Description
[Machine Translation] They hunted him down, starved him, imprisoned him, whipped him, branded him, beat him, and shot him, but they could not bring him to his knees. The first film produced by Jeremy Thomas ("The Last Emperor"), starring Dennis Hopper, who had been sidelined by Hollywood, and directed by Philip Mora, is suddenly being released on disc for the first time in Japan! The film adaptation of Margaret Carnegie's "Morgan: The Bold Bushranger," the story of Daniel Morgan, an Irish outlaw wanted dead or alive in Australia in the 1850s. This is the first film produced by Jeremy Thomas, a major producer whose later hits and important films include Merry Christmas on the Battlefield ('83), The Last Emperor ('87), Sheltering Sky ('90), The Naked Lunch ('91) and The Barefoot 1500 Miles ('02). Director Philip Mora, who made his feature debut with "Trouble in Molopolis" ('70), produced by Eric Clapton, who was his roommate in London, and Jeremy Thomas flew to Taos, New Mexico, USA, for the casting and were met at the airport in full denim and a rifle. They decided on Dennis Hopper for the lead role the moment they saw him at the airport, dressed in denim and carrying a rifle. Dennis Hopper was in the midst of his Hollywood hiatus due to the chaotic and disastrous "The Last Movie" ('71), which he directed himself. The film co-stars Jack Thompson ("Staggered Foot in the Wilderness", 71), David Gulpililil ("Beautiful Journey", 71), Frank Sling ("Mad Max: Thunderdome", 85), and Bill Hunter ("Sky High", 75), and is backed by a strong Australian film crew. Jeremy Thomas said he did not remember how the film was completed, probably because it was his first time. -Australia in the 1850s.
