| First in local news.. "He Died With a Felafel
in His Hand" is being made into a feature film around Brisbane.
It will star Noah Tayleor (Shine & True Love and Chaos). It will be
directed by Richard Lowenstein (Dogs in Space).. Kind of like Dogs in Space
the book written by John Birmingham looks at the pschological and physical
chaos of shared house living.. The Author is from Brisbane and the house
it is based on is actually in New Farm (insider knowledge). Noah Taylor
will be playing the role of a writer named Danny who returns home to find
said dead white guy on ground, clutching a Felafel. The Brisbane scenes
will be shot at a Queenslander in Annerly (not the forementioned New Farm).
The film is set in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.. The Melbourne scenes
will be shot in Sydney's suburb of Glebe.. But the Brisbane scenes will
be set in Brisbane.. Especially after last years shooting of a Brisbane
suburb in Sydney in the film "Praise" which really didn't work.
The film will also star French Actress Romane Bohringer (The Apartment,
Rembrandt) and Emily Hamilton (Haunted 1995, The Ruby Ring). The price of
this film is 4 million.. Shooting begins next week in Sydney. |
