NSW film production is zipping by, if you blink you might miss it! Here’s a snapshot of screen production and activities for June in New South Wales.
Ryan Gosling Falls for Sydney, New South Wales
Sydney will soon play host to the big-budget feature, The Fall Guy. The Universal Filmed Entertainment Group production starring Ryan Gosling, was drawn by Sydney’s stunning locations, support through the Federal Government’s Location Incentive program and Screen NSW’s Made in NSW – International Footloose Production fund.
Acting Head of Screen NSW, David Gordon stated, “NSW is a highly attractive place to film, and we have seen a boom in film production over the last two years, through both our highly skilled cast and crew and with Screen NSW’s Made in NSW – International Footloose Production fund.”
“Securing The Fall Guy for NSW is further proof that NSW is a great place to locate a film and take advantage of our film studios, diverse architecture, landscapes, technically skilled crews, and highly competitive incentives.”
David Gordon, Acting Head of Screen NSW
The live-action feature is based on the 80s television series, The Fall Guy, which was created by Glen A. Larson and starred Lee Majors as a Hollywood stunt man who, to make ends meet, has a side hustle as a bounty hunter.
