Via The Daily Telegraph — THE WOLVERINE is headed to Australia! 20th Century Fox has secured a deal estimated to be worth $80 million to the New South Wales economy. The production will generate more than 2000 jobs for Sydney.
“The Wolverine is expected to generate more than $80 million in production expenditure in NSW and create more than 720 jobs for NSW-based cast and crew, along with opportunities for 1200 extras,” he said. “It is a testament to our screen industry that Hugh Jackman and his team have chosen to come back to Australia after such a positive experience making the X-Men Origins.”
The federal government contributed $12.5 million towards securing the film for Sydney, a bid that beat off Victoria as a possible location.
Although some production work is scheduled for the US, another $10 million worth of post-production work will be done there, especially in visual effects. Both state and federal government incentives were provided to bring the film to Sydney.
Good News, Hugh is brining work to his home country. Maybe this will make up for the work they could not do in Japan. Although the film makers still hope to do some work there as well as in Canada and the United States.
Ha!
For a person who lives in the some place where Jackman came from….I am somewhat excited about this news.
I hope they go to several places rather than one, but alas that is not going to happen.
Introduce many new mutants and don’t kill them off near towards the end or the middle of the film. If you do introduce them, send them into their own fate as they did with Gambit.
🙂 Excited bros!
I hope the movie will be set n Japan as planned. I hope they don’t randomly cast Aussie TV actors in the roles like XO:W
Wolverine in the house!
