Bastard Boys is the story of the fight that stopped the nation—the 1998 battle for Australia's waterfront. More than just a dispute over reform, it became a campaign for the hearts and minds of all Australians. Controversial, all-consuming and combative, it forced people to pick a side and fight for their beliefs. Political thriller, war film, buddy movie, love story and courtroom drama all rolled into one, this is the story of the people behind one of the most significant events in Australia's recent past.

Iconic Australian actors Jack Thompson and Colin Friels lead an outstanding cast that includes: Geoff Morrell, Dan Wyllie, Justine Clarke, Rhys Muldoon and Lucy Bell.

Bastard Boys has been written with the cooperation and participation of all parties to the dispute. It is the first time participants such as former Patrick CEO, Chris Corrigan and ACTU Secretary, Greg Combet have agreed to tell their stories.

Reviews:

There is so much praise to be heaped on Bastard Boys , it’s hard to know where to begin. No, it’s not. Without Sue Smith’s extraordinary script, this unruly, octopusion true story could have been a confusing, boring polemic.
(…)
Smith’s script gives us the overview and the minute detail as well as some of the best big speeches we’ve ever heard on Australian television.
(…)
The world of the wharves, the boardrooms and war rooms are places most of us will never visit or understand. Bastard Boys takes us there, makes sense and great drama all at once. It’s amazing.
Ruth Richie, Sydney Morning Herald

Sue Smith's script [is] ... a reminder of the sheer power of intelligent character-driven drama.

Handsome and disconcertingly aloof, John Forbes Nash made a brilliant mathematical discovery early in his career and stood on the brink of international acclaim. But his white-hot ascent into the intellectual stratosphere drastically changed course when Nash’s intuitive brilliance was undermined by schizophrenia.

A living legend, Nash continues to pursue his work today.

The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards in 2002, winning four, including the Oscar for Best Screenplay based on material previously produced or published.

The screenplay of the Academy Award-winning film starring Philip Seymour Hoffman as Truman Capote on his six-year investigation of a cold-blooded killer.

It’s 1959, and the celebrated author of Breakfast at Tiffany’s is desperate for a new subject. Deep in rural Kansas a family of four is brutally murdered. In an unlikely conjunction, the flamboyant, homosexual Capote sets out to investigate the case. The result was a gripping book about humanity’s capacity for evil, In Cold Blood. But what are Capote’s own motives as he waits impatiently for the death sentence to be carried out so that he can finish his masterpiece?

‘I’ve rarely seen a film so perfectly crafted ... Capote is a masterclass’ Times

‘a sober and compelling anatomy of professional ethics that deserves the plaudits it has received ... a cause for joy’ Telegraph

In addition to the full screenplay, this volume contains: a Foreword by Gerald Clarke, author of the biography Capote, and an excerpt from the book; Q&As with writer Dan Futterman and director Bennett Miller; Background notes on Capote and In Cold Blood; 8 pages of colour stills; Cast and crew credits.
