Netflix has released the main trailer and release date for its TV adaptation of Trent Dalton's semi-autobiographical, coming-of-age novel, Boy Swallows Universe.
If you're one of the million-plus people who bought the book, seeing protagonist Eli Bell hooning around the streets of 1980s Brisbane will trigger memories of Dalton's gripping and rollicking tale.
Likewise, getting a look at that red telephone and the faces of characters like Slim Halliday (Bryan Brown), Tytus Broz (Anthony LaPaglia) and Eli's mum Frances Bell (Phoebe Tonkin) may offer a new perspective.
Speaking with The Weekend Australian, Dalton said he was very moved by the treatment given to his novel.
"They swung for the fence," he said. "I'm just so proud of how powerful and full-hearted it actually is."
The series is directed by Bharat Nalluri and Jocelyn Moorhouse, and will hit Netflix on Thursday 11 January, writes Dan Condon.

Fans get drenched as Xtina performs Dirrrrtty in Naarm/Melbourne
90s pop tragics in Naarm had a field day, kind of literally, on Friday when Mother Aguilera showed up in style at the Flemington Racecourse.
That gorgeous Melb weather (read: absolutely pouring rain) really set the scene, first for a set from our new queer icon Nat Bass who, wearing a kind of sexy chainmail, paid tribute to this "night of divas" with a cover of I Wanna Dance With Somebody, and also teased a new 80s-style dance track from Rogue Traders.
Just when you thought more royalty couldn't fit onto that stage, crowds were then treated to Jessica Mauboy (feat. a great new red hair lewk).
And then, as the heavens really opened, XTina came on stage. Plastic ponchos were donned and the crowd was treated to her bellowing out the hits, launching straight up into Dirrty and Genie in a Bottle.
She revealed the last time she was in Australia she was pregnant with her 15-year-old son and later brought out her nine-year-old daughter, who is appropriately named Summer Rain.
"Thank you for your patience and allowing me a moment to be a mama and do what I need to do," XTina told the bellowing crowd.
"New music is really coming, I prooooomise, I'm so excited." So are we.

Irish writer Paul Lynch wins the 2023 Booker Prize
Paul Lynch has won the 50,000-pound (AUD$96,000) Booker Prize for his novel Prophet Song, a dystopian novel set in Ireland in the near future.
This book describes a world of increasing political repression and social disintegration from the perspective of Eilish Stack, a mother of four living in Dublin.
The Garda National Services, Ireland's newly formed secret police, come looking for her trade unionist husband Larry, who soon goes missing. As the terror and violence ratchets up, Eilish carries on with her everyday life: caring for her children, going to the shops and helping her father.
"She's just an ordinary person living her life and trying to get back to what we all consider now to be normality," Lynch told ABC RN's The Book Show.
Judge Esi Edugyan described the winning novel as "a triumph of emotional storytelling" and praised Lynch for his visceral use of language.
"In these troubled times, we sought a novel with a guiding vision, a book to remind us that we are more than ourselves, to remind us of all that is worth saving," she said.

White Lotus faves Miss Daphne and Essex uncle f****r Jack are apparently a thing
There have been rumours about Meghann Fahy and Leo Woodall for over a year, and we finally have proof!
Page 6 papped the pair "packing on the PDA" as they walked arm in arm through the streets of New York City last week.
Which, to decode the tabloid speak, is to say: they kissed.
Now you've seen that, please enjoy this juicy clip of Fahy playing down the rumours back in January.

There's before Saltburn and after Saltburn + Jacob is very proud of *that* scene
Now that Emerald Fennel's follow-up to (the equally divisive) Promising Young Woman is in cinemas, the internet's awash with plenty of opinions, ranging from love to hate, horny to utter bewilderment — especially around the film's intense homoeroticism and its final act plot twist.
(For the record, ABC Arts critic Michael Sun found the film's end third "so convoluted it blurred the laser focus of its preceding 90 minutes".)
If you've seen it, you'll understand: if you haven't, you're probably a little confused. As @mazza.h wrote on TikTok, "why is everyone refusing to talk to me about it until I see it tomorrow, but acting as if they've been involved in something illegal by watching it???"
We don't want to spoil things too much, but maybe this recent quote from star Jacob Elordi about a masturbation scene with his co-star will provide a little context: "I was very proud. I was very proud to have Barry Keoghan guzzling it like that." Let's leave it at that.

The Scream franchise is facing a second creative reboot
Lead stars Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega won't feature in Scream 7, with Barerra fired as a result of pro-Palestinian sentiment on her social media.
Barerra, who played lead Sam Carpenter in both the annoyingly titled 2022 reboot Scream (actually Scream 5), and 2023's Scream VI, was let go by production company Spyglass due to posts interpreted as anti-Semetic — specifically, one in which she criticised "Western media" for showing only "the [Israeli] side".
After the news broke via Variety, director Christopher Landon posted and deleted a tweet in reaction to criticism, writing, "Everything sucks. Stop yelling. This was not my decision to make."
According to Spyglass, Ortega left the upcoming Scream 7 prior to this, due to a scheduling conflict with Wednesday's second season. The two played sisters in the series – now, without them, the film's writers are having to retool their script and find new leads.

Fargo returns to its roots for fifth TV season
Everyone's favourite surreal, murder-driven black comedy is back!
Following a slight departure for season four, starring Chris Rock and Jason Schwartzmann in a sprawling 1950s gangland epic, the series returns to its roots, set in the snowy present-day(ish) climes of 2019 Minnesota and North Dakota, with a focus on class, gender and lethal foul play (naturally).
With a reputation for all-star casts, this time around we get Jon Hamm (in his first major TV role since Mad Men) playing a shady local lawman investigating typical housewife Dot, played by Juno Temple (Keeley in Ted Lasso), after a very bad parent-teacher night involving a misfired taser. But then Dot is kidnapped, which may or may not involve her wealthy, acerbic mother-in-law, played by Jennifer Jason Leigh. Cue the intrigue.
There's only three episodes so far (streaming via SBS On Demand), but the set-up signals another gripping ride with unexpected twists and turns, including the trademark blend of arch dialogue, stylised direction and a ripping soundtrack selection, featuring surprising uses of prog rock titans Yes and The Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up.
Oh, and Spoiler Alert: Jon Hamm gives us nipple-rings and some full-screen derriere action. How's that for a drawcard?

In news that will traumatise Gen Zs and parents with young kids alike, Frozen has just turned 10
While the Gen Zs are having possibly their first experience of fully comprehending the interminable march of time, parents are having flashbacks to their toddlers screaming "AGAIN!" at them as they weep on the floor.
Although you will later be quietly cursing me, Disney and the whole Arendelle royal family when you realise you have Let it Go stuck on loop in your head, I think it's also fair to share the love for a story with women fighting their own battles, heartwarming sisterly bonds, songs you can truly belt along to and an animate snowman. The wider world also got to realise the witchy power of Idina Menzel, and is better for it.
Also, we got a full decade of creative covers like this one.
