Stan Australia has revealed that THE SECOND, a Screen Queensland and Stan Original Feature Film will premiere in cinemas nationwide on July 5 and on Stan from July 20, where it will stream exclusively alongside the theatrical release. You can check out the launch trailer below.
We first heard word of this “sexy thriller” back when it was announced as Stan Australia’s first original movie. Directed by Mairi Cameron, and written by Stephen Lance, it’s about two female friends whose lives entwine in the pages of an elusive second novel. It stars Rachael Blake, Susie Porter, Vince Colosimo, Martin Sacks and Susan Prior.
