The Big Picture ✕ Remove Ads Writer, producer, director, and Palme d'Or nominee Justin Kurzel has left an unmistakable mark on Hollywood, who made his name with his feature directorial debut, The Snowtown Murders. He's since worked with some of the most talented names in the business on epic adaptations, but clearly favors moving true stories of real people and real events.
✕ Remove Ads JUSTIN KURZEL: Well, we're still yet to find a distributor. It's got one overseas and in Europe and in Australia, but we're still searching. So, it's still kind of journeying along. But I'm hoping very, very soon. It's one of my favorite films I've made. It's really beautiful about an incredible wildlife park and this beautiful man, Warren Ellis, who helped establish it. But it'll be very soon.KURZEL: Oh, wow.
I really enjoy the way you and your DP, Adam Arkapaw, collaborate. How much are you guys, before stepping on set, storyboarding, blocking, figuring out how you wanna handle everything, and how much are you finding everything in the moment when you're stepping on set? ✕ Remove Ads ‘The Order’s Cast Was Meant to Be From establishing the on-set tone to fulfilling Kurzel’s vision, this cast showed up and out. Close You put together this great cast for this movie. When you cast Jude Law in something, is it almost like entering a cheat code in a video game because he's so good in everything he does?
KURZEL: I'd rather not be specific, but it was under 40 days by quite a bit. It's really hard. It's starting to become really hard making these sorts of films. I think we made them more in the past, and you were given 60, 70 days to make them, and probably triple the budget that you get this time.
