Michôd's The Rover Gets Moving

Susan Prior ("Puberty Blues"), Gillian Jones ("Packed to the Rafters") and David Field ("Chopper") have all joined the cast of  the near future dystopian thriller "The Rover" according to a  Press Release.

Set in Australia twenty years from now, Guy Pearce stars as a man who has left every semblance of human kindness behind him. When his final possession, his car, is stolen by a gang of dangerous American criminals, he sets out to track them down. He soon kidnaps the naive simpleton of the gang (Robert Pattinson), the brother of one of the key members (Scoot McNairy).

Anthony Hayes also stars.

"Animal Kingdom" helmer David Michôd is writing the script, from an idea he and Kingdom actor Joel Edgerton ("Warrior," "The Thing") conceived. Michod will also direct.
