Video will play in Play now Don't auto playNever auto playA remake of a Kiwi film more than 35 years old has made its star-studded debut in Auckland. Pork Pie, based on Geoff Murphy's 1981 film Goodbye Pork Pie, isn't due in cinemas until February 2 but had its world premiere at a glitzy ceremony at The Civic tonight. Starring James Rolleston, Dean O'Gorman and Ashleigh Cummings, Pork Pie is directed by Geoff Murphy's son Matt Murphy. Rolleston, a rising star who has also appeared in Boy and The Dark Horse, suffered life-threatening injuries in a serious car crash in July, just weeks after filming Pork Pie. Despite some "enjoyably deja vu moments," Herald critic Russell Baillie said the film "stuck to the middle of the road".
