- THE WOLVERINE
The
Daily Telegraph has revealed
that Twentieth Century Fox will film James Mangold-directed The Wolverine in Hugh
Jackman's hometown, Sydney, Australia. They report:
In a deal estimated to be worth $80 million to
the New South Wales economy, the blockbuster is the latest big budget movie to
be made in the state following recent hits such as The Great Gatsby, Lego,
Walking With Dinosaurs and Happy Feet 2.
Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner, who helped
secure the deal with 20th Century Fox when he flew to Los Angeles in January,
said winning the film would 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 Wolverine is scheduled for a July 26, 2013 release.
