Homeward Bound … by Garry Maddox The Sydney Morning Herald, Australia, 30th July 2008
The Federal Government's plan to bring prominent Australian filmmakers home with new production incentives is showing results.
The director Russell Mulcahy, best known for the Highlander movies and the miniseries On The Beach, is returning from Los Angeles next month with plans to shoot two $30 million horror films.
First will be Bait, which will be shot at the Warner Roadshow Studios on the Gold Coast. Jesse Spencer, from Neighbours and House, is expected to play a role.
Mulcahy then plans to shoot Martin Gregory, starring the Oscar-winner Adrien Brody, in Sydney and the rainforest around Cairns.
Speaking from Los Angeles yesterday, Mulcahy described Martin Gregory as an epic film with similarities to Highlander.
He expected both films would qualify for the new 40 per cent rebate for production.
"I'm desperately trying to get back and make films in Australia," Mulcahy said.
