Sam Worthington and Jason Clarke to Star in ‘First Warrior,’ Warwick Thornton‘s Australian Aboriginal Resistance Epic (EXCLUSIVE)


Sam Worthington and Jason Clarke will star in 'First Warrior,' Warwick Thornton‘s Australian Aboriginal resistance epic.

Pemulwuy, a man of the Bidjigal tribes — from the region that is today modern-day Sydney — led a 12-year resistance against British settlers moving into his people’s traditional lands. The film’s core creators are an all-Indigenous team including Thornton, writer Jon Bell (“The Moogai,” “Cleverman”) and writer-producer Andrew Dillon (“Le Champion,” “Outliers”). Stuart Beattie, the Oscar-winning screenwriter with credits including “Collateral” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,” has also come on board alongside Phillip Noyce (“Rabbit-Proof Fence,” “Salt”) and Shana Levine (“The Portable Door,” “Charlie & Boots”).
