The Hunter shooting in Tasmania

Production of the psychological thriller The Hunter has begun in Tasmania.

“It has been a long journey and we are thrilled to finally be here in Tassie, filming in a magnificent location and working with such a talented brew of Tasmanian and mainland crew,” said producer Vincent Sheehan in a statement.

The Porchlight Film’s project is directed by Daniel Nettheim and stars US actor Willem Dafoe, Frances O’Connor and Sam Neill.

The Hunter is the story of Martin, a mercenary sent from Europe by an anonymous biotech company to the Tasmanian wilderness on a dramatic hunt for the last Tasmanian tiger. It is based on the novel by Julia Leigh.

The cast includes Morgana Davies, Jacek Koman, Dan Wyllie, Sullivan Stapleton, John Brumpton, Callan Mulvey and newcomer Finn Woodlock.
