News Koalas fly V Australia We’ve joined forces with Redland City Council to highlight the plight of the declining koala population in Australia, which has dropped some 27% in the last ten years. Pan Da is a real koala living in the Redlands, near Brisbane Australia. Baby Pan Da was found orphaned and homeless wandering the streets on 8 August 2008 and placed in the care of a human family. That was the night of the Olympic Games opening ceremony in Beijing, which is how the little joey got his name. Pan Da was re-released into the Redland’s urban jungle and tracked via Facebook in January 2009. What started as a small koala awareness initiative has turned into a media hit with over 12,000 people following his progress daily. To learn more about the adventures of Pan Da Koala please check out his exciting cartoon showing on your flight today.

Movie Feature TWO IN THE TOP END Shane Jacobson and Paul Hogan play a father and son travelling to the northern most tip of Australia for a spot of Fishing in Charlie & Boots. Brendan Swift Finds out how the two comedy icons were put together by a big studio and a local production house.

SHANE JACOBSON AND PAUL HOGAN

SHANE JACOBSON AND DIRECTOR DEAN MURPHY

t was while filming in one of the many country towns that dot the eastern seaboard that Hoges saw her approaching. The elderly woman pointed her walking stick about a foot from his chest and announced in a loud voice: “There’s Paul Hogan”. His retort – to look around and ask “Where?” – remains a mark of the larrikin that brought Australia to the world through a series of landmark commercials, TV shows and films. It counted for little. She simply hit him with her walking stick and told him: “Right there, in the chair”. It may be almost 25 years since Crocodile Dundee became the biggest movie in the world, but Paul Hogan remains an icon. And Charlie & Boots teams him with another icon in Shane Jacobson – who shot to fame in 2004 as toilet plumber Kenny – in a heartfelt father-son road movie. Boots (Jacobson), concerned that his father Charlie (Hogan) is struggling to come to terms with the death of his wife, takes his initially

reticent dad on a road trip from regional Victoria to Cape York Peninsula, where they plan to fulfil a lifelong goal to go fishing. “When we put them together they just clicked – it was just obvious,” co-producer David Redman says. And, for the most part, the film strikes the right note between sweet-natured comedy and drama. It strategically veers away from the tough art-house dramas that have characterised the local industry and stranded it within a morass of insular topics such as drug addiction and myriad forms of self-abuse in recent years. The feel-good Kenny was the biggest Australian hit of 2006, grossing $7.78 million at the local box office. The producers behind Charlie & Boots, Instinct Entertainment, also backed Hogan’s last outing – Strange Bedfellows – which grossed $4.82 million and was the biggest local movie of 2004. “With Strange Bedfellows we kind of identified a potential audience that we

didn’t really feel were being catered to by other Australian films,” Redman says. “They responded really well. We always felt that that was an audience worth going after again.” The concept was conceived just over 18 months ago when writer and director Dean Murphy had dinner with Jacobson and his manager Deb Fryers. During the course of the evening, Murphy asked Jacobson whom he would most like to work with. Hogan – one of Jacobson’s comic heroes – immediately stood out. “He’s an incredibly funny guy who has spent a bit of time on Earth and has lived a bit of life,” Jacobson says. “A guy that is ever ready to be kind ... who just happens to be one of the most successful entertainers ever.” Instinct then joined forces with distributor Paramount Pictures Australia (alongside partner Transmission) and quickly moulded the film into a vehicle aimed squarely at mainstream audiences aged 35 and above. To bolster its family-oriented themes, the film was released on Father’s Day 2009. The film relies on a strong cast of quintessential Australian actors to flesh out its portrait of regional Australia, which will form a key part of the marketing push. Actors such as Roy Billing (Underbelly 2), Val Lehman (Prisoner) and Diane Smith (A Country Practice), as well as locals in the various regional towns, make appearances along the journey. The portrait of the many lolling small towns in regional Australia stands in stark contrast to the process needed to capture them. It took a cast and crew of more than 70, travelling in 30 vehicles over 7 weeks last November, across more than 3,000 kilometres, according to co-producer Shana Levine.

“There were many places we hadn’t ‘recced’ because they were so far and turning up with a crew of 70 plus and finding enough local accommodation near the locations, given the tight shooting schedule, kept everyone on their toes,” she says. “As well as the distances we also had the harsh climate to deal with. One morning we were shooting in Tamworth, we woke up, looked outside our hotel and it was sunny and the lawns were green. That night we struggled to get all the trucks and equipment out as the deluge began. The next morning, we were quickly packing our bags as we watched the water level rise outside our hotel window as there’d been six metres of rain overnight and the place was flooded and many roads closed.” As with Baz Luhrmann’s Australia, the film uses the Australian countryside to bring its characters and story to the fore. Director Dean Murphy and co-writer Stewart Faichney conducted their own road trip along the coast to scout for locations prior to the shoot. “We wanted to show the colour palette of Australia,” he says. “In Warrnambool, the way it changes from yellows, reds and browns and all different colours and the lusciousness of far north Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef.” Murphy and Faichney also worked together on Strange Bedfellows and their most recent collaboration shares much in common with its predecessor, which also paired Hogan with another Australian icon, Michael Caton, from The Castle. Comedies, and other feel good movies, make up a majority of Australia’s all-time box office hits although not all have succeeded in recent years. (The weaker scripts that underpinned two of Redman’s other production forays – Take Away (in 2003) and You and Your Stupid Mate (in 2005) – saw

them fail to gain a widespread audience.) “I think people forget how many people go to the cinema for escapism, and escapism is frowned upon,” Murphy says. While most Australian films flounder when it comes to the crucial marketing stage, the involvement of Paramount is likely to see a far broader campaign than most recent local fare.

“When we put them together they just clicked – it was just obvious,” co-producer David Redman says. “This was an [Australian] film that was developed completely outside the normal funding system – it was financed by a studio,” Redman says. “That’s not going to apply across very many production companies.” While the production budget has not been released, the filmmakers say Charlie & Boots cost slightly more than Strange Bedfellows, which received almost $4 million in government funding. The film is also a sign of Paramount’s commitment to the local market, since

its local arm was formed in early-2007 after the break-up of United International Pictures. The company, in partnership with Transmission (founded by ex-Dendy bosses’ Andrew Mackie and Richard Payten) has an explicit aim to co-finance and acquire local and international projects for the Australian and New Zealand markets. “This is not a film where we release in the art-house specialty sector: we wanted the mainstream public,” Paramount Pictures Australia managing director Mike Selwyn says. “This has a budget that allows all the media we would use for a regular Hollywood film.” Its US parent, Paramount Pictures, also co-produced Hogan’s Crocodile Dundee II in the late-80s, although Selwyn says Charlie & Boots’ laconic Australian humour is squarely aimed at local audiences rather than overseas. Paramount is also backing several other notable local films in development such as Wog Boy 2: Kings of Mykonos, Beneath Hill 60 (both with Transmission) and Tomorrow When the War Began. “With Australian product, we sense there’s so much talent there, the market is about to rebound in a big way,” Selwyn says Redman says studios are looking for good material that will reach audiences “First and foremost, they have to be made for an audience, and they’ve got to be made at a level that is appropriate for that potential audience, whether it’s big small or in the middle,” he says. “It really comes down to correctly identifying the scale of your audience and making a film that works in that way. Tying those links more tightly between development and distribution is really critical.” Charlie & Boots is showing on your flight today.

Balibo

The ‘Current’ Release Policy Ever wondered why we call them ‘current’ releases, when you might have seen them at the cinema a while ago? Well, that’s because as a rule airlines have to wait three months after movies have been released in US cinemas before film studios make them available to us. It’s to do with piracy issues primarily, and it’s the same for all airlines worldwide. At Vaustralia we add new movies every month and work hard to make sure the line-up contains as many new movies as possible, but sadly there is some delay between what is on at the movies and what is on-board. Having said that, there’s the odd occasion when we will show a movie before it’s cinema release in Australia - this month for example, you can see The Hurt Locker before it’s Australian cinema release 4th February 2010.  We hope you enjoy the selection of movies onboard your flight today, and if you have any comments or suggestions please drop us a line at ife.feedback@ vaustralia.com.au

But neither man is what he seems, and they soon find themselves plunged into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Named Best Picture at the 2006 Academy Awards, not to be missed.

Mary and Max Voices of: Toni Collette, Philip Seymour Hoffman. 01:20:00. M. The first feature length claymation film from Oscar-winner Elliot tells of a very unusual penpal relationship. Mary Dinkle is a lonely, 8 year-old living in Melbourne and Max Horovitz, a 44 year-old severely obese man living in New York. Spanning two continents, Mary and Max’s friendship survives more than the average ups and downs.

My Year Without Sex Cast: Sacha Horler, Matt Day. 01:36:00. M. An original comedy which follows a family over the course of a year as they tackle a life threatening disease head-on, navigating nits, housework, birthdays, faith, football, job insecurity, more nits and more pressingly for parents Ross and Natalie, whether they’ll ever have sex

again. An effortlessly likeable movie, both heartfelt and witty.

National Lampoon’s European Vacation Cast: Chevy Chase, Beverly D’Angelo. 01:35:00. M. Europe … get ready! The Griswalds are back on vacation and heading your way. In this first sequel to the 1983 hit, the Griswalds win a trip to Europe and set off to see the sights of London, Paris, Italy and Germany.

Salute Cast: Peter Norman, Tommie Smith. 02:00:00. PG. The black power salute at the 1968 Mexico Olympics remains one of the most powerful images of modern time and an iconic moment in the US civil rights movement. Almost forgotten was the seemingly quiet and composed man, the Australia Peter Norman, who stood alongside his fellow medallists Tommie Smith and John Carlos. This is his story.

Samson and Delilah Cast: Rowan McNamara, Marissa Gibson. 01:41:00. MA. Samson and Delilah’s world is a small, isolated community in the Central Australian desert. When tragedy strikes, they turn their backs on home and embark on a journey of survival. Lost, unwanted and alone, they discover that life isn’t always fair, but love never judges. A poignant film and one of this year’s standout Australian movies.

The Shawshank Redemption Cast: Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman. 02:22:00. MA15+ . Wrongly convicted, Andy Dufresne is sentenced to two consecutive life terms in Maine’s Shawshank prison for the murders of his wife and her lover. Set in the 1940’s, the film shows how Andy learns to get by in the brutal confines of the prison, and earning the respect of his fellow inmates. Nominated for seven Academy Awards.

Strictly Ballroom Cast: Paul Mercurio, Tara Morice. 01:34:00. PG. Scott Hastings is a champion ballroom dancer who dances ‘his own steps’, much to the chagrin of the Australian ballroom dance community. When his regular partner refuses to go along with his unorthodox style, Scott joins forces with the clumsy Fran to compete in the Pan Pacific Championships. See what Luhrmann did before Australia.

Wall Street Cast: Michael Douglas, Charlie Sheen. 02:06:00. M. Bud Fox is a young and impatient stockbroker, willing to do anything to get to the top, including trading on illegal inside information garnered from a ruthless and greedy corporate stock speculator who takes the young-gun under his wing. Superbly directed by Stone and featuring a career defining performance by Douglas. Remember – Greed is Good.

Kids Alvin and the Chipmunks Cast: Jason Lee, David Cross. 01:32:00. G. . When three chipmunks find their tree cut down and destined to become a Christmas tree in a record company foyer, the trio head to LA where they meet struggling songwriter Dave and impress him with their unusual talent!

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs Voices: Denis Leary, Queen Latifah 01:34:00. G. The sub-zero heroes from worldwide blockbusters “Ice Age” and “Ice Age: The Meltdown” are back for another incredible adventure. When Sid’s attempt to adopt three dinosaur eggs gets him abducted by their real mother,

his friends attempt to rescue him. Sing-a-long to “Walk the Dinosaur” performed by Queen Latifah.

Ice Age: The Meltdown Voices of: Ray Romano, John Leguizamo. 01:31:00. PG. Manny, Sid and Diego return in another incredible adventure. The Ice Age is coming to an end, and the animals are delighting in their new world: a melting paradise of water parks, geysers and tar pits. But when the trio discover that the miles of melted ice with flood their valley they must warn everyone.

Imagine That Cast: Eddie Murphy, Thomas Haden Church. 01:47:00. PG. Eddie Murphy stars as a successful financial executive who has more time for his blackberry than his sevenyear-old daughter. When he has a crisis of confidence and his career starts going down the drain, he finds the solution to all his problems in his daughter’s imaginary world. Screwball family fun, imagine that!

Monsters vs Aliens Voices of: Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen. 01:34:00. PG. When California girl Susan is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk on her wedding day, she mysteriously grows to nearly 50ft tall. The military quickly captures her and takes her to a secret government compound where she’s renamed Ginormica and locked up with a motley crew of monsters! Needless to say, the weddings off.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian Cast: Ben Stiller, Amy Adams. In this second 01:45:00. PG. instalment of the Night at the Museum saga, security guard Larry Daley faces a battle so epic it could only unfold in the corridors of the world’s largest museum. Now, Larry must try to save his formerly inanimate friends from what could be their last stand amid the wonders of the Smithsonian.

Best known for her role on the reality TV series The Girls Next Door, the Playboy star is now on a quest to discover the most beautiful and sexiest beaches in the world. With a love for adventure travel, Bridget dives head-first into the regional culture, sampling the local flavours, checking out the fashion and partying the night away.

Alex, Justin and Max are wizards, but only one of them will keep their magic abilities once they are adults. However, they must compete against each other in a magic competition to determine who retains their powers.

J.K. Rowling is one of the most famous writers in the world. Her Harry Potter books have sold 350 million copies worldwide. With the sixth Harry Potter film just released and a Harry Potter theme park to be built in Florida, what must the woman behind it all really be like?

So who is the mystery driver who tests highperformance cars on the hit petrol-head show, Top Gear? Tune in to this episode to witness the big Stig reveal. Also in this episode, the trio race from London to Edinburgh in a Jaguar XK120, a Vincent Black Shadow motorbike and a brand new mainline steam locomotive.

Winner of a record 37 Emmys and over 100 other awards during its eleven-year run, Frasier is one of the most successful spin-off series in TV history and one of the most critically acclaimed comedies. And it’s easy to see why. Incidentally, whilst the show is set in Seattle, only one episode was ever filmed there …

Known as the “Koala Coast”, the area around Brisbane is home to the largest number of urban koalas in the country. But with urban spread rapidly encroaching into their habitat, survival of these koalas is at risk. Luckily there is a group of volunteers crusading to help this Aussie icon.

Kate Miller-Heidke: Curiouser

The Do: A Mouthful

In-Di-Go – Therapy Room: Relaxation

Born in Brisbane, Kate was originally classically trained and had once intended to sing with Opera Australia. Recorded in L A, this is her second album and features her most recent single, The Last Day on Earth, which was heard on Neighbours resulting in her album reentering the album charts at #1.

This French-Finnish rock duo take inspiration from both classical and jazz music and the result is genuinely captivating. Dan and Olivia (who incidentally can speak three languages) are at the forefront of the French trend which has seen bands singing in English, and this is their debut album.

Had a mad rush to the airport; feeling stressed? Then this album is for you! Music is widely renowned for its unique healing properties, assisting in stress-relief, relaxation and rejuvenation. The Therapy Room series showcases beautiful healing music from some of the world’s leading relaxation artists, using guitar, flute and gentle percussion.

Gossip: Music For Men

Green Day: 21st Century Breakdown

U2: No Line on the Horizon

Ladies, don’t be put off by the title of this album; you’ll enjoy it too! This is the fourth studio album by this American band, and their musical style has been described as “a soul or gospel voice with a sort of funky punk soundtrack.”

This album continues the rock opera style of its predecessor American Idiot. Set in Detroit, Michigan, its loose narrative follows a young couple, Christian and Gloria, through the challenges present in the USA following the presidency of George W. Bush.

Unbelievably this is the twelfth studio album by the Irish rock band. In June this year, U2 began a world tour called U2 360 degrees to support the release of this album. No talk of an Aussie leg as we go to print, but they are returning to American stadiums in June and July 2010.
