A [[Tomorrow When the War Began (Filmfilm)|movie]] premiered on August 8, 2010, and got a wide release in Australia on September 2, 2010. It was successful enough that [http://www.joblo.com/red-dawn-ish-aussie-movie-tomorrow-when-the-war-began-gets-more-tomorrows the rest of the series is also being adapted.] No word on an American release, although given the books' failure to catch on in America, [[No Export for You|we're not getting our hopes up]]. The trailer is up [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qxb8rgq_Un8 here.]
 
By the way, this series is totally not ''[[Red Dawn]]'' in the outback. Honest.
Line 39:
* [[Convenient Slow Dance]]: Mentioned. Back before the war, Lee asked Ellie to dance at a school dance during a nice slow song, but it ended up taking him a while to ask her, and they end up dancing to ''Convicted of Love'' instead. When told this story, Ellie admits she doesn't even remember the incident.
* [[Crazy Enough to Work]]
* [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms]]: Ellie and Fi discuss in one book whether they think the guys do this when the girls aren't around. Ellie reveals that she once [[Caught Withwith Your Pants Down|walked in on Homer]] doing it and decided not to mention it to avoid awkwardness.
** Later, in ''The Ellie Chronicles'', Ellie also walks in on Gavin (who is deaf, and so wouldn't have heard her knock). Ellie leaves quickly before he can see her, and makes a mental note to tell Homer to have a talk with him.
* [[Death Seeker]]: Ellie suspects that this is {{spoiler|Lee's}} motivation after {{spoiler|he finds out his parents have been killed, and he embarks on a series of solo guerilla missions}}.
Line 55:
[[The Chick]] - Fi }}
** Robyn tends to float between [[The Big Guy]], [[The Smart Guy]], and [[The Chick]] {{spoiler|before she died.}}
* [[Girls Withwith Guns]]
* [[Good Guns, Bad Guns]]: Averted. The bad guys use M-16s too.
* [[Hollywood Tactics]]: Most notably in ''Darkness, Be My Friend'', when they try to {{spoiler|take down the airfield by putting sugar in the gas tanks of planes. It doesn't work, but due to the tank being padlocked}}.
Line 93:
** [[Sleeping Single]]: Even after they become sexually active, {{spoiler|Ellie}} 'likes her privacy too much' to ''sleep'' together. Of course, in this case, 'together' is difficult, as double beds are scarce in the bush.
* [[The Film of the Book]]
* [[Taking You Withwith Me]]: The climax of ''The Third Day, The Frost''.
** [[Put Down Your Gun and Step Away]]: Ditto.
** Arguably a [[Stupid Sacrifice]].
