Intense Surfing Drama ‘Drift’ Splashes In With New Trailer & Poster

Lionsgate Films are distributing the fact-based Aussie surfing drama DRIFT, which is directed by Ben Nott and Morgan O’Neill, and have released the first US trailer and poster. The film is set during 1970s Australia and is led by hunky trio Xavier Samuel, Myles Pollard and AVATAR’s Sam Worthington, the latter of whom seems to get a fair amount of criticism some some of the THN staff (although I feel he often gets a rough ride).

The film rolls into US cinemas from the 2nd August, however, there is no word on a UK date. It’s already received mixed reviews in its homeland having been release in May.

 After their mother escapes from Sydney to Margaret River in the 1970?s, the two Kelly brothers spend their youth searching for the perfect wave. Out of necessity the family launch a backyard surf business – re-thinking board design, crafting homemade wetsuits and selling merchandise out of their van. Battling big waves, small town conservatism and criminals, the brothers give rise to a global brand. A story of passion, corruption, friendship and loyalty, deadly addictions and fractured relationships, DRIFT tells a tale of courage and the will to survive at all odds.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
