Adelaide Studios open for business
Three productions have been announced during today’s media tour and opening of the new Adelaide Studios; two films and one television series.
Adelaide Studios was $48m of a $300m project announced in 2008 to redevelop Glenside campus. Suitable for film, television and digital media production, the facilities at Adelaide Studios include:
- Two soundstages (1,000sqm and 400sqm);
- A sound mixing theatre (Harrison and Icon console) with Dolby Premiere Accreditation sought;
- A 96-seat screening theatre;
- ADR/Foley recording studio;
- A large green room and;
- Production offices.
As the last film to shoot at Hendon studios, The King is Dead by Rolf De Heer will be the first to use the new sound mixing theatre, which Adelaide Studios CEO Richard Harris said is equalled only by that of the room at Deluxe in Sydney. Harris told Encore, it’s the part of the studios he’s most excited about.
The second feature announced is Greg McLean’s Wolf Creek 2. “I’ve just done a tour with Matt Hearn, my co-producer and our jaws are on the ground,” He told Encore. “Having spent the last two years in LA, the mixing studio and design is as good as any. I can’t wait to get onto the sound stages and mixing theatre.”
