• I read this script in 2005 was it? When it was called Lonely Planet. I thought it took place in the Outback. It was a great thriller. Liked it a lot.

  • This sounds exactly like Wolf Creek.

    • Yeah I’ve seen Wolf Creek. But I swear Lonely Planet took place in the Outback in the draft I read and he was this charismatic young guy psycho. Maybe they changed it cause it was too Wolf Creek even though that wasn’t a mainstream hit

  • This is so cool! Bernal in Georgia… just saw it on Georgian news. Kazbegi is a mountainous town in the north of the country and that’s were shooting will take place. It’s a very beautiful place.

• this reads nothing like wolf creek. it’s loosely based on a short story by bissell whose not genre at all, and is significantly more haady, subtle, and contemplative then something like wolf creek. in 2005 loktev was just working off a treatment. excited to see this finally go.

  • Whatever I’m not making this up and I know its nothing like Wolf Creek. It was definitely in 2005 that I read the draft. Maybe someone else took a crack at it.

    Hani is great. I’ve been waiting for her to pop mainstream.

    • Maybe it wasn’t the Outback but I thought it was. I could be inventing a memory. Anyway it was a great script that I did read and it will make a cool film with a cool cast.

• Those not lucky enough to have yet seen the work of Hani Furstenberg, be it on stage, screen or tv are in for a real treat. She is a tremendously gifted young actress who plays comedy that makes you laugh till you cry and drama that holds you to the edge of your seat. I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard that she is the youngest actress ever to win an Israeli oscar. Can’t wait to see what she does in this newest project!
