Binge has released the first official trailer for How to Make Gravy, the upcoming film based on Paul Kelly’s iconic Christmas song.

The trailer sets up the basis for the 90s song, with a family having just lost a member when Joe is imprisoned. The song from Paul Kelly is told from the perspective of Joe, who is in prison, writing a letter back to his brother Dan.

Play

The cast includes Daniel Henshall (Snowtown, Mystery Road: Origin) as Joe, his brother Dan is played by Brenton Thwaites (Pirates of the Caribbean, Gods of Egypt, Titans); Joe’s sister Stella played by Kate Mulvany (The Twelve, Hunters, Lambs of God) and Damon Herriman (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Mr Inbetween, The Bikeriders) as Stella’s husband Roger. And making her English-language film debut is the French actress Agathe Rousselle (Titane). Hugo Weaving  (Love Me, The Lord of the Rings, The Matrix) will also be playing a new character, not part of the song, but as a prisoner who helps Joe when he’s locked up.

How to Make Gravy is directed by Nick Waterman and adapted by Waterman and Meg Washington, who also provided original songs for the film. The film will debut on Binge on December 1.
