilderness zones of the Hunter Valley and Blue Mountain areas, and the action scenes were filmed mainly at the Fox Studios in Sydney.
