NEW CHARACTER POSTERS
And here's something coming all the way from Down Under: first character posters and trailer for new historical television series GALLIPOLI which started airing a few weeks ago its seven episodes on the Australian Nine Network marking the 100th anniversary of the GALLIPOLI Campaign. The series is adapted from the best-selling book 'Gallipoli' by Les Carlyon.
THE LEGEND OF ANZAC
The series centres on 17-year-old Thomas "Tolly" Johnson (Kodi Smit McPhee) who puts his age up so he can enlist with his brother Bevan (Harry Greenwood) and ends up fighting at GALLIPOLI in the
campaign that helped create the Anzac legend.
The story depicts the ten month campaign in Turkey, highlighting the
landing on 25 April 1915 by ANZAC troops who go into battle on the GALLIPOLI Peninsula.
Landing in the dark, Tolly, Bevan and their fellow soldiers endeavour
to establish a defensible foothold beneath the treacherous slopes of the
peninsula. The series follows both the battle and its aftermath.
The soldiers spend eight months learning combat skills while trying to
survive in the most difficult of circumstances. By the time of their
final evacuation they have learnt much about themselves and their mates.
James Callis and Grant Bowler also star.
