The Rover

The Rover

Ten years have passed since the global economic crisis, and all that remains for Eric is to live bleakly. He is an ex-soldier, whose spirit and body have undergone a good hardening, which no vagabond can break. When his car is stolen by some scum, leaving one of their own to die at the scene of the crime, the man is filled with anger. He has nothing to lose, so taking the abandoned boy, who turned out to be the brother of one of the kidnappers, by the skin, he goes on a hunt for people. Scorching desert, dusty landscapes surround the strange couple, because only Ray can tell Eric where his brother is hiding.

It was announced in May 2012 that Pearce would play for Rovers. Robert Pattinson was specially chosen for the role of partner, who, turning away from the role he created in the "Twilight" saga, was looking for himself in some serious projects. During the casting, Michaud noted that he is not as stupid as people make him out to be, which is why he was even more excited to take on the role. In the early stages of work on the film, the director actively stated that despite some similarities with the story of "Mad Max", his tape will be tougher and more vital. Filming took place in Australia, where the events take place. The main work schedule consisted of 7 weeks, starting at the end of January 2013 and ending in mid-March of the same year. The main work was carried out in the desert of South Australia to saturate the frames with futuristic, almost post-apocalyptic views. It was decided to shoot "Rover" not on digital, but on Super 35 film. As a result, the film became one of the last films in Australia that were shot on film, as the country passed the popularization of numbers and photo labs began to disappear en masse.
