Lego film to be produced in Sydney
Sydney’s rising fortunes as a film hub continued today with Animal Logic announced as the animation studio for Warner Bros film Lego.
Andrew Stoner, the acting NSW premier, made the announcement at Fox Studios.
According to the announcement, the production will see up to $48m spent in NSW and employ over 200 people. The film is due for release in 2014.
Stoner said: “Congratulations to Animal Logic for beating strong international competition from the US and Canada to secure this major animated film production.”
Congratulations to Animal Logic.
The only thing that bothers me is that politicians keep trying to score points when there’s a production coming over, no matter the side they are on.
I heard a politician announce this on radio. Was very proud and excited. He finished his speech with this totally ridiculous line though
“This is further proof that our screen industry really is the envy of the world”
Either delusional or the funniest politician on earth.
