AUSTRALIAN THEATRICAL RELEASE: NOVEMBER 26, 2026
A strange bargain, a magical transformation, and a relationship that takes an unexpected turn are at the centre of The Fox, a new comedy-fantasy from director Dario Russo. The film features an impressive Australian and international cast, including Emily Browning, Jai Courtney, Olivia Colman, Miranda Otto, and Sam Neill in one of his final screen roles.
Nick (Jai Courtney) seems to have everything going for him. As the easygoing heir to a wealthy rural landowner, his future looks comfortable, until he discovers that his fiancée, Kori (Emily Browning), has been cheating on him. Rather than walk away, Nick becomes determined to find a way to fix their relationship.
His chance encounter with a mysterious, rogue Fox (Olivia Colman) leads to an unusual proposition. The Fox promises to help Nick turn Kori into his ideal partner, but there’s a catch: he must push his fiancée into a magical hole capable of transforming her. Nick takes the Fox up on her offer, and the woman who emerges seems to be everything he ever wanted. However, as Kori develops some increasingly bizarre new habits, Nick begins to wonder whether getting exactly what he wished for was such a good idea after all.
