The horror franchise 'Wolf Creek' is set to return with a third instalment, titled 'Wolf Creek: Legacy'. John Jarratt will reprise his role as the Outback serial killer Mick Taylor, with creator Greg McLean producing. The project is being launched ahead of the Toronto International Film Festival market.
The plot follows a family of American tourists who inadvertently wander into Taylor's hunting grounds. When the parents sacrifice themselves to save their children, the youngsters are left alone and hunted in the vast Australian wilderness. The film will explore the psychological terror of being pursued by a seasoned predator.
Sean Lahiff, who served as editor on 'Wolf Creek 2', takes the director's chair. A script has been written by Duncan Samarasinghe. Production is scheduled to begin in Australia during the first quarter of 2025.
Jay Ryan ('It Chapter Two') joins the cast. Casting directors Angela and Louise Heesom are seeking young actors for the lead roles. The crew includes make-up effects artist Larry Van Duynhoven and visual effects supervisor Marty Pepper. Resident Evil producer Jeremy Bolt is also on board as a producer.
