THE HUNTER: Australian psychological drama stars Willem Dafoe, Sam Neill opens4/27@Shattuck-Berk April 27, 2012

From the producers of the Academy Award-nominated independent hit Animal Kingdom comes THE HUNTER, a gorgeously photographed, taut psychological drama about the human condition, the choices we make and the implications they have. Willem Dafoe stars as Martin, a skilled and ruthless mercenary sent into the rugged, mysterious Tasmanian wilderness on a hunt for a tiger believed to be extinct. Hired by an anonymous company that wants the tiger's genetic material, Martin arrives in Tasmania posing as a scientist. He proceeds to set up base camp at a broken-down farmhouse, where he stays with a family whose father has gone missing. Usually a loner, Martin becomes increasingly close to the family; however, as his attachment to the family grows, Martin is led down a path of unforeseen dangers, complicating his deadly mission. Sam Neill and Frances O'Connor co-star. Written by Alice Addison and directed by Daniel Nettheim, based on the bestselling novel by author/filmmaker Julia Leigh.
