View from the Bridge has provisional certificate
Contrary to reports, the film adaptation of A View From the Bridge, set to be shot in Melbourne later this year, has received a provisional certificate to receive the Producer Offset.
“Contrary to the recent article in The Australian, we do have our provisional certification as a qualifying Australian film,” producer Marion Pilowsky told Encore.
The newspaper reported that the film had been denied a provisional certificate.
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.
A View From the Bridge received an incentive from Victoria’s Production Investment Attraction Fund to shoot in the state instead of New York, where the story is set.
