Australia became the new Hollywood during the Covid-19 pandemic, as major movie studios move their productions to Bass.
And now another production is coming up behind us: the romantic comedy Ticket to Paradise, starring Julia Roberts and George Clooney.
Oscar winners will begin shooting the film on the Whitsunday Islands in Queensland later this year, reports The Daily Telegraph.

Julia, 53, and George, 59, play a divorced couple who travels to Bali, Indonesia, to save their daughter from making the same mistake they made 25 years ago.
The production received $ 6.4 million from the Australian government as part of a location incentive program.
“I am delighted to support Ticket to Paradise with a $ 6.4 million grant as part of our successful Location Incentive Program,” said Paul Fletcher, Minister of Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts.

In return, the film is expected to generate $ 47 million for the local economy and create more than 270 jobs.
George will arrive in Australia later this year, but it is believed that Julia is already in the country filming another project.
She is scheduled to star in the political thriller Gaslit, about the Watergate scandal, alongside Sean Penn and Joel Edgerton.
