Westerns always have a welcome, distinctive flavor when they emerge from Australia, and The Legend of Ben Hall looks to be no exception, at least judging from our exclusive clip. Ben Hall has been on the run, and in the clip he arrives to reclaim his young son from the boy's mother. It's a situation that's filled with tension and anger, yet also one that's uncomfortably understandable for anyone who's suffered estrangement from a formerly beloved partner. Here is the official synopsis: After two years on the run, bushranger Ben Hall considers surrendering to the law when his old friend John Gilbert entices him back into the game. Taking on fresh recruit John Dunn, the gang rides again, and before long they become the most...

Whatever extraordinary qualities made the outlaw Ben Hall a legend, they’re nowhere to be found in Matthew Holmes’ overlong feature. The writer-director’s attention to period detail and the historical record is for naught in his biographical drama of one of Australia’s most notorious “bushrangers” — the 19th-century highwaymen who plundered their way across the British colony.
The Legend of Ben Hall follows the daring thief’s last months, during the 1860s gold-rush era in New South Wales. With a huge price on his head, Hall (Jack Martin, blankly dogged and stoic) sets out to raise — i.e., steal — enough money...

Melbourne-based filmmaker Matthew Holmes is in the throes of post-production on his latest film, the handsomely mounted bushranger tale The Legend of Ben Hall. It.s been a long time coming.
.I went straight out of high school into a job at an animation company called Anifex in Adelaide, and I was there for quite a number of years as an animator and a sculptor., Holmes told If.
During that time, the filmmaker made his first feature, 2007.s Twin Rivers, over the course of six years.
Twin Rivers was about two brothers travelling by foot across Australia at the tail-end of the 1930.s.

Above: a theater advertising Billy Wilder’s Ace in the Hole (1951).If there’s one thing I love almost as much as movie posters (at least as far as the world of movie advertising goes) it is the movie theater marquee. I am particularly attracted to marquees in their more elaborately designed and outlandish incarnations, but I am also fond of photographs of marquees simply as a record of a moment in time when a particular film was out in the world. (One of my personal favorite Movie Poster of the Week posts was this examination of a 1930 photo of Times Square theater signs.)Over the past few years on Tumblr I have been collecting some of the best images of movie theater signage through the ages and today I am launching Movie Poster of the Day’s sister blog Movie Marquees.

Jack Martin as Ben Hall.
.
When writer-director Matthew Holmes raised $78,000 on Kickstarter last year to fund a short film on Ben Hall, his ultimate aim was to use the short as a stepping stone to a feature about the notorious bushranger and his gang.
Holmes is getting his wish as The Legend of Ben Hall is due to start principal photography in regional Victoria on March 23.
Wolf Creek creator Greg Mclean has joined the project as executive producer and mentor to Holmes, whose debut feature Twin Rivers, which he self-financed and produced over six years, told of two brothers (played by Matthew and his brother Darren) who set off on an 800 km trek across South-Eastern Australia in 1939.
Most of the cast and crew of the Ben Hall short will work in the feature, led by newcomer Jack Martin as Hall, who led the most notorious bushranger gang in Australia's history...

A Michigan officer who pulled over a vehicle because a 5-year-old girl wasn't secured in a booster seat decided a ticket wouldn't cut it. Instead, Emmett Township public safety officer Ben Hall bought her a seat. "A ticket doesn't solve the situation," Hall told Wxmi-tv. "What solves it is the child being in the booster seat like she should be. It was the easiest 50 bucks I ever spent." Hall was on patrol Friday in the southern Michigan community when he pulled over the vehicle after someone reported that it had an unsecured young child inside.
