Australia’s Roy Billing (The Dish) has also joined the cast. With funding from the South Australian Film Corporation, the shoot is currently taking place on location in South Australia and at the world class Adelaide Studios.

Never Too Late is directed by Mark Lamprell (My Mother Frank, A Few Less Men), written by screenwriter and crime novelist Luke Preston and produced by Antony I Ginnane (Patrick, Last Dance) and David Lightfoot (Wolf Creek).
