Check out the new trailer from Animal Kingdom's David Michod about what happens in the Australian outback when society collapses.
We have all seen post-apocalyptic nightmares unleashed upon both the big budget and indie realm of film. However, we have never before seen David Michôd’s take on the existential subgenre before. Along with Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson as his stars, the Australian Animal Kingdom director and writer of Hesher paints an Outback from a time after civilization has also gone to the wind.
Released by A24, The Roveris set 10 years following the collapse of society when a man will go to any lengths to take back the thing that still matters to him. Sparse and mysterious, this film is engulfed by the arid Australian desert when Eric (Pearce) has his last sole possession stolen by a roaming gang of post-apocalyptic thugs. Teaming with the gang’s weakest and abandoned member, Rey (Pattinson), Eric sets out to steal it back.

Robert's acting here looks the same in Bel Ami which means really bad.
