It was the first round of the 2019 NRL Season over the weekend and the first time our MCTV NRL fans showed their support in the new Decision pending screen. All of the tiny fans on the screen are from MCTV and they will be an integral part of each and every NRL game for the whole season. If you look really closely, you can see that some of the people are copied. In fact, digital trickery was used to replicate 20 MCTV people across this whole screen. So, it’s a little weird for the background actors who can say that they are performing alongside their clones for this production.

After receiving production funding from Screen Australia and Create NSW the film adaptation of Penguin Bloom will be getting underway soon. Starring Naomi Watts and produced by Reece Witherspoon and Bruna Papandrea (Big Little Lies) it has all the right names behind it. Based on the international best-selling book of the same name, this magical film tells the true and emotional story of a family’s extraordinary friendship with a unique little bird. Set on Australia’s northern beaches, the film stars Naomi Watts (The Impossible) as Sam Bloom, a young mother recovering from a near-fatal accident that has left her unable to walk.

 

Mastermind is the legendary and iconic quiz show that is renowned for setting the toughest questions on television. MCTV people have been shooting a promo for the new Quiz TV Series that will air soon on SBS.

Black B*tch is a political thriller with intrigue, backstabbing and power games — the kind of environment Australian voters seem all too aware of after years of real-life political farce in Canberra.

Rachel Griffiths plays Rachel Anderson, a ruthless prime minister who sees an opportunity in the story of Alex Irving (Mailman), an indigenous Gulf of Carpentaria woman who is thrust into the national spotlight.

We already have several people booked for the new series and we expect more over the next few months while the series continues shooting. More info about the series at news.com.au.

The exciting new series Les Norton that we covered here a few weeks ago is just about to start shooting. A ton of MCTV people are heading off for Go Sees this week to have a chance to land featured or speaking roles before production starts. Once production starts, there is usually many other opportunities for background extras too.
