The Verge: Nash and Joel Edgerton

Watch out, Chris and Liam Hemsworth: there’s another pair of Australian brothers on the rise. Nash and Joel Edgerton have a long background in entertainment — 35-year-old Joel acted in the Star Wars prequels as Owen Lars and starred in the recent Sundance hit Animal Kingdom , while 37-year-old Nash has done stunt work for some of the biggest blockbusters ever made — but with their new film The Square , they’re poised to break out Stateside. Nash directed the neo-noir, which finds a hapless adulterer scheming with an arsonist (played by Joel, who also wrote the screenplay) to pull off a con on his mistress’s husband. This being a crime drama, things do not go as planned. The brothers rang up Movieline today to discuss their collaboration, and they also dished on a ton of upcoming projects they’re involved with, including Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere , the Nick Nolte/Tom Hardy fighting drama Warrior , and Universal’s upcoming prequel to The Thing .
