A New Shark Attack in ‘The Reef’
Mysterious Light & Prodigy Movies production of psychological thriller The Reef has commenced pre-production at Sydney’s Fox Studios. Based on a true story, The Reef follows four friends whose boat capsizes on the Great Barrier Reef. Forced to swim to land & safety, they are stalked by a relentless 15-foot great white shark. Read on for more details.
Confirmed cast includes Damian Walshe-Howling (Underbelly, Blue Heelers), Zoe Naylor (McLeods Daughters), Gyton Grantley (Underbelly), Adrienne Pickering (Knowing, Out Of The Blue) and Kieran Darcy-Smith (Animal Kingdom, The Square).
Filming will commence in October on location in Hervey Bay in Queensland.
The film will feature live footage of great white sharks, shot in South Australia. Intent on producing a realistic, terrifying film, no CGI or animatronic models will be used – these sharks are the real deal!
As part of the unique marketing for the film, The Reef will offer a world first opportunity with live web streaming of the making of the film – as it happens. This concept will give viewers a unique insight into the making of a feature film, usually reserved for DVD extras. The stream will be 100% live and un-edited, commencing Thursday November 5. Exact time and further details will be announced on the film’s official website
The Reef is produced by Traucki’s Mysterious Light company and Michael Robertson of Prodigy Movies. International sales are being handled by Lightening Entertainment out of the US, with confirmed pre-sale territories including the UK, Japan, Canada & Europe.
Traucki & Robertson were behind 2007’s successful feature “Black Water”, released in over 76 territories worldwide and nominated for 2 AFI’s among others.
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
