Melanie Lynskey

Melanie Lynskey Instagram – Pike River is out in New Zealand cinemas today. So proud to be part of telling this story. Many thanks to @sylvester.pg for the amazing red shirt and pants look for press day, navy dress for Wellington, black suit for Greymouth and more! Hair by Amy McLennan in Te-Whanganui-a-Tara and Hannah Wilson everywhere else. Makeup by me. Too shiny!
Much love to our incredible crew, our beautiful cast full of some of Aotearoa’s finest actors, our writer Fiona Samuel, our producers Tim White and Vicky Pope, and director Rob Sarkies who put his entire being into making this. Thank you @jacindaardern for all you have done for Anna and Sonya and for being such an inspiration. Thank you to my friends and family and agents at @johnson_laird who came out to support at the screenings (one of these pictures is with my friends Zoe, Heather and Rocky who have been my friends since we were 13!!) Thank you to the unbelievable @robynjmalcolm who is a dream, an angel, an extraordinary actor and a person I hope to know forever. I love you. Thank you to @madmanfilmsnz for all you’ve done. Thank you to the team at @we_are_818 who did such an amazing job promoting the film- if you need a PR team in Aotearoa they are the BEST. Love you @cynthiamonardez. Most importantly, thank you to the families who lost a loved one at Pike River disaster and mostly, eternally, thank you to Anna Osborne and Sonya Rockhouse. Your courage and love are awe-inspiring, and Robyn and I are so grateful for your trust in us. We adore you. | Posted on 30/Oct/2025 08:23:23
