Melbourne, 9 October 2012 – The first full length trailer
for Australian comedy SAVE YOUR LEGS! has been released ahead of its first
international screenings. SAVE YOUR LEGS! will have its international premiere
in front of a sold out audience at the London Film Festival this week before
screening later in the month at the Mumbai Film Festival. With English and
Indian audiences both being cricket crazy, the film is sure to come home with
runs on the board.
Producer Robyn Kershaw commented “Much like the film, our
trailer is a hearty mix of comedy and the life-force inherent in India and in
cricket lovers - for those who like to watch or play. Along the way we take a
glimpse at the secret world of men - their thoughts about women, about children
and each other”.
SAVE YOUR LEGS! will release on January 24th for the
Australia Day long weekend, in the heart of the cricket season. The film will
release simultaneously at metropolitan and regional locations around the
country to ensure backyard cricketers everywhere will get the chance to have
fun in cinemas on our nation’s day of celebration.
SAVE YOUR LEGS! is inspired by true events - a group of
men who took a chance and won at life-long friendships. The cast includes
Stephen Curry (The Castle, The Cup), Brendan Cowell (Beneath Hill 60, Noise)
Damon Gameau (Balibo, Underbelly) and Bollywood beauty Pallavi Sharda. The film
was directed by Boyd Hicklin and produced by Robyn Kershaw and Nick Batzias and
written by Brendan Cowell.
