Exclusive: Transcendence outfit Straight Up Films has been joined by author Tony Robbins and screenwriter Angela Workman (The Zookeeper’s Wife) on feature project Man’s Search For Meaning about the experience of Holocaust survivor, psychiatrist and author Viktor Frankl.
Frankl’s grandson Alexander Vesely is also aboard for the film, which is being produced under Straight Up’s recently launched social impact banner Straight Up Impact.

‘True History of the Kelly Gang.’
People who are keen to see Justin Kurzel’s True History of the Kelly Gang in cinemas won’t have many options – and they’ll have to be quick.
Transmission Films is launching the subversive bushranger saga on January 9, just 17 days before it premieres on Stan as a Stan Original.
Thus far the Shaun Grant-scripted drama starring George MacKay, Russell Crowe, Essie Davis, Nicholas Hoult and Charlie Hunnam has been booked by the Eddie Tamir family-owned Randwick Ritz Cinemas and Melbourne’s Lido, Classic and Cameo cinemas, plus the Backlot in Perth and Dendy locations except Opera Quays.
It appear most of the other cinemas which screened the Netflix productions The King, The Irishman, Marriage Story and The Two Popes, despite the three-week window before the streaming premieres, have declined to show Kurzel’s film.
The major chains are fiercely protecting the traditional...

George MacKay in ‘True History of the Kelly Gang.’
Justin Kurzel’s True History of the Kelly Gang will open in Australian cinemas on January 9, just 18 days before its Australia Day premiere on Stan.
The short window and limited theatrical release were virtually inevitable after Stan announced the bushranger epic starring George MacKay, Russell Crowe, Nicholas Hoult and Essie Davis would premiere in summer as a Stan Original.
The major chains are determined to protect the traditional 90 day window and will not screen the film so distributor Transmission Films this week will start booking the title at the independent cinemas that are screening the Netflix productions The King, The Irishman, Marriage Story and The Two Popes and Amazon Studios’ The Report and Brittany Runs a Marathon.
The Netflix titles are screening at the Eddie Tamir family-owned Randwick Ritz Cinemas and Melbourne’s Lido, Classic and Cameo cinemas plus Mel Gibson...

Eddie Tamir.
Unlike the major chains, the Eddie Tamir family-owned cinemas are screening The King, The Irishman, Marriage Story and The Two Popes three weeks before each title’s Netflix premiere.
However the proprietor of Randwick’s Ritz Cinemas and Melbourne’s Lido, Classic and Cameo cinemas insists he supports the traditional theatrical window of 90 days.
“It’s a complex and fine balance,” Tamir tells If. “We have a major investment as we own the freehold of our properties and we’re in it for the long haul. As long a window as possible is obviously better for cinema. At the same time, we want to give our customers the best films in the world that are on offer.
“This discussion seems to miss the critical point that film is an art as well as being entertainment. It is made with the intent to be appreciated in a cinema with an audience and no mobiles,...
