๐ฌ In a major boost for Victoria`s screen industry, Docklands Studios Melbourne has landed international blockbuster Empire City, starring Gerard Butler (pictured).
Led by local producer Paul Currie (Better Man, Hacksaw Ridge), the production sees Melbourne doubling as New York City when shooting starts this month.
Billed as a Die Hard style hostage thriller, Empire City has Butler (Plane, Den of Thieves) as a NYC firefighter trying to rescue captives inside a landmark city building, alongside his NYPD wife played by Hayley Atwell (MIssion : Impossible, Captain America).
The $35 million injection into the Victorian economy includes:
* 350 jobs for crew
* 860 roles for cast, casuals, and extras
* 600 local businesses engaged
Details in link above - in bio.
Empire City is the latest international project to film at Docklands Studios this year, following horror movie Insidious 6, psychological drama The Dispatcher, and World War II thriller Play Dead.

๐ป The masters of horror are back!
Powerhouse Victorian filmmakers Leigh Whannell and James Wan have returned home to shoot the sixth instalment of the Insidious franchise right here at Docklands Studios Melbourne.
While the spine-tingling action unfolds on Stage 6, moody period streetscapes in Camberwell, Essendon and Kensington are doubling as New England.
๐ฌ The production is creating 513 local jobs โ including 205 crew and 14 Victorian Heads of Department.
Insidious joins a growing list of genre films shot at Docklands Studios, including Late Night with the Devil, Together, Saccharine, Play Dead, and the recently wrapped Stake Out from Princess Picturesโ Laura Waters.
Producer Leigh Whannell says: โItโs a dream to bring an Insidious film back to my hometown.โ
Meanwhile, producer Jason Blum calls Melbourne โan incredible city for filmmaking (with) its mix of world-class crews, cutting-edge facilities, and rich creative culture.โ
The Insidious franchise has notched up $740 million worldwide since 2010.

Ten years ago, Teresa Palmer stepped onto our Stage 3 to film psychological thriller Berlin Syndrome ๐ฑ
๐ Fun fact: the art department painstakingly recreated an east Berlin apartment inside the stage, complete with running water, gas, and electricity.

๐ฌ That`s a wrap on The Dispatcher!
After 20 weeks of shooting across Victoria, cameras have officially stopped rolling at Docklands Studios Melbourne.
With location filming across the stunning backdrops of Warrnambool, Portland, Mount Dandenong, Warburton, Somers, Hoddles Creek and more, regional Victoria was the true star of the show ๐
And it`s a win for the economy, with 1,668 jobs created - 768 cast & crew, 900 background artists and 735 Victorian businesses supported ๐๐
Actor Brendan Cowell (who stars alongside Patrick Brammall and Maxine Peake) was on hand to show Victoria`s Creative Industries Minister Colin Brooks behind the scenes.
