Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Warwick Thornton, one of Australia’s leading filmmakers, is confirmed to direct “First Warrior,” an epic about Aboriginal resistance fighter Pemulwuy.
The creative, on-screen and producing teams are equally stellar. Australia was colonized in the late 1700s. Pemulwuy, a man of the Bidjigal tribes — from the region that is today modern-day Sydney — led a 12-year resistance against British settlers moving into his people’s traditional lands.
The film’s core creators are an all-Indigenous team including Thornton, writer Jon Bell (“The Moogai,” “Cleverman”) and writer-producer Andrew Dillon (“Le Champion,” “Outliers”).
Dillon, who is a direct descendent of both the Dharug and Gomeroi people, will produce through his That’s-A-Wrap Productions company.
