UPDATE: Read Our Runs Interview Here.
[Editor's Note: Patrick Green and I tried very hard to get more information on "I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer" but the creators of the film are very busy finishing it. We will keep you updated as we get new information.]
Let’s see, what’s a good lead-in for a write-up about an Australian horror comedy centered around the stuffy sport of cricket? Lacking the gift of clever quips and puns, I’ll simply start with a quick synopsis: An unhinged cricket player avenges himself upon the teammates who plagued and tormented him years before.
“I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer” is the first feature effort for Media 42, the production entity founded by co-directors Stacey Edmonds and Doug Turner, who also wrote the script and handled DP chores. The duo has hopes for a successful festival run next year before going theatrical.
Interestingly, the bulk of shooting took place in Joadja, New South Wales, near the site of the ‘Backpacker Murders’ which were claimed to be the inspiration for Greg McLean’s “Wolf Creek”.
“Runs” features a fair share of gory murder set pieces, involving various pieces of cricket gear modified and fitted with sharp implements.
While the cast, which includes Edmonds and Turner, is not well-known to American audiences, it is nonetheless brimming with veterans of the Aussie film scene. Oh, and some of ‘em get naked.
“Runs” also looks to have a rockin’ soundtrack, featuring tunage from Australian metalheads Mortal Sin and Hell City Glamors.
