Scorched! The Net Melts Down!
The Nine Network’s Scorched is Australia’s first cross-platform drama project. The upcoming political tele-movie is set in a climate change ravaged Sydney. After 240 days without rain, the city has only two weeks water left. When the city is then ringed by severe bushfires, the question becomes, how do you fight fire when you have no water?
Check out the trailer for the tele-movie below.
While it won’t hit our screens for a few weeks, the drama is already making waves on the web in the form of a collection of webisodes and fictional online news reports. Several websites have been created that are linked to the events of the tele-movie.
Scorched stars Georgie Parker (All Saints, The Falls), Rachael Carpani (McLeod’s Daughers, Cane), Vince Colosimo (Underbelly, The Falls), Cameron Daddo (Pirate Master) and Libby Tanner (headLand). The tele-movie is directed by Tony Tilse (Underbelly). The online webisodes star Kate Bell (Blue Water High) and Zachary Garred (Home and Away).
Scorched premieres 8:30pm Sunday, August 1, on Nine.
