Production[edit]
Development[edit]
In March 2017, it was announced that Bruce Beresford would direct The Women in Black, which is based on a 1993 novel by Madeleine St John.[1]
Author St John had attended the University of Sydney alongside Beresford, who remarked: “I’ve been obsessed with making a film of Madeleine St John’s The Women in Black since I first read the novel about 15 years ago... I was attracted by Madeleine’s wit, her light touch, her deft characterisations and her portrayal of a Sydney I knew so well — the Sydney of the 1950s and ‘60s.”[1]
Beresford co-wrote the screenplay with Sue Milliken on and off over the course of twenty years.[2] Milliken and producer Allanah Zitserman sent the completed script to Screen Australia and Screen NSW, who provided funding to get the project off the ground.[3]
Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions secured distribution rights, and set a release date in Australia and New Zealand for September 20, 2018.[4]
Filming[edit]
Principal photography began in October 2017 in Sydney and the Blue Mountains.[5]
Release[edit]
Ladies in Black is scheduled to be released in Australia and New Zealand by Sony Pictures on September 20, 2018.
