Stars Sam Neill and Julian Dennison posed up a storm at the New Zealand premiere of their new film Hunt for the Wilderpeople last night, where they were joined by Kiwi stars including Filthy Rich’s Miriama Smith and All Black Jerome Kaino.
Directed by Taika Waititi (the man behind Boy and What We Do in the Shadows), the film tells the tale of a young boy and his uncle who go missing in the bush, sparking a national manhunt. The film also stars Rhys Darby, Stan Walker, Rachel House and Oscar Kightley.
