Aw c’mon you know we all feel like doing that whenever we think about Rob being on Aussie soil for longer than 38 hours.  And being a proud Aussie I’m going to post anything and everything about our wonderful film industry … especially when we are talking about Rob and Guy Pearce and possibly one of the Edgerton boys (either in front of or behind the scenes).  Oh God I’m going to hyperventilate …  sorry I’m back and happy to report that:

“The South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC) has backed feature film The Rover and TV series Sam Fox: Extreme Adventures, which will both be filmed in the state.

The SAFC has committed $900,000 across both projects following Screen Australia’s announcement last week that the federal agency would also invest in the projects. SAFC chair Cheryl Bart said South Australia has secured a bumper crop of production over the next twelve months, which will make the new Adelaide Studios a hive of production activity.

“While the studios have already been pretty busy, with a full complement of industry tenants developing and producing work in the new building, these projects will use our new production facilities to their full potential, and create an incredible energy on site,” she said in a statement.

The Rover and Sam Fox: Extreme Adventures will spend a combined $13.9 million in South Australia, according to the SAFC.   …”
