Sneak peek at WAR MACHINE, coming soon. Produced, directed, and co-written by Victorian filmmaker Patrick Hughes
@patrick_hughes_ (The Hitman’s Bodyguard, The Man From Toronto), War Machine follows the final 24-hours of the world’s toughest selection program, as a team of Army Rangers encounter a threat beyond their imagination.
War Machine created 2,100 job opportunities for Victorians, including 10 locals in heads of department roles. The production also supported 80 local businesses and injected over $73 million directly into the Victorian economy, especially in regional Victoria, bringing in $7.5 million into locations, hospitality, and other regional businesses.
Reacher star Alan Ritchson (Ordinary Angels, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare) plays the lead role. Dennis Quaid (Reagan, Far From Heaven), Stephan James (The Piano Lesson), Jai Courtney (The Suicide Squad) and Esai Morales (Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One) star.
Australian actors Blake Richardson (Mystery Road: Origin), Keiynan Lonsdale (The Flash) and Daniel Webber (The Dirt) also feature.
War Machine is directed by Patrick Hughes, written by Patrick Hughes and James Beaufort, and produced by Patrick Hughes, Todd Lieberman (Wonder and The Fighter) and Alex Young (Shotgun Wedding), with executive producers Greg McLean (Wolf Creek, Jack Irish), Rich Cook, and Valerie Bleth Sharp (Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes).
Filming took place around Bright and Myrtleford as well as Melbourne and Docklands Studios.
