action

Underbelly tells of the real events of the 1995-2004 gang war in Melbourne. In the first episode is crime syndicate of the Carlton Crew founded, which consists of Alphonse Gangitano, Domenic "Mick" Gatto, the loan shark Mario Condello, a retired bank robber Graham "Munster" Kinniburgh, the siblings Jason and Mark Moran and her father Lewis. Jason Moran's apparently harmless and feeble-minded driver Carl Williams is also involved in the syndicate , along with two police officers Steve Owen and Jacqui James, the most prominent members of Task Force Purana .

Alphonse Gangitano, the self-proclaimed "Black Prince of Lygon Street", kills a man at a party and injures 13 innocent people with Jason's help. Gangitano is murdered by Jason during his trial, although the murder goes unnoticed. The Moran brothers buy a tablet press and employ Carl Williams to manufacture their drugs. Carl secretly begins amassing his own stash and forms an alliance with the Moran brothers' rival Tony Mokbel. When Carl is caught by the police, Jason discovers that he has been betrayed and shoots him in the stomach before he can be arrested. Mark Moran then takes over the drug trade and sells Tony Mokbel to a corrupt drug police officer. Carl kills Mark with the help of the drug dealer Dino Dibra and Mr. L, who gives him an alibi . Lewis Moran hires Andrew "Benji" Veniamin to avenge his stepson. Benji kills Dibra and offers his services to Carl, whereupon he becomes his bodyguard , although Carl is eventually imprisoned. Carl's wife Roberta is then forced to continue the business and begins an affair with Benji.

After Carl is released from prison, Jason escapes into exile in London thanks to his special probation . Moran's rival, Nik "The Russian" Radev, is murdered on behalf of Carl by Benji and Mr. T, a friend Carl met in prison. After a short time Jason returns from exile and has only one thing in mind, namely to eliminate his archenemy Carl. But he's currently having other problems, because Benji is under constant surveillance by the police, whereupon Carl assigns the two killers Mr. L and Mr. T to murder Jason. The two show no consideration and cause a bloodbath in a city park . Carl, who has now risen to become the undisputed king of Melbourne's underworld, commissions Willie Thompson to be murdered without knowing that he is a friend of Tony Mokbel. However, Tony now blames another petty dealer, Michael Marshall, for the crime and asks Carl to take care of it. He sends his two killers, Mr. L and Mr. T, who shoot Michael on the street. They are arrested immediately afterwards, but the police are unable to prove Carl's involvement in the crime.

After Graham Kinniburgh is murdered, Carl agrees to end the violence and asks Benji if he will kill Domenic "Mick" Gatto. But he kills Benji instead and is arrested afterwards. A new thug, Keith Faure (not named in the series), offers Carl to collaborate while his real motive is to take over Carl's position. A few days later, Keith Lewis kills Moran in a crowded bar. Filled with revenge on his friend's death, the convicted murderer Lewis Caine decides to kill Mario Condello, the only surviving member of the Carlton crew . However, Caine was betrayed by his accomplices and is murdered beforehand. Meanwhile, detective Owen Condello's bodyguard "Tibor" has been arrested and they agree that he is working as an undercover agent . In the meantime, Carl's imprisoned employees testify against him. Finally, the two detectives, Owen and James Carl, arrest the family at a barbecue . A voice-over , spoken by Detective James, reveals that Mick Gatto will eventually be acquitted for Benji's murder and that Mario Condello will be killed during his trial for attempted murder.

Historical deviations

Although the series tells the real-life events of the gang wars, there are several inaccuracies. In the seventh episode, Paul Kallipolitis was murdered in his home by Andrew Veniamin, and in the following episode, Victor Peirce was murdered outside his home. When Carl William is shot by Moran in the series, a beach can be seen in the background, but the actual shot took place in Broadmeadows, where no coast can be seen. While both murders occurred in 2002, the timeline on the series is incorrect, as Peirce was murdered on May 1st and Kallipolitis on October 15th.

The execution of Victor Peirce in the eighth episode is portrayed as having been murdered in his car in front of his house, but he was actually shot across from a supermarket on Bay Street in Port Melbourne . The murder of the alleged drug dealer Willie Thompson is depicted in the tenth episode as if Thompson had been murdered in broad daylight after leaving a martial arts studio, but he was shot at at 8:30 p.m. on Waverley Road in the Melbourne suburb of Chadstone .

The skyline of Melbourne and the Eureka Tower can be seen in all episodes , but it was only completed in 2006.

production

The changing rooms of Etihad Stadium were used for the prison scenes

The series is based on the book Leadbelly: Inside Australia's Underworld by The Age journalists John Silvester and Andrew Rule. Since Nine Network was interested in producing a series on a local theme, they decided to retell the story of the Melbourne gang wars in a drama series . Jo Horsburgh, head of drama at Nine Network, said the station is "100 percent committed to bringing Underbelly to the small screen." Des Monaghan, Executive Producer of Screentime, described the series as "one of the most exciting and challenging drama series that was ever shot in Australia". Work on the script began in June 2006 and lasted 12 months.

The series was filmed in Melbourne and around the city where the real events took place. The shooting lasted 82 days, from July 2nd to October 19th 2007. Parts of the series were shot in the districts of Essendon and Docklands . Many of the scenes that take place in the Carlton neighborhood were filmed in the north of Melbourne, mainly around Errol Street. The changing rooms of the Etihad Stadium were used for the prison scenes .

promotion

The broadcaster Nine Network invested more than fifteen million dollars in production and promotion of the series. In the run-up to the series, a large marketing campaign was started in which the radio, billboards and increased online presence, including the use of the social network , were involved. When the CEO of Nine Network, David Gyngell, saw the need to increase its online presence and use the social network as a valuable marketing tool, the official website was launched. The original website was launched on January 15, 2008 with just a three-minute trailer, while the full site, with additional functions, didn't go online until February 1, 2008. It was announced that the first full episode would be available for download on the website on February 10, 2008, three days before the series premiere on television, but this option was never activated due to the injunction of the Supreme Court in Victoria. This project follows a strategy similar to that used for the launch of Sea Patrol in 2007. With behind-the-scenes videos, character profiles, and the use of social networking features, the site was ready to become the broadest, most detailed site the broadcaster had for such a series to date. Due to the injunction, the station was forced to remove the character profiles from its official website in the state of Victoria.

Prequels

The first prequel to the series, Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities , revolves around the marijuana trafficking in the town of Griffith , New South Wales . The series follows the lives of the two later infamous drug barons "Aussie Bob" Trimbole and Terry "Mr Asia" Clark , each played by Roy Billing and Matthew Newton . Filming took place in Sydney and Melbourne until March 2009. The locations of Richmond , Bondi Beach and Warwick Farm in Sydney represented the Griffith in the 1970s. Screenwriters Peter Gawler and Greg Haddrick admitted that there is more nudity and sex there than there is in the original. The prequel opened on February 9, 2009 with 2.5 million viewers, making it the most watched non-sporting program in Australian audience history.

The second prequel Underbelly: The Golden Mile was launched on 11 April 2010. In June 2010, Nine Network announced a television film - trilogy entitled The Underbelly Files to. The titles of the three television films are Infiltration , The Man Who Got Away and Tell Them Lucifer Was Here . Furthermore, in April 2011 filming began on the fourth prequel Underbelly: Razor , which is due to be broadcast at the end of 2011.

Cast and dubbing

The Eureka Tower can be seen in all episodes, although it wasn't completed until 2006
