Hollywood is officially back on the Gold Coast, with filming underway for the brand-new sci-fi action thriller Bluefly.
The blockbuster features a massive star-studded cast, led by Russell Crowe, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Emmy award-winning actor Michael Chiklis.
The plot follows a U.S. special ops unit on a covert mission in the Congo to recover a missing high-tech aircraft.
The production is expected to inject an estimated $7.3 million into the state’s economy through local businesses like accommodation, transport, construction, and catering.
Minister for the Arts John-Paul Langbroek said the project highlights the appeal of Queensland as a premier filmmaking destination.
“Through Screen Queensland’s Production Attraction Strategy, the Crisafulli Government is delivering a consistent pipeline of high-profile productions for the state, with projects benefitting from our renowned crew base, first-class facilities, versatile locations and enviable lifestyle,” Minister Langbroek said.
In addition to the economic boost, Bluefly is directly employing around 190 local crew members.
