“It’s all good, Nick. She got what she wanted, you got what you wanted – it’s better than nothing’! Eh?” Aura Entertainment debuted the official US trailer for the film The Fox, a wacky satire about romance and infidelity and talking animals. Or something like that. It opened last month in Australia (teaser here), and finally opens in the US this December in select theaters. This indie comedy flick is described as an “absurdly comic Australian folktale” and originally premiered at the 2025 SXSW Film Festival. Dealing with a cheating fiancée, an affable fox hunter encounters a shape-shifting fox who offers him an opportunity to transform his partner into the perfect woman and in doing so take control of the natural world. Jai Courtney and Emily Browning star as the main couple, alongside Olivia Colman as a talking fox and Sam Neill (RIP – miss him!!) as a magpie. The ensemble cast also includes Damon Herriman, Claudia Doumit, Zlatko Burić, Frankie J. Holden, Heather Mitchell, and Kim Gyngell. This reminds me of both The Lobster and Ruby Sparks, which also have fantastical romantic comedy aspects exploring modern relationships and how funky they can be at times. This looks super wild and kooky and very messed up! Should be a good one.
Here’s the official US trailer (+ poster) for Dario Russo’s film The Fox, direct from Aura’s YouTube:
You can rewatch the initial teaser trailer for Dario Russo’s The Fox movie right here for the first look.
Nick (Jai Courtney), an affable heir to a wealthy rural landowner, discovers that his fiancée, Kori (Emily Browning), is cheating on him and wants nothing more than to fix the problem. One night, he captures a rogue Fox (Olivia Colman), and she offers him a trade-off: if Nick lets her live, the Fox will help him save his relationship. All he has to do is push Kori into a magic hole with the power to change her into the perfect partner. Nick follows the Fox’s advice and the Kori who re-emerges seems to be everything he ever wanted. Until her strange new quirks make him question his decision. The Fox is written and directed by Australian filmmaker Dario Russo, making his first feature film after directing on the series “Danger 5” & “At Home Alone Together” previously. Produced by Kristina Ceyton, Samantha Jennings, Carly Maple. This first premiered at the 2025 SXSW Film Festival last year. Madman Films already released this in Australia in October. Aura Ent. will open Russo’s The Fox film in select US theaters starting December 4th, 2026.
