Roadshow Films has premiered the first trailer for “Force of Nature: The Dry 2,” the somewhat awkwardly titled sequel to 2020’s well-regarded R-rated Australian rural noir thriller “The Dry”.
The first film was an adaptation of the Jane Harper novel of the same name. Harper has penned three books so far with the same lead character of Australian federal agent Aaron Falk. Each one has him investigating a different case.
This will adapt the second book, “Force of Nature,” with Eric Bana reprising the role he played in “The Dry” along with Robert Connolly back as director and writer.
In the new film, five female colleagues take part in a corporate hiking retreat in Victorian mountain ranges – only four come out on the other side. Each of her companions tells a slightly different story about what happened.
Falk and Agent Carmen Cooper head deep into the isolated forest and mountains to investigate and hopefully find the missing hiker – Alice Russell (Anna Torv) – a corporate whistleblower who was their informant.
Deborah-Lee Furness, Robin McLeavy, Sisi Stringer, Lucy Ansell, Jacqueline McKenzie, Jeremy Lindsay-Taylor, Richard Roxburgh, Tony Briggs and Kenneth Radley co-star in the film, which hits Australian cinemas on August 24th.
Suspect everyone. Trust no one. Eric Bana returns in FORCE OF NATURE: THE DRY 2, coming to Dendy Cinemas August 24. #ForceofNatureMovie pic.twitter.com/3la9iR7270
