Hugh Jackman won't be homesick when filming for The Wolverine begins as Australia has secured a deal to have part of the movie filmed in Sydney. The deal is said to worth up to $80 million to the local economy, and will generate over 2000 jobs.
"The Wolverine is expected to generate more than $80 million in production expenditure in NSW and create more than 720 jobs for NSW-based cast and crew, along with opportunities for 1200 extras," said Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner.
"It is a testament to our screen industry that Hugh Jackman and his team have chosen to come back to Australia after such a positive experience making the X-Men Origins."
Although some production work is scheduled for the US, another $10 million worth of post-production work will be done here, especially visual effects. Both state and federal government incentives were provided to bring the film to Sydney.
