I, Frankenstein to film in Victoria

Fantasy film I, Frankenstein will be filmed in Victoria, in a deal which the state government says will see $37m spent locally on cast and crew.

The news comes a month after it was announced the film was coming to Australia.

Australian filmmaker Stuart Beattie (director of Tomorrow, When the War Began, writer of Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl and Australia) will both write and direct.

Victoria’s minister for innovation, services and small business Louise Asher said: “Securing an Australian production with such a high international profile is a real testament to the strength of the Victorian screen industry and the calibre of the crews, talent, facilities and services available here.”
