  • "ROGUE" trailer - first sneak peek

    Fangoria has posted a rough trailer cut of ROGUE. The new horror film from Aussie Wolf Creek director Greg McLean.

    "An idyllic Australian wildlife cruise disintegrates into terror when a party of tourists are stalked by a massive man-eating crocodile. Pete McKell, a cynical American writer, joins a disparate group of holiday-makers on a river cruise through the waters of Kakadu National Park. They discover a secluded lake but terror strikes when their craft receives a powerful blow from beneath the murky depths and begins to sink. With little choice, they beach the vessel on the closest dry land -a tiny mud island. With a rising tide and only half an hour of daylight left, fear grips the group as they realize they are trapped in the lair of a 'rogue' crocodile, governed only by its need to hunt and kill"

    For any of you "non" Australians reading this - let me inform you that giant crocs are in fact a reality here in Australia, however they are in remote areas of Western Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory. I got chatting to an American guy in Honolulu airport last year, and he was under the impression that Kangaroo's and crocs are everywhere in Australia - even in populated cities. Fortunately giant man-eating crocs are not - crocs and Kangaroo's usually inhabit the rural parts of the country - not the major cities. However it has happened where people have gone missing or are later found half eaten in some remote wildlife parks. So next time you fly into Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane its highly unlikely you'll step in Kangaroo or Croc sh!t.

    But next time you're at the "top-end" of our great Southern Land, and you're thinking about having a little swim - you may want to adhere to the warning signs first

    Cool... we haven't had a giant croc movie in the last month or so.

    Although I dug Wolf Creek (despite it being a serial killer movie) so I'm down with this one. Well, despite the characters' deranged insistence in hanging around (and over) water when there's a giant croc lurking about.

      The trailer looks pretty good. I really hate it when they show the beast or animal in the trailer. I paused on the crocodile and now I have no need to see the movie.

          Although I personally didn't find "Wolf Creek" to be any better of a movie than "Hostel" except maybe for the fact that the characters were a bit more fleshed out and or likable, what's wrong with a film centered around a serial killer?

                Nor do I really. But what made Wolf Creek a success was that the plot was loosely based on two real events that took place here. The backpacker killer: Ivan Milat and the UK tourist murder of Peter Falconio - which took place in a remote part of the Northern Territory. His body, to this day has never been found. Thankfully both killers are in jail.

                Also Wolf Creek was made on a budget of $2 million (AUD) - yet it grossed nearly $20 million (US) at the box office worldwide (including Aus). Not bad for a little indy film from Australia - which only had a limited US release - and mainly did the festival rounds.

                I also think a lot of the hype came from Tarratino and Michael Madson - who both personally promoted and hyped the film to Hollywood. And from what I've read ROGUE was financed with Hollywood money, yet its is essentially an Australian horror film. However US audiences should identify with it, because it has some American actors featured.

                Anyway giant croc movies are always good with a nice box of fresh popcorn and a jumbo coke. I for one will be watching it.

                  But that's the hook - they can't escape. Their boat has been beached and they're stuck on a small receeding island. They can't go anywhere - and swimming to shore is certainly out of the question.

                  These kinds of tours are an everyday thing where this film is located. So as fantastic and unlikely as it may be with a giant man-eating croc - running aground on a cruise boat is not entirely out of the question.

                  However it will be interesting to see how this film handles obvious safety proceedures and tools. Like radio, life rafts and first aid etc.

                    It's mainly American or Japanese tourists that get eaten by crocs. I suppose they like variety in their diet

                      I was being glib... I'm sure the reasons will be nailed down. That's why I liked Wolf Creek... the man seemed to put some thought into his process.

                          I love that movie. Sure, it's a Jaws knock-off, but they did a really good job while they were at it. Mulcahy is the reason why I'm actually holding on to some hope for Resident Evil: Extinction.

                            But what's really scary about that photo is that an 11 year old boy has a gun. Brilliant idea to give a kid a gun BEFORE they're "rational" brain has developed.

                            BTW, Everett De Roche has two films coming out this year - both thrillers from memory. He's a great guy and a prolific writer here - though more TV than film lately.

                              I had no idea Mulcahy was a Melbourne lad. To think that the first film clip on American MTV was directed by an Australian! Pretty funny really.
