Sort of thing that might affect book production runs? Reilly wrote his first novel, Contest, at 19 while studying law at university. How he came to be represented by Pan MacMillan after putting out that novel himself is now the stuff of publishing legend. Kessel takes the camera over to Shah, dismissing that while Shah cares for America, Hindus like him are subjected to additional screenings and other persecutions. Though he is invited to share such experiences, Shah instead insults Kessel, and Baker punches him unconscious as retribution. Kessel turns to Collins and reveals her story to the watching Americans, deriding the treatment she had received and praising Collins' integrity in spite of that and his financial offer, while also revealing that the photo was actually for a women's soccer team's charity calendar. As Collins answers Kessel's question of what position she played (goalkeeper), she continues speaking to reveal that a common injury is a dislocated thumb; dislocating her thumbs now, Collins is able to slip out of her restraints. Royal Enfield ‘250 Clipper’, ‘Crusader 250’, ‘Crusader Sports’, ‘Crusader Super 5’, ‘Continental’, ‘350 Bullet’&‘250 Trials’ Paul Byrnes of The Sydney Morning Herald gave the film three-and-a-half stars out of five and wrote, "Parts of it are laughably silly, but that's intentional. It's not quite a satire, having some Serious Things to say, but mostly it's a romp." [16] Nicolas Rapold of The New York Times stated that it "is clunky and barely coherent anytime there's not a fight scene." [17] Benjamin Lee of The Guardian gave the film three stars out of five and called it "absurd yet entertaining." [18] Accolades [ edit ] YearVlessing, Etan (March 4, 2021).

Announced on March 04, 2021, Interceptor is a Netflix original film, and will be directed by Matthew Reilly in his directorial debut. Reilly and Stuart Beattie wrote the screenplay together, with Beattie also serving as one of the film's producers, alongside Matthew Street and Michael Boughen. Executive producers include Chris Hemsworth, Kathy Morgan, Christopher Mapp, Robert Slaviero and Peter D. Graves.

Bracey has nothing but praise for his director. "Matthew is one of the kindest, sweetest, most excited and interested persons that I've ever met. So that really filters down through everyone. And he has this calmness to him, which you wouldn't really expect from someone who's helming a big production for the first time." The couple needed to create new memories and Reilly was impatient to pursue his lifelong dream of directing movies. So at the start of 2015, Reilly and Freeman moved to Los Angeles. In Alaska, the U.S. nuclear missile interceptor base at Fort Greely is assaulted by some of its own staff, who destroy their transmitters to prevent the base for calling for help, execute the other soldiers and destroy the controls for the interceptor missiles. A short time later, as Shah and Collins confirm that there are no survivors among SBX-1's staff via the base's cameras, Kessel pings the intercom and displays the provocative photo of Collins. She retorts that he's not the first to throw that in her face, and points out that while he may have spent years planning for every outcome in his operation, he couldn't plan for her since she was only reassigned to SBX-1 the previous night. Kessel concedes that she might have been unexpected, but she is not unbeatable. It was there that it caught the eye of Cate Patterson, then a commissioning editor at Pan Macmillan Australia, which had previously rejected the novel.

On April 13, various sources released promotional images from the film and reported that it would be released on June 3rd. [6] The same day, as broadwayworld.com released the same images, they also revealed a new synopsis for the film, which included the name of Luke Bracey's character, Alexander Kessel. In addition, Aaron Glenane, Mayen Mehta, Rhys Muldoon, Belinda Jombwe, Marcus Johnson, Colin Friels and Zoe Carides were confirmed in the report to also be a part of Interceptor's cast. [7] While none of Reilly's works have yet been adapted for film or television (as of 2022), Interceptor marks Reilly's directorial debut. On August 26th, within the comments of Facebook post noting the upcoming Netflix TUDUM showcase, a global fan event showcasing its content the following September, an event that would include Interceptor, Reilly answered a fan's question about the film's release date, saying that Interceptor would be released some time in the first quarter of 2022. [4] Shortly after the TUDUM showcase, Reilly released two promotional images from the film, and also revealed Pataky's role as Captain JJ Collins. Netflix’s Interceptor will be led by Spanish actress and model Elsa Pataky, who is best known for her role as Elena in the Fast & Furious franchise. In Interceptor, Pataky will play JJ Collins, an army lieutenant who must utilize her years of tactical training and military expertise to save humanity as we know it.As she crudely tends to her arm, Collins receives a call from the White House; while Collins cannot disable the EBS, Dyson assures her that the SEALs are 50 minutes out, and that they have pulled Kessel's file. A former intelligence operative in the U.S. Army focusing first on Russian intelligence and later serving as a psychological operations and torture specialist, Kessel was discharged when he killed two prisoners during an enhanced interrogation. Shah regains consciousness, and Collins gives him a short summary of their situation as she removes his restraints before sitting down to rest. Fans of Reilly's novels have largely responded to Interceptor more positively; many have enjoyed the similar style of storytelling to Reilly's books and were supportive of Reilly's first foray into film-making. The film saw a limited theatrical release in select cinemas across Australia a week before the Netflix streaming release on May 26th, with Reilly and Pataky both present at a premiere event with other cast and crew members. [9] The film made it proper international release via Netflix on June 3rd as planned. While Reilly was on a book tour, his wife Natalie took her own life after battling anorexia and depression. Reilly was shattered. He became lost in his grief and was unable to write.
