Release date confirmed – September 2
The release date for Tomorrow: When The War Began is set for September 2, 2010.
Released today to Filmink Magazine, producer Michael Boughen and direcetor Stuart Beattie spoke about the film.
In a recent preview screening of footage from the film, producer Michael Boughen said that this film represents a huge step forward for commercial Australian cinema as it is based on a book which has sold nearly two million copies in Australia and New Zealand alone. Boughen said the film’s premise is unique for both a local and international screenplay. “It’s a classic coming of age story, set against an extraordinary war setting. It’s large in scope.”
Adapting this story, which promises to be an action-packed affair, was Stuart Beattie whose screenwriting credits include Australia, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Collateral. Beattie also makes his directorial debut with the film.
“Shooting Tomorrow was by far the toughest experience of my career, but also the most enjoyable… I’ll be forever grateful to John Marsden not only for creating this story but for trusting me to bring it to the screen,” Beattie said.
Being the first in a series of seven books, one cannot help but suspect that Australia may have a commercially viable movie franchise on their hands but Boughen is quick to dispel such a prediction.
“We’re not looking to start a franchise here. We’re in the business of making this book as successful as we can. Any success beyond that is off the basis of this first film,” Boughen said.
Have your say – Respond to this post.
Definitely a date to be placed on my calendar. It goes to show how fast the movie has been created. They started shooting in September last year and it’s being released in the same month. Excitement is building.
Now all we await is the trailer.
So so exciting! I hope it’ll be seen in every cinema in Australia and around the world too.
I hope it’ll be release in the cinemas of Brazil \O
[...] When the War Began will be released September 2, 2010 according to Tomorrow-Movies. Thank you, [...]

OMG! when is it going to come out in the US then?!?!
Does anyone know when it is expected to be released internationally??
Or more specifically NZ?
um i think most of the time nz is about 3-4 weeks behind the aussie movies….but dnt hold me to that!
i cant wait 2 c it
i have been watching the trailor everynight since i’ve heard the trailor has come out!!! i’m jumping out of my skin for september 2nd to come
I cannot wait for this film! I just recently finished reading the series of books and am busy telling everyone at the library where I work about them. These books are on my “favorite reads ” list! Please let us know the US release date ASAP!
195 days and counting
What about New Zealand? will i kinda the same date?
I’d assume so. It is a whole lot bigger in New Zealand because you come in and save Aus.
haha the NZ army isnt as good as in the books bt we do get help frm the usa, New Zealand 4 life!
You’d be amazed at how things change when they’re under pressure. The NZ army could be as good as in the book if the situation was reality.
Yeh well Canada did shit all! Sorry guys lol
(block your ears)SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
LOL SO EXITED
your a douche.
*You’re
And that’s mean.
oh i am really excited for this. not a million words could secribe what i want to say. the only problem is that i dont think everyone should be telling everyone they can, otherwise the series arent going to be anything special. because EVERYONE would love tyhe books. like with the twilight stuff. so its why i dont tell anyone about them because i want them to be something secret and special.
though i dont know how thats gonna work out seeing as its gonna be a movie probly all over the world!!!!!!
anyhoo, its great to be an aussie! go john marsden!!!!
I’VE ALREADY GOT TICKETS BOOKED!!!!!!
I’VE ALREADY GOT TICKETS BOOKED!!!!!!
nah not really haha, cant’t wait though
I am seriously hoping it is released in the US, because it won’t be the same unless I see it in theater.
i will b maye dont worry! its a huge book the movie shud b mean!
seriously i reckon when people (who aren’t following the making of this movie) hear it’s being released, it will be a sellout. i’ve got mates who hate reading but have read this book and are hanging out for the movie!
Has any one else wondere why theres not an official tomorrow movie site?
Well the official movie sites usually come out when the trailer has been released? I’m not entirely sure but I can only imagine it being open when they can have the trailer on it for viewing so they can play the trailer on television then put the link in the end of the ad. Makes sense to me. Again, i’m not sure how these work.
thy shud just mak ths site the official site! its mean and thy hav been here frm the verry begining!
I wonder will happen in Brazil? Why spend my whole class in college go!
Oh my God!!!! I cant wait and either can my freinds who r fans of the books
I hope it will be extremely awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will be the first to get tickets haha
SO very excited, have been looking forward to a movie since….forever but back when I first heard Esben Storm had the rights. I cant believe it finally happening!!! Heres hoping it is so succesfull we get all 7 movies
At last!
Yes, hoping they’ll show it in Sweden!
Hihi, håller med dig!! Hoppas verkligen de visar den i Sverige. Jag mejlade till o med sf, men tyvärr kunde de inte ge ett svar. Så vi får hålla tummarna!
(hihi, antog att du kunde svenska – Swedish Guy^^)
I can’t wait until this comes out, I love the books. September 2nd!! Even my friends that don’t read have read this book. Does anyone know when the trailer will come out?
soon verry soon…
OMG!!! so epic! for once kiwis and ozies have got something that the americans aint! =D SO EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone know when the trailors out? =]
OATH!!!!!!!
when is ther goin 2 b a new update 2 ths site! its been ages!
Yes! That’s what I want to know too. I check this site religiously every morning and a few times during the day too.
Could some more content and photos be put up to tie us over until the trailer comes out?
And after the trailer we are going to need some more tid bits to sustain us all until the movie comes out!
I’m so excited
)
It can only be updated when pictures, articles and what-not are released. It’s not as if they are keeping things from us. They made the site to give TWTWB fans updates on the upcoming movie and would defeat the purpose of the site not to show whatever is released.
Chris i’m just trying to convey my excitement. All that is pretty obvious but I’m sure I’m not the only one who is wishing for more little bits and pieces.
What if there isnt more ‘little bits and pieces’ for them to release to us? It’s about being paitent. And for the record, it wasnt a direct comment to you. It was a general statement.
The general idea here is just to let people become aware of the greater output we are capable of. That is all.
I’m not sure if this will help those who want more pictures, but there is a facebook group that is also following the movie progress and they have loads of pictures on there. They also just put a new movie still up, hope this helps. The group is called Tomorrow, when the war began movie.
I found the facebook group.

Should be SUCH a great movie – but since i’m only i’m only in Year 6, i’m hoping it won’t be over the rating M! Luckily i’m the master of cunning persuasive arguements so i can get mum to let me go into town with my friends and watch it
does anyone know when this is being released in north america!?!?!?!
IM DYING AND IM A CANADIAN.
I WANNA SEE IT SO BAD
Well it might not be released in America – they haven’t got a deal for that yet.
And they dunno if they’re gonna organise one.
So I dunno, but you might have to wait for the DVD.
They’ve made the DVD so we can’t see in Canada… maybe I need to plan a trip to Australia. Please, please release it in Canada!!!
I will be in NZ Nov 18 through Dec 2. Is it showing anywhere in NZ during that time period?
I think its pretty much over in NZ, youd be lucky to see it in that time frame sorry =\
Will it be in Saskatchewan anytime soon!!!?
