A boost for local screen crew and Victoria's reputation as a major movie destination, with cameras set to roll on a new sci-fi thriller from Lionsgate and Netflix.
War Machine will feature Victoria's stunning mountain landscapes near Bright and Myrtleford, also shooting in Melbourne and our state-of-the-art sound stages 🌄🎥
It will create more than 2,000 jobs for Victorians (including 10 head of department roles) and support 80 local businesses.
Reacher's Alan Ritchson will star alongside Dennis Quaid, Stephen James, Jai Courtney, Esai Morales and Australians Blake Richardson, Keiynan Lonsdale and Daniel Webber.
Melbourne filmmaker Patrick Hughes - the co-writer, director and producer - says it's "a lifelong dream to bring Hollywood-style blockbusters home to Australia".
The production follows other major projects at Docklands Studios including international TV series All Her Fault and Sony Pictures feature Beneath the Storm.

We’re delighted to announce the Emmy-winning actress is returning to Docklands Studios Melbourne!
Snook will bring her star power to suburban thriller All Her Fault, which will pump $70 million into the Victoria economy.
This includes around 2,000 jobs for local screen industry workers (including 510 crew and placements for emerging screen workers) plus flow-on benefits for more than 400 businesses.
It’s somewhat of a homecoming for Snook who filmed several projects at Docklands Studios earlier in her career: Predestination (2014), The Dressmaker (2015), Oddball (2015) and Winchester (2018).
Adelaide-born Snook, now based in Melbourne after her Emmy and Golden Globe winning role as Shiv Roy in HBO's Succession, said she's "excited about being able to work in Melbourne again. The industry we have here, across all departments of cast and crew, is world class."
She’ll be joined by Dakota Fanning (Ripley, The Equalizer 3), Jake Lacy (White Lotus), Abby Elliott (The Bear), Sophie Lillis (It) and Michael Peña (Unstoppable), while award winner Minkie Spiro (3 Body Problem, Downtown Abbey, Dead to Me) will direct the first episode.
The synopsis follows every parent’s worst nightmare: “Marissa Irvine arrives at 14 Arthur Avenue, expecting to pick up her young son, Milo, from his first playdate with a boy at his new school. But the woman who answers the door isn't a mother she recognises. She isn't the nanny. She doesn't have Milo.”
Filming will start soon on the blockbuster based on the best-selling novel by Andrea Mara and produced by Carnival Films, part of Universal International Studios.
The shoot at Docklands Studios and on location around Melbourne includes filming at NantStudios state-of-the-art virtual production (LED volume) facility on our lot.
Grab your tickets and head to Brisbane on Saturday 24th August to celebrate Australia's best designers in screen entertainment, events and live performance 🏆
The Australian Production Design Guild 2024 awards will kick off with drinks on the terrace at the State Library of Queensland.
We are thrilled to be founding and principal sponsor of the @apdguild awards, now in their 14th year, and look forward to celebrating with nominees and award winners at the gala evening in Brisbane on August 24.
There are some 20 trophies up for grabs, including two individual awards proudly presented by us on the night.
Good luck to all the nominees 🤞🍀🏆🎬

Ausfilm celebrates the passage of legislation in Parliament today increasing Australia’s Location Offset to 30%, delivering a huge win for the Australian screen industry and broader Australian economy by bringing millions of dollars of direct foreign investment into local businesses, delivering sustainable careers, creative innovation, skills and training, and complementing existing funding for Australian projects.
Kate Marks, Ausfilm CEO said, “This is fantastic news for the industry. The 30% Location Offset will provide certainty for international productions, supporting a stable pipeline of work for thousands of Australian screen workers and businesses. It sets us up for sustained success and exciting growth across production and post-production and we look forward to seeing Australian creativity, ingenuity and industry shine through on the world’s biggest and best productions.”
Ausfilm thanks the Australian Government for this milestone legislation.
