LOS ANGELES: Noted Hollywood star Cate Blanchett has wrapped up shooting for the upcoming movie 'The New Boy', a drama film by Australian Indigenous filmmaker Warwick Thornton.
Blanchett takes both a starring role and a producer credit in the movie, the reports quoted by 'Variety', as saying.
"The New Boy", a 1940s Australian film starring debutant Aswan Reid, tells the tale of a nine-year-old Aboriginal orphan boy who arrives at a distant monastery run by a rebellious nun in the middle of the night (Blanchett). There, his presence upsets the delicately regulated universe in a narrative about the price of survival and spiritual battle.
Deborah Mailman and Wayne Blair are two additional well-known actors in the ensemble. The cast is completed by a group of fresh faces, including Tyler Spencer, Shane Brady, Tyrique Brady, Laiken Woolmington, Kailem Miller, Kyle Miller, and Tyzailin Roderick.
One of Australia's most well-known directors is Thornton. At the 2009 Cannes Feature Festival, his "Samson And Delilah" won the Camera d'Or for best debut film. In 2017, his "Sweet Country" earned the Platform Prize at the Toronto International Film Festival and the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.
