Notes

THE MERGER Kate Mulvany and John Howard have joined the cast of The Merger, a comedy/drama which will star Damian Callinan. Callinan has written the script based on his one-man show about a country football coach who hatches an unorthodox plan to rebuild the local football team by recruiting recently-settled asylum seekers. Mulvany will play the mother of Neil, an inquisitive, mischievous nine-year-old who is mourning the death of his father. Howard will portray the cantankerous former boss of the long-closed local steelworks who resents the presence of the asylum seekers. Callinan is Troy Carrington, a former professional football player who returns to his country town after an abrupt end to his sporting career and is persuaded to coach the hapless local footy team, the Roosters. Shooting is due to start in Wagga Wagga in October, produced by Anne Robinson and directed by Mark Grentell, the team behind the 2013 sleeper comedy Backyard Ashes.
