Last Ride coming
An old childhood friend of mine from Tamworth (who's commented here once or twice in relation to childhood things) made a short film, called Cracker Bag, which went on to win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2003. He has since been working on a feature film, due out in June this year, called Last Ride. You can watch a few trailers on the website I just linked to (I like Trailer 2). You can also peruse the Production Diary blog, if you're into watching how movies evolve.
He's told me in the past that this movie is a little like The Shiralee, only more brutal. I'm not so keen on the brutal idea, but will be off to see this movie.
