OCCUPATION: RAINFALL, one of Australia’s biggest ever sci-fi films has today
been released ahead of the film’s World Premiere screenings at Monster Fest 2020 on Friday 30
October in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Australian distributor Monster Pictures will host
the World Premiere screenings with key cast and crew in attendance.
Filmmaker Luke Sparke‘s highly anticipated follow-up to the 2018 sci-fi blockbuster stars a topline
cast of international and Australian stars and features effects by the same Australian teams and
artists that were a part of Thor: Ragnarok, I am Mother and Spider-Man: Homecoming. OCCUPATION: RAINFALL stars Ken Jeong (Crazy Rich Asians, The Hangover Trilogy), Jason Isaacs
(Harry Potter), Daniel Gillies (The Originals, Vampire Diaries), Dan Ewing (Love and Monsters),
Dena Kaplan (Dance Academy), Temuera Morrison (Aquaman), Mark Coles Smith (Last Cab To
Darwin), Jet Tranter (Thor Ragnarok), Lawrence Makoare (The Lord Of The Rings), David Roberts
(The Matrix 2 & 3), Vince Colosimo (Chopper), Zac Garred (General Hospital ) and Trystan Go (The
Family Law).
Director Luke Sparke: “It’s so rewarding after 2 years of work to finally show this teaser trailer for
Occupation: Rainfall. We’re aiming for Australia’s own action franchise here, equal parts sci/fi and
adventure. I don’t think some of what we are doing has ever been attempted in an Australian film
before and I can’t wait for the lucky viewers attending the World Premiere screenings at Monster
Fest to experience it all first before the full release!”
OCCUPATION: RAINFALL picks up two years into the intergalactic invasion of earth with survivors
in Sydney, Australia fighting back in a desperate ground war. As casualties mount by the day, the
resistance and their unexpected allies uncover a plot that could see the war come to a decisive
end. With the Alien invaders hell-bent on making earth their new home, the race is on to save
mankind.
Filmed entirely in the Gold Coast, OCCUPATION: RAINFALL is produced by mother and daughter
duo Carly & Carmel Imrie (Occupation, Red Billabong) and co-executive producer, Todd
Williams (The Nun, Alex and Me).
Monster Pictures are distributors across Australia and New Zealand. Film Mode Entertainment has
sales rights outside Australia and New Zealand. OCCUPATION: RAINFALL’s Australian release
details to be announced soon. Stay tuned for updates!
