Storm Boy remake planned 40 years after original award-winning film

Four decades after the Australian movie Storm Boy premiered in Adelaide and led what was later considered by many to have been a renaissance for the nation's film industry, a remake is in the planning.

Adapted from Colin Thiele's 1964 novel, it told the story of a young boy and a pelican living in the Coorong region at the Murray mouth.

The film set a new standard for South Australian production and won best film at the Australian Film Industry Awards.

"The success of the film comes from its innocence," curator at the National Film and Sound Archive, Gayle Lake, said.
