Adventurer, opium smuggler, gambler, street fighter, buccaneer, gold prospector and lover…
The remarkable early life of one of Australia’s most famed sons will captivate moviegoers when Umbrella Entertainment releases the adventure biopic, IN LIKE FLYNN across cinemas nationally on 11 October 2018.
Directed by Russell Mulcahy (Highlander 1 & 2, Resident Evil: Extinction, Teen Wolf) with rising star, Thomas Cocquerel (Kidnapping Mr. Heineken, Billionaire Boys Club, Red Dog: True Blue) in the titular role, IN LIKE FLYNN transports audiences to 1930, before Errol Flynn became a legendary matinee idol of Hollywood’s Golden Age.
Whilst serving as a guide for a Hollywood producer in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, young Flynn discovers a trail that will lead to a fortune in gold. Back in Depression-era Sydney, he recruits a motley group of fellow opportunists with whom he sets sail in a yacht stolen from Chinese opium smugglers. What follows is a mythical and satirical coming-of-age story about four men on a journey to find hope, adventure and fortune at a time when the world was spiralling into despair.
Shot entirely on location in Queensland’s Gold Coast and co-starring Corey Large, William Mosely, Isabel Lucas, David Wenham, with Dan Fogler and Clive Standen, this is the story of a man whose real life exploits were arguably more colourful and outrageous than any he depicted on the silver screen.
