The film, which received production funding approval from Screen Australia last December, will be directed by Daina Reid (City Homicide) and produced by Laura Waters and Yael Bergman (Summer Heights High). Helliar, who also wrote the screenplay, said making the jump from TV to features had been his ultimate goal.
“This is really what I want to do. It’s really pure. With other stuff like writing for weekly TV, it feels a bit like a production line,” he said. “We’ve had time to cultivate it and really get it right.”

I Love You Too has an estimated budget of about $5 million. Helliar conceived the film almost 10 years ago and pitched it to Waters when they worked on the pilot for Rove.

The cast includes award-winning actor Brendan Cowell (Love My Way, Noise) as Jim, a commitment-phobic who tries to win back the woman he loves, with Helliar as his best mate, Blake.

They are joined by Yvonne Strahovski, the Australian star of the hit US drama series Chuck, American actor Peter Dinklage (The Station Agent, Elf), former McLeod’s Daughters star Bridie Carter, Travis McMahon (Kokoda, Good Guys Bad Guys) and Steve Bisley (Water Rats, Sea Patrol).

Helliar said the film blended romantic comedy with deeper sentiments. “I think it’s going to surprise people. We wouldn’t have got the cast we got if it was just a silly comedy,” he said.

And to you, the visitors, I want to wish a Happy New Year filled love, happiness, health, joy, money… All the good things you want. Do all you can to live your life to the fullest and keep on dreaming. Go for what you believe in.

Thank you for visiting my site this year.

Happy New Year!

He wreaked havoc playing a blood-curdling murderer in Wolf Creek and recently wrapped another thriller in which he plays a psycho killer. Now Aussie actor and producer John Jarratt is plotting his next thriller and looking for backyard actors to star.

Jarratt will soon begin filming Crossing The Line in and around Brisbane and the Gold Coast, with a local cast to keep many in the Australian industry in employment.

The latest in his signature suspense films, Jarratt has made the unconventional choice of two of Aussie TV’s sweethearts in decidedly dark leading roles.

Former McLeod’s Daughters co-stars Brett Tucker and Bridie Carter will reunite with Jarratt, who guest starred in the series, to star opposite each other in the film.

Tucker will play a sinister character intent on having his enemies, played by Jarratt and Carter, murder each other.

“It will be very dark and shadowy – it will be terrific,” Jarratt cackled.

His most recent film Savages Crossing, starring Craig McLachlan and Sacha Horler, was also shot in Queensland, although plagued by wet weather.

“It rained a lot of the time. Most of the time actually,” Jarratt told Confidential. “So the actors and the crew spent the majority of the shoot soaking wet, which was tough but there was a real positive energy to get the thing finished and we got through it.”

Jarratt has created his own luck on the big screen, after being overlooked by Quentin Tarantino for a part he promised him in one of his movies.
