Her brunette hair was elegantly coiffed and a glowing layer of makeup and smoky eyeshadow helped emphasise her striking facial features.

Bana’s new film Force of Nature is another murder mystery and like its predecessor The Dry, is based on a bestselling novel from Australian author Jane Harper.

Eric will reprise the role of Aaron Falk, the dogged detective fans know from 2020’s The Dry.

This time, the sleuth heads into high country to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a corporate whistleblower played by Anna Torv who goes missing on a corporate hiking trip.
