Alien Covenant Production Starting Soon

/in , /by

We are so excited about the new Alien Movie that will be filming here in Sydney this year. It’s too early to tell how many people they will need for the production but one thing is for sure. If you want a chance at being in this movie you will need to be signed up before casting begins.

It’s not just this movie that’s got us excited though. There’s been a TV production boom happening in Sydney and we are expecting it to continue through 2016. You’d better get your skates on or you might miss out.

The director revealed details of the ‘Alien’ origin stories as he begins pre-production on the followup to ‘Prometheus’ in Australia.

Over 180 MCTV people worked on “The Truth”

/in , /by

In late 2014 180 MCTV Actors and Extras worked alongside Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford in the new thriller “The Truth”. Another example of MCTV placing more people in film and tv than any other agency in Sydney.

With all the new productions coming online in the next few months, there is bound to be lot’s of work for MCTV Talent.

What’s even better is that according to this review, “The Truth” is a gripping thriller about politics, war and the media. At least two of those you should avoid as discussion topics on Christmas day.

Truth is about the 2004 news story, aired on CBS’s 60 Minutes, that showed the new reality: you don’t have to be right if you attack a news organisation, you just have to be vicious and determined.

Mad Max Fury Road wins best film and director

/in , /by

Over 40 MCTV actors and extras should be so pleased that Mad Max Fury Road cleaned up at last night’s AACTA Awards. With so many long days and very heavy costumes, the guys who worked on this production put in the hard yards. Of course, plenty of overtime was forthcoming and the pride of being part of an extremely successful production and franchise.

Meanwhile, the original Mad Max himself Mel Gibson is in town filming his own production Hacksaw Ridge. Production is still continuing with MCTV people attending shoots daily.

GEORGE Miller’s epic film Mad Max: Fury Road has been crowned the best film of the Australian industry’s biggest year at the box office since the 1990s.

It’s worth having a peek at the interview with Cate Blanchett about the local industry too. She talks about the magnetism of Australia and why we have so many talented filmmakers wanting to make their productions here.

“Australia is a very magnetic country”.. “people making films here are extraordinarily talented”

Finally, If you are up for a wild ride and haven’t seen Mad Max Fury Road yet, you should check out the trailer.
