Sam Neill and Olivia Colman Trade Insults In The New Trailer For Dario Russo's Darkly Comic Australian Folktale, The Fox
Madman Entertainment and Causeway Films are thrilled to unveil the official trailer for THE FOX, writer/director Dario Russo's striking debut feature.
A darkly comic folktale blending satire and surrealism, THE FOX stars Jai Courtney, Emily Browning, Damon Herriman, Claudia Doumit, Zlatko Burić, Frankie J. Holden, Heather Mitchell, Peter O'Brien and Kim Gyngell, Sam Neill as The Magpie, with Miranda Otto and Academy Award® winner Olivia Colman as The Fox.
Named one of Variety's 8 Best Films at SXSW Austin, THE FOX also won the Sydney Film Festival GIO Audience Award for Best Australian Feature and the Jury Award for Best Narrative Feature at the Calgary Underground Film Festival. THE FOX was filmed in Adelaide, South Australia with the support of Screen Australia and the South Australian Film Corporation.
THE FOX follows an affable yet hapless bloke who encounters a talking Fox offering him the chance to transform his fiancée into the perfect woman. A cautionary tale disguised as a comedy, the film explores the dangerous desire and temptation to want to change another person rather than confront our own shortcomings.
THE FOX will have its Victorian Premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival on 12 August. Tickets are available here.
Production credit: The Fox is a Causeway Films production. Major production investment from Screen Australia, in association with Orogen Entertainment, A-Up Duck Productions and the South Australian Film Corporation. Financed with support from Flickstar, Kojo Studios and the Adelaide Film Festival Investment Fund. Local distribution by Madman Entertainment. International sales by Protagonist Pictures.
SYNOPSIS: Nick (Jai Courtney), affable heir to a wealthy rural landowner, discovers his fiancée, Kori (Emily Browning), is cheating on him and wants nothing more than to just fix the problem. One night, he captures a rogue Fox (Olivia Colman), and she offers him a trade-off: if Nick lets her live, the Fox will help him save his relationship. All he has to do is push Kori into a magic hole with the power to change her into the perfect partner. Nick follows the Fox's advice and the Kori who re-emerges seems to be everything he ever wanted. Until her strange new quirks make him question his decision.
THE FOX will be released in cinemas on 29 October 2026
