Cast

Production

In 2014, a remake of the film was announced, with Matt Murphy — one of Geoff Murphy's sons who had worked on the original version — as director.[1] The same year, a re-enactment of the Lake Hawea chase was filmed to promote the New Mini,[2] which will feature prominently in the remake, simply known as Pork Pie.[3]

Filming of Pork Pie started in March 2016.[4] Dean O'Gorman, James Rolleston and Ashleigh Cummings have been announced to star as Jon (John), Luke (Gerry) and Kiera (Shirl) respectively.[5][6] The film's first trailer was released on 17 October 2016, with the film to be released in cinemas on 2 February 2017.[7]
