Netflix action film Interceptor starring Elsa Pataky was filmed in Sydney and is directed and written by Aussies Matthew Reilly and co-written with Stuart Beattie.

The cast also includes Luke Bracey, Aaron Glenane, Mayen Mehta, Rhys Muldoon, Belinda Jombwe, Marcus Johnson, Colin Friels, Zoe Carides.

The tough and reality-bruised Captain JJ Collins (Elsa Pataky) finds herself in charge of a lone nuclear missile interceptor base in the middle of the Pacific Ocean after she is wrongfully drummed out of her dream job at the Pentagon. When a simultaneous coordinated attack then threatens the base itself, Collins comes face-to-face with the charismatic yet crooked Alexander Kessel (Luke Bracey), a former US military intelligence officer intent on carrying out an unthinkable plan. With only minutes on the clock, Collins must utilize her years of tactical training and military expertise to determine who she can trust and stop Kessel and his covert mercenaries from completing their twisted and terrible mission.

Producers | Michael Boughen, Matthew Street, Stuart Beattie
Executive Producers | Chris Hemsworth, Christopher Mapp, Robert Slaviero, Kathy Morgan, Peter Graves

Friday June 3 on Netflix (select cinemas May 26).

  1. It does look kind of interesting, and sorry I have not read Matthew Reilly books, but if the experience of Cowboy Bebop is any indication of what could be in prospect, Netflix may have a finger poised over that cancel button, hopefully if Matthew Reilly’s directing debut is any good Netflix will give it a chance. Those who are curious should check out the ABC’s Inside Story video, that examines chosen bits of Matthew’s personal life, his creative drive as a prolific author, and the challenging process of learning how to direct his own creative vision for this coming Netflix series.
