New Trailer for Australian Surf Drama ‘Drift’ Starring Xavier Samuel, Sam Worthington, & Myles Pollard
A new trailer for Ben Nott’s Australian surfing thriller Drift has been released. The film takes place in the 70s and centers on two brothers as they battle killer waves, a conservative society and ruthless bikers to kick-start the modern surf industry. I don’t know if this can top the masterpiece that is Blue Crush but it certainly looks entertaining enough. Xavier Samuel, Myles Pollard, Sam WorthingtonRobyn Malcolm, Lesley- Ann Brandt, Aaron Glenane, Steve Bastoni, and Maurie Ogden star. Drift opens August 2.
After their mother escapes from Sydney to Margaret River in the 1970′s, the two Kelly brothers spend their youth searching for the perfect wave. Out of necessity the family launch a backyard surf business – re-thinking board design, crafting homemade wetsuits and selling merchandise out of their van. Battling big waves, small town conservatism and criminals, the brothers give rise to a global brand. A story of passion, corruption, friendship and loyalty, deadly addictions and fractured relationships, DRIFT tells a tale of courage and the will to survive at all odds.
