Stephan Elliott is directing the 1970s-set feature.
Australian director Stephan Elliott’s 1970s-set comedy Flammable Children will begin principal photography on Australia’s Gold Coast on Oct 17.
Set against the backdrop of a typical Australian beachside neighbourhood in the height of the 70s, the ensemble comedy takes a nostalgic look at an era of “careless parenting, constant sunburn and unsupervised activities”.
The film reunites Elliott with producer Al Clark of Wildheart Films, actor Guy Pearce and many of the crew on his 1994 breakout hit The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert.
Clark is producing with Jamie Hilton of See Pictures
Other members of the ensemble cast include Kylie Minogue, Radha Mitchell, Asher Keddie, Julian McHacon and Jeremy Sims.
Newcomers in the roles of the main teenagers include Atticus Robb and Darcey Wilson (The Dressmaker).

[Ben's review of The Square originally appeared a couple weeks ago but with the film now screening at Action Fest we hereby present it again.]
While giving a great big bear hug to classic noir and thriller tropes, Nash Edgerton's The Square also manages to snag a pair of jumper cables and give the genres a frightfully good shock to the balls. Mr. "Ain't It Cool" himself, Harry Knowles supplied a nice pull quote, calling the picture, "the best film noir since 'Body Heat'", and while I can't really contrast and compare, Edgerton's flick is a nice thick slice of entertainment, with a healthy helping of karma and irony on the side.
Extramarital affairs are the name of the game as contractor, Ray (David Roberts) and the much younger hair dresser Carla (Claire van der Boom) meet under bridges and hotel rooms - the typical spots when you want time away from your spouse. Ray has a plan, and that plan involves a nice kick back from his latest build site - a fancy honeymoon resort -,...
