Bait to begin production in July
Principal photography of 3D shark thriller Bait will begin in July at the Warner Roadshow Studios in Queensland.
The film is the first feature to be made under the Australia-Singapore co-production treaty, by Arclight Film, Story Bridge Films and Pictures in Paradise, in association with Blackmagic Design.
Both countries’ governments have also supported Bait, with funding from Screen Australia and Screen Queensland, as well as the Media Development Authority of Singapore’s International Film Fund.
Written and directed by Russell Mulcahy, Bait is about a tsunami that hits a seaside town, trapping local shoppers and tourists in a flooded underground supermarket and car park filled with a pack of hungry sharks.
Singapore’s Widescreen Media will be in charge of the 3D elements, and post-production will be done by Blackmagic Design in the city-state.
The project has been pre-sold to 24 territories, and will be distributed next year in Australia and other countries by Paramount.
Any word on the budget yet?

I have done special effects with Frampton and have been in the industry being involved in a few short films and music videos.

Hi there – I was in Coolangatta and watched then filming all the people running over the street away from the beach and then down the road – I’d love a sneak peek at what that’s going to look like in post production!
Cheers
