The film producers behind the smash Netflix hit Boy Swallows Universe are filming a new production on the Gold Coast.
Screen Queensland has confirmed that Dangerous Animals, the latest production from Brouhaha Entertainment, is now filming on the Gold Coast.
The thriller is directed by Sean Byrne (The Loved Ones, Devil’s Candy) and written by Nick Lepard.
It will star Hassie Harrison (Yellowstone), Jai Courtney (Terminator Genisys), Josh Heuston (Heartbreak High, Dune: Prophecy) and Ella Newton (Girl at the Window, Harrow).
Brouhaha Entertainment’s Troy Lum said they loved working in the Gold Coast region.
“The Gold Coast offers everything we need to produce a world-class movie and we are grateful for the continued assistance of Screen Queensland who are tremendous partners,” he said.
Dangerous Animals follows Zephyr (Hassie Harrison), a savvy and free-spirited surfer who is abducted by Jai Courtney, a shark-obsessed serial killer.
Screen Queensland CEO Jacqui Feeney said the agency was pleased pleased to welcome Brouhaha Entertainment back to Queensland after the incredible international success of Boy Swallows Universe.
“With a storyline that is set on the Gold Coast as well as being made on the Gold Coast, Dangerous Animals is an exciting genre film that joins a slate of local screen stories including Gettin’ Square sequel Spit, Audrey, Black Snow and How to Make Gravy.”
Arts Minister Leeanne Enoch said the Queensland Government was committed to building a thriving film industry and showcasing the talents of Queenslanders to local and global audiences.
“Queensland Government investment in production attraction incentives, through Screen Queensland, is creating thousands of local jobs and generating millions for the economy through productions like Eden and Aussie Shore, as well as recent releases Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, Apples Never Fall and Land of Bad,’’ she said.
“Dangerous Animals is the latest in a strong pipeline of productions secured for Queensland, with this production supporting employment opportunities for 115 local cast, crew and creatives and contributing more than $10.7 million to the state’s economy.”
