‘Hunt For The Wilderpeople’ Trailer: A Hilarious Manhunt Through The Woods Of New Zealand
After premiering at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, the adventure comedyHunt for the Wilderpeopleis coming to theaters this summer. The film hails fromWhat We Do in the ShadowsdirectorTaika Waititi, and since the vampire mockumentary was one of/Film’s collective favorite films of 2015, it should come as no surprise that those of us who sawHunt for the Wilderpeopleat Sundance absolutely love it. And those who haven’t seen it yet, can’t wait to check it out.
A newHunt for the Wilderpeopletrailer has just debuted, and it shows off just enough of the hilarious manhunt that takesSam Neilland breakthrough child actorJulian Dennisonthrough the woods of New Zealand. This is an indie you simply must seek out this summer.
Here’s the newHunt for the Wilderpeopletrailer from The Orchard:
Based on Barry Crump’s bookWild Pork and Watercressand adapted for the screen by Waititi himself, the movie is best desribed asTropic ThundermeetsUp. Sam Neill and Julian Dennison make for a fantastic, unlikely duo. Neill’s gruff, grumpy side clashes funnily with Dennison’s adorable hip-hop attitude, but beyond that even the journey itself brings endless laughs.
The social worker in pursuit of Ricky is played perfectly byRachel House, and the chase that ensues is simultaneously funny and also a promising glimpse at what kind of action Waititi will bring us inThor: Ragnarok. In addition, this trailer shows just a tease ofRhys Darby’s cameo as a character aptly named Psycho Sam and also a quick cameo from Taika Waititi himself.
