Australian Sci-fi Horror Actioneer ‘Occupation’ Already Prepping Sequel
Occupation 2 is in the works – a month before the release of Occupation in cinemas across Australia on July 12, writes Cinema Australia. The announcement comes after two sell-out screenings of the Australian-produced, sci-fi thriller last week.
The Occupation sequel is set to serve as an anthology-type film set in the aftermath of an Alien invasion, with the focus on Australia.
Luke Sparke will return as writer/director of Occupation 2 and the film will be produced by Carly Imrie (Occupation, Red Billabong) and Carmel Imrie (Occupation, Red Billabong). Joining them is American co-executive producer, Todd Williams (The Nun, Alex & Me) and co-writer Felix Williamson (Avalon Now, The Circle).
In the film, “A small group of town residents band together after a devastating ground invasion. As they struggle to survive, they realize they must stay one step ahead of their attackers, and work together for a chance to strike back.”
Temuera Morrison (Star Wars, Aquaman), Dan Ewing (Home & Away, Red Billabong), Stephany Jacobsen (Battlestar Galactica, Revenge), Rhiannon Fish (The 100), Charles Mesure (“Desperate Housewives”), Aaron Jeffery (McLeod’s Daughters, X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Jacqueline McKenzie (“The 4400”, Deep Blue Sea, Don’t Tell), and Bruce Spence (The Road Warrior) star.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
