The latter will become a family favorite even Tom takes to him, horsing around with the bird and his son. Born in Brisbane, Australia, on the 9th of June 2006, Finn Little has quickly become a very respected actor worldwide. Both his new friend and his father warn Mike - whom Fingerbone Bill nicknames “Storm Boy” - that the birds are unlikely to survive. 83 Photos Australian actor Finn Little has an impressive tally of feature films and global television shows under his young belt. When hunters kill a group of pelicans, Mike and Fingerbone Bill discover three baby pelicans. One day Mike meets Fingerbone Bill (Trevor Jamieson), an aboriginal man who is also living apart.
Drunken hunters occasionally show up to hunt pelicans, which is especially maddening because Tom is trying to get the land declared a bird sanctuary. He and Hideaway Tom only go in town for supplies. So Mike tells her a story of his youth, and we’re back on Ninety Mile Beach, where the film really belongs. Her mom, Mike’s daughter, has died she’s close with Mike, but angry that he can’t, or won’t, stop the deal. Protestors greet Mike at the front of the building, but there’s another protester at home - Malcolm’s daughter, Maddy (Morgana Davies), who is against the mining agreement specifically and against her father generally (“I hate him!”). Mike shows up at the skyscraper headquarters for an important vote on whether to lease land to a mining company. The grown Mike has stepped down from running the massive company that has made him monstrously rich, leaving his son-in-law Malcolm (Erik Thomsen) in charge, but Mike is still on the board. A good message, sure, but this is pretty heavy-handed. On the other hand, it exists to deliver a subtle-as-a-flying-mallet message about protecting the environment.

On the one hand, Geoffrey Rush, as the grown-up and grown-old Mike, is terrific as a rich old coot who’s forgotten how to live. We get to them by way of a framing device that doesn’t exist in Colin Thiele’s novel or the 1976 film. The core story involves a boy named Mike (Finn Little), who lives on the extremely remote Ninety Mile Beach in rural Australia with his father, a loner known as Hideaway Tom (Jai Courtney). But director Shawn Seet’s film is surprisingly sweet and moving. Whatever the answer to that question, it’s easy to be cynical about and wary of another film about a boy and his - no kidding - pelican. Why? Why does anything get made again? Maybe it’s to make more money, maybe it’s because someone thinks there’s something new to say (and in this version, there is). “Storm Boy” is a beloved Australian film based on a beloved Australian novel - and now the film is getting a remake.
