Excitement reached a new level today when Disney CEO Con Offenenuf announced that production had finally commenced on “Welcome to Country The Movie”. The movie is a Docomedic piece on the men behind the movement, Ernie Dingo and Richard Walley.
Con says ” People have drawn comparisons between “Country” and “The Life of Brian”, and look, we did all we could to highlight the differences, but in the end the stories are similar”.
Ernie tells us…”Richard and I had, had a few Sherberts one night while watching “Life of Brian”. We had just done “Welcome to Country” and I said to Richard I reckon White Australia are silly enough to run with this!..he said…wanna bet!!..well, the rest is history!
“Welcome to Country the Movie” will be released early 2025.
