The Square is a 2008 Australian neo-noir thriller film directed by Nash Edgerton, written by his brother Joel Edgerton and Matthew Dabner, and starring David Roberts and Claire van der Boom.[1][2] Based upon an original idea by Joel, the project was written and then shelved by the actor because he felt it was not strong enough. It was only made after his director brother Nash read the script and convinced him it could be filmed as a thriller.[3] The film premiered in competition at Sydney Film Festival on 15 June 2008[4] and after that had a limited release in Australia on 31 July 2008, and was released in North America in 2010 by Apparition.[3]
