It’s time to put the kettle on as Icon Film Distribution proudly announces that cast & crew from the new Australian feature film, LAST CAB TO DARWIN will be pulling up at Dendy Portside on July 12 for the exclusive Brisbane Premiere.

Director, Jeremy Sims and star Michael Caton will be in attendance for this special event screening of the movie. Following the films highly successful World Premiere launch at the 2015 Sydney Film Festival in June, Brisbane will be one of several locations in a national tour that is set to rival the very journey depicted in the film and the actual journey undertaken to make it.

Michael Caton gives the performance of a lifetime as Rex, a Broken Hill Cab Driver who, when told he does not have long to live, set’s off on an epic journey to Darwin to die on his own terms. Along the way he finds his horizons expanded as he meets new people and finds new perspectives; reminding us all that it’s never too late to start living. Acclaimed Australian actress Ningali Lawford-Wolf and now Hollywood sensation Jacki Weaver play the key roles of Polly, Rex’s neighbour and sometime lover in Broken Hill and Dr Farmer, the Darwin based doctor he believes has the answers to his condition. Variety recognised the performances of these talented actresses and Caton as “never less that note-perfect”. Mark Coles Smith is a standout as Tilly, with The Hollywood Reporter calling him “superb” and “a dead ringer for Brad Pitt’s hustler in Thelma & Louise”. London based Australian actress Emma Hamilton also bring the pivotal character of Julie, a nurse-turned-backpacker to life with spark and sensitivity.

Filled with humour and heart LAST CAB TO DARWIN has been captivating critics and audiences alike. Invited media and VIP’s for this exclusive event are sure to join the legion of fans that are fast building ahead of the films national release on August 6th.
