The cast George MacKay, Essie Davis, Earl Cave, Louis Hewison with director Justin Kurzel were joined by special guests including actress Cate Blanchett, musician Nick Cave, fashion designer Susie Bick, director and actor Dexter Fletcher, comedian Adam Hills, Playwright Andrew Upton and presenter Angus Deayton.
TRUE HISTORY OF THE KELLY GANG, is based on the Booker Prize winning novel by Peter Carey.
From visionary director Justin Kurzel, whose credits include Snowtown and Macbeth, TRUE HISTORY OF THE KELLY GANG is a bold and visceral take on the story of Ned Kelly, starring George MacKay (1917, Pride), Nicholas Hoult (Tolkien, The Favourite), Essie Davis (The Babadook, Babyteeth), Charlie Hunnam (King Arthur, Crimson Peak) Thomasin McKenzie (Jojo Rabbit, Last Night In Soho) and Russell Crowe (A Beautiful Mind, Master & Commander: The Far Side Of The World).

Produced by Hal Vogel (Endgame) and Liz Watts (The King), with Paul Ranford (Mad Max: Fury Road) and Justin Kurzel, the film is rousingly adapted from Peter Carey’s Booker Prize‐winning novel by previous Kurzel collaborator Shaun Grant (Snowtown) and co-financed by Film4.
Kurzel’s film shatters the mythology of the notorious icon to reveal the essence behind the life of Ned Kelly and in doing so will take audiences on a mesmerizing journey into the ashes of this brutal period in history. Spanning the younger years of Kelly’s life and the events leading up to his death, the film explores the motivations for the demise of this legendary figure. Youth and tragedy collide in the Kelly Gang, and at the beating heart of this tale is the fractured and powerful love story between a mother and a son.
