“And it involves sheep!” Neill adds about the parallels with his own life in New Zealand, having moved from a home nearer the tourist hub of Queenstown to a house built at Red Bank Farm and Vineyard, also known as Two Paddocks HQ. It’s just what I needed coming out of a bleak time.’ The feedback I’ve received is, ‘I’ve been in lockdown for months and this is a film about real people and real things that made me feel better. It’s about humanity and it’s funny, but sweet and sad. “‘Rams’ looks like a knockabout comedy about daggy Australians, but it’s more complex.
“I’ve been watching Academy movie screeners and almost everything’s depressing,” Neill says. Made by Australian production company WBMC and directed by Jeremy Sims, “Rams” follows neighboring sheep-farmer brothers whose decades-long feud reaches boiling point when disease threatens their flocks. He stars alongside Australian icon Michael Caton in the film, which was adapted from the award-winning 2015 Icelandic movie by Grímur Hákonarson. The struggles of 2020 are why Neill, who returned to New Zealand and his web-famous farm animals in November, believes “Rams” couldn’t arrive at a better time. “So many people haven’t had a sniff of a job for over a year and I can imagine how frightfully depressing that is and how much anxiety it must induce.” “I never felt less than privileged to be in work last year,” Neill adds.

Neill’s lockdown life Down Under garnered global interest thanks to social media posts, in which he performed with his ukulele, shared cooking demonstrations and started short film series, Cinema Quarantino, co-starring pals like Helena Bonham Carter. The world turned into a darker place and that was strange, but I found it liberating in a creative way,” Neill says. “No one knew whether ‘Jurassic’ would continue, be postponed or be abandoned altogether.

Reflecting on the jet-setting career Neill enjoyed pre-pandemic, he had filmed “Rams” in Australia, wrapped Apple’s upcoming “Invasion” series in New Jersey, shot pick-ups in Marrakesh, then arrived in England to commence “Jurassic World: Dominion.” Two nights later, he retreated to Australia amid the spread of the virus. Sattler haven’t seen each other for some time, so you’ll see how that pans out,” says Neill.Ĭompleting filming was a feat amid COVID-19. Grant in 2022? “Same character, but different world, different times.
Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) went up against dinosaurs in “ Jurassic Park,” and 19 since Neill returned for “Jurassic Park III.” “Hopefully, there’ll be thousands of massive cinemas ready for it because it’s a big film for big audiences.”
