“It’s a great privilege to bring Paul Kelly’s iconic song to the screen,” she began.
“I’ve listened to the song for decades, often on my own Christmas road trip, conjuring up the characters, wondering if Stella made her flight and if the brothers made it down from Queensland. Come 2024, at last we’ll know!
“And with an all-star cast, and such talented creatives in Nick and Meg and our production partners at Warner Bros, we can’t wait to share it with Australia, in what we hope will become a beloved addition to Gravy Day, for many years to come.”
The song ‘How to Make Gravy,’ was released in 1996 and instantly became a Christmas tradition for millions of families across Australia.
Song to movie is no ordinary concept, meaning the crew must be extraordinary! How to Make Gravy was adapted by award-winning musician Meg Washington and Nick Waterman who is also the director.
Hamish Lewis and Academy Award-nominated producer Schulyer Weiss will also produce the Binge original feature film which was in production on the Gold Coast, Queensland.
How to Make Gravy will be released on Binge in Australia on December 1, 2024.
