Based on true events – no seriously, there was a “Great Emu War” back in 1932 – the upcoming horror movie The Emu War looks to recapture the same bad-good energy of the Birdemic films. If that sounds up your alley, we’re happy to serve up the trailer this morning.
An emu mob fights back against Australian soldiers in this “unapologetically silly, ultra-low budget war epic,” and you can watch the official trailer for The Emu War down below.
In the upcoming movie, “Based on the infamous Great Emu War of 1932, a rag tag platoon of soldiers are driven into a brutal and bloody battle against Australia’s deadliest flightless beasts. Haunted by the kidnapping of his son at the hands of the Emus, Major Meredith leads the platoon behind enemy lines in order to kill the emus Leader the Queen Emu.”
Lisa Fineberg, John Campbell and Jay Morrissey directed The Emu War, which was written by the trio alongside Jonathan Schuster, Dane Simpson, Urvi Majumdar.
Damian Callinan, Lisa Fineberg, Aaron Gocs, Dane Simpson, Ben Russell, Lena Moon, Jonathan Schuster, Cameron James, Naomi Higgins, Ethan Marrell, and Luke McGregor star.
We don’t yet have a U.S. release date for this one. Stay tuned.
