Filming Begins for Russell Crowe's Bear Country in Queensland

News summary

Filming for the action thriller 'Bear Country,' starring Russell Crowe, is set to begin in February in Queensland, Australia. The film, directed by Derrick Borte and adapted from Thomas Perry's novel 'Strip,' follows an ageing club owner whose plans for retirement are disrupted by a robbery. This production is expected to employ about 95 local crew members and generate approximately $11.9 million for the Queensland economy, bolstered by the state's Production Attraction Strategy. Queensland's Arts Minister, John-Paul Langbroek, highlighted the government's role in attracting such international projects to the region, while Screen Queensland CEO Jacqui Feeney praised the local talent pool and training opportunities for emerging crew members. Crowe's return to Queensland marks his second consecutive project in the state, following 'Land of Bad' filmed in late 2022. The film is anticipated to showcase the Gold Coast's natural beauty, which will double for Los Angeles in the movie.
