Most films get a cinematic release and then, a couple of months after their run, are released to DVD for viewers to purchase and keep. In a different take on the release strategy, the new film Kill Me Three Times from Kriv Stenders (Red Dog) and starring Simon Pegg will receive a unique press tour and release strategy.
The film will debut to Australian audiences at a number of Q&A screenings being held in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth in August (see details below), and then followed up shortly after by the film’s release to digital platforms and DVD/Blu-Ray on the 9th September. To further support the release and add to the experience for fans, an interactive Twitter and Facebook has been set up where participants are immersed in the story over the course of three days with individualised phone, email, social media and video messages involving Pegg’s character.

Kill Me Three Times is about professional assassin Charlie Wolfe (Simon Pegg) who after a botched assignment finds himself entangled in three separate tales of murder, revenge and blackmail.
The film also stars Alice Braga (Elysium), Teresa Palmer (Warm Bodies) Sullivan Stapleton (Animal Kingdom), Callan Mulvey (Zero Dark Thirty), Luke Hemsworth (Infini), and Aussie acting legend Bryan Brown (Australia) and was shot in a number of stunning Western Australian locations.
