Melbourne secures Connolly’s feature A View From the Bridge

The film adaptation of Arthur Miller’s award-winning play A View From the Bridge will be directed by Robert Connolly and made in Melbourne this year, with pre-production, filming and post to take place in the state.

The film will be a 100 percent Australian project, produced by actor Anthony LaPaglia, Australian UK-based producer Marion Pilowsky, and LA-based producer Natalie Stevenson.

The cast includes LaPaglia, Mia Wasikowska, Vera Farmiga and Sebastian Sant. The screenplay has been written by Andrew Bovell; according to Film Victoria CEO Sandra Sdraulig, “at least 70 crew” will be from Victoria.

The project received an incentive from Victoria’s Production Investment Attraction Fund.
