THE NOTHING MEN gets poster, release
It's been a while since I saw an early cut of this film -- at the Dungog Film Festival in 2008 -- and The Nothing Men is finally recut and shined up to screen in Australian cinemas in August.

Best described as a cross between the working class world of Mike Leigh and the brooding, claustrophobic man's world of David Mamet, The Nothing Men is the debut feature of Mark Fitzpatrick.

Here's the synposis: 

As a hardened crew of factory workers struggle to see out the last two weeks before their redundancy windfalls, panic runs through the ranks with the arrival of a mysterious man sent to join them. Suddenly fearful that their drinking and gambling will be exposed by the head-office "spy" and rob them of their money, top dog Jack (Colin Friels) and the men descend into a compelling world of antagonism and brutality. 

The intrigue and anxious second-guessing is only enhanced when the pacifist of the group, Wesley (Martin Dingle Wall), befriends the seemingly normal outsider, David (David Field). When Wesley discovers David is hiding a much darker secret, however, the seeds are planted for an explosive finale that seals the fate of The Nothing Men.

The film is set for release on August 12, at Hoyts EQ at Fox Studios and Hoyts Broadway in Sydney, and Kino Palace Cinemas in Melbourne.
