Thor and Alien Set Sail for Australian Production in 2016

HaydnSpurrell HaydnSpurrell The next sequel to Thor, Thor: Ragnarok, as well as Ridley Scott's forthcoming Alien installment, will both be filmed in Australia next year.

The Australian government offered AU$47 million of investment to secure both projects, announced by foreign minister Julie Bishop on Thursday.

Bishop has said that the two films will add offshore investment of over $216 million to the economy, on top of providing 3000 jobs to Australians.

Thor: Ragnarok is expected to be films at the Village Roadshow Studios on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Fox Studios Australia, based in Sydney, are likely candidates for the Alien project. There is no official word on where the two productions will be set at this stage.

Bishop was forward about her attempts to bring major film productions to Australian shores, and with Pirates of the Caribbean 5 completing shooting back in August, it seems like exciting and opportune times for the Australian film industry.
