The teaser trailer has arrived for “The Fox,” an Australian-made dark comedy featuring none other than Olivia Colman as a talking fox paired up with Jai Courtney (“Suicide Squad”).
The project hails from writer/director Dario Russo, the man behind the viral superhero short film “Italian Spider-Man,” who has assembled a quite strong cast.
The list includes Miranda Otto and Sam Neill alongside Emily Browning (“Sucker Punch”), Damon Herriman (“Justified”), Claudia Doumit (“The Boys”), Zlatko Burić (“Superman”) and several famed Aussie veterans like Kim Gyngell, Heather Mitchell and Frankie J. Holden.
Courtney plays Nick, the affable heir to a wealthy rural landowner who discovers his fiancée, Kori (Emily Browning), is cheating on him and wants nothing more than to just fix the problem.
One night, he captures a rogue Fox (Colman), and she offers him a trade-off: if Nick lets her live, the Fox will help him save his relationship.
All he has to do is push Kori into a magic hole with the power to change her into the perfect partner. Nick follows the Fox’s advice, and the Kori who re-emerges seems to be everything he ever wanted.
Then, her strange new quirks make him question his decision. “The Fox” is currently set to open in Australian cinemas on October 29th.
