Weir's next film, "The Last Wave" (1977), was a supernatural thriller about a man who begins to experience terrifying visions of an impending natural disaster. It starred the American actor Richard Chamberlain, who was well known to Australian and world audiences as the eponymous physician in the popular "Dr. Kildare" TV series, and would later star in the Australian-set major series "The Thorn Birds". "The Last Wave" was a pensive, ambivalent work that expanded on themes from "Picnic", exploring the interactions between the native Aboriginal and European cultures. It co-starred the Aboriginal actor David Gulpilil, whose performance won the Golden Ibex (Oscar equivalent) at the Tehran International Festival in 1977, but it was only a moderate commercial success at the time.
