Iloura wins work on new M. Night film

An Australian VFX company has won work on M. Night Shyamalan’s new film After Earth.

Melbourne-based Iloura is working on the sci-fi film which stars Will Smith and his son Jaden as a father and son duo who crash land on a planet that was evacuated by humans 1,000 years ago.

The VFX company has 150 shots and one of five or six vendors working on the big budget film being helmed by the Sixth Sense director.

Caroline Pitcher, business development & marketing director told Encore: “We’re starting on a package of 150 shots and that will grow over the period of the project. We’ve started work already and we’ll deliver final shots in the first quarter of 2013.”
