From the movie director of Boy,
Eagle Vs Shark and What We Do In The Shadows, comes HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE. Director Taika Waititi unleashes the first full length trailer of the adventure
comedy of a troubled young boy named Ricky (Julian Dennison),
who comes to find himself under the care of a cantankerous man named Hector (Sam
Neill). The two set out on a hilarious, shenanigan-filled adventure in
the New Zealand bush that’s filled with laughs, inventive storytelling, and a
hefty dose of heart.
Check out the trailer for Hunt For The Wilderpeople below:
The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival last month
and during an interview section with Taika Waititi by Collider Waititi reveals that the film just happened.
He further reveals that “Sundance felt like a natural fit”. He added that “When
we were making the film, we didn’t have a deadline, really. We just wanted to
make the film, we tried to do it kind of fast, and it just turned out that as
we were finishing it, Carthew [Neil], one of our producers, submitted it. They
ended up loving it. I’ve got a good relationship with them, I love coming here,
and I do think that this festival suits my films rather than most of the
festivals I’ve been to. I’m not going to Cannes, you know”.
Based on Barry Crump’s book
“Wild Pork and Watercres” and a follow-up to “What We
Do in the Shadows.” the film tells the story of a juvenile
delinquent left in the care of rough yet loving foster parents who live off the
wilds of the New Zealand bush. When a misunderstanding
leads to a national manhunt, the two must get over their differences to survive
in the New Zealand bush.
It must be noted that Taika
Waititi is also the director Marvel’s upcoming “Thor: Ragnarok”. The film stars Sam Neill, Julian Dennison, Rima Te Wiata, Rhys
Darby, Rachel House, Oscar Kightley, Tioreore Ngatai-Melbourne, Troy Kingi,
Cohen Holloway, Stan Walker, Mike Minogue, Hamish Parkinson and Lloyd Scott.
“Hunt for the Wilderpeople” opens in theatres
March 31 in New Zealand. A U.S. release date hasn’t been announced.
