Patrick Frater Asia Bureau ChiefAustralia-set fantasy-drama “Boy Swallows” is to shoot in Brisbane, Queensland from next month.
The series is an adaptation of Trent Dalton’s international best-selling novel “Boy Swallows Universe” and is being produced by Brouhaha Entertainment for streaming platform Netflix.“Boy Swallows Universe” follows working-class Brisbane teenager Eli Bell in a whirlwind story about drug addiction, ex-cons, poverty, violence and the discovery of hope through the power of love, said local screen agency Screen Queensland.
Dalton says that the story involves a “boy who receives a message on a red rotary dial phone in a secret underground room that tells him he must bust into Brisbane’s notorious Boggo Road Prison to save his mum’s life on Christmas Day.” “Boy Swallows Universe” was first published in 2018 by Harper Collins and holds the record as the fastest-selling Australia debut novel ever.
It was subsequently produced as a stage play. The previously announced series is adapted for screen by writer John Collee (“Master and Commander,” “Happy Feet,” “Hotel Mumbai”).
