Ryan Gosling is tipped to star in “The Fall Guy,” a feature film adaptation of the iconic 1980s TV series, that will shoot in Sydney, Australia.
The original series, which ran 1981-1986, was created by Glen A. Larson and starred Lee Majors as a Hollywood stunt man. To make ends meet, he has a side hustle as a bounty hunter.
Australian local media has extensively reported that Gosling will take up the title role.
Australia’s federal government and the New South Wales state authorities will provide finance for the Universal Filmed Entertainment Group produced film. Some A30 million (21.1 million) will come from federal sources. The state government will kick in an additional A14.5 million (10.2 million).
Federal Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts, Paul Fletcher, said the production is expected to inject more than A244 million (171 million) into the Australian economy.

With the draft amendments to the legislation that governs the Producer Offset now published, there is one issue that to date hasn’t garnered much attention. That is, the re-introduction of the 20 per cap on above-the-line fees for non-feature length documentary production.
Such a change may be potentially inadvertently discriminatory, especially for women. Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts Paul Fletcher should be looking at these impacts closely.
The issue explained
Here’s the problem: documentaries are where many women, culturally and linguistically diverse (Cald) and emerging filmmakers are working above-the-line (Atl), and where they earn their first career Atl credit.
For instance, Screen Australia analysis of industry-wide data has shown that women are proportionately better represented in key creative roles within the documentary sector than in feature film or TV drama.

“Furiosa,â€. the Anya Taylor-Joy-starring prequel to “Mad Max: Fury Roadâ€. is to receive financial incentives from federal and state governments, ensuring that production will take place in Australia. The George Miller-directed picture will shoot from June.
“The support of the Federal and New South Wales Governments were pivotal. They made it possible for the film to be greenlit, shot in Australia and for the production to be based in our home state,â€. Miller said in a statement on Monday.
“This is great news for New South Wales,â€. said state premier Glady Berejiklian in the same statement “It is expected to become the biggest film ever to be made in Australia.â€.
Despite a currency that is strengthening against the U.S. dollar, Australia is already enjoying a post-covid film and TV production boom, helped by aggressive government financing schemes, a disease that is largely in abeyance.

National Film and Sound Archive (Nfsa) CEO Jan Müller has announced his resignation after three and half years, with the executive to return to the Netherlands to be with family.
Müller was appointed to lead the Nfsa in 2017, with the board drawn to his expertise in digitisation. He joined from the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision – one of Europe’s largest audio-visual collections.
Between 2015-2017 the archivist had also been chair of the Europeana Foundation, an institute that houses over 50 million digitised items from museums, libraries, archives and collections across Europe.
During his tenure, he has led the development and implementation of the Nfsa’s strategic vision for a digital archive, and helped to secure an additional $5.5 million in funding from the Federal Government that should allow it to meet the 2025 deadline to preserve the magnetic tape collection before it is lost forever.
The executive has also prioritised public...

The government’s $50 million Temporary Interruption Fund (Tif), designed to help productions should they incur additional expenses due to Covid-related delay, has finally opened for applications.
To be administered by Screen Australia, the contingency fund should assist producers to get their projects up and financed despite the exclusion of coronavirus from insurance cover.
Under the Tif, up to 60 per cent of the total budget of a project, or $4 million (whichever is less), will be available should a Covid-19 event occur in either the last two weeks of pre-production or during principal photography.
Specifically, the cover is triggered in the instance of Covid-19-related death, injury or illness of up to 10 named individuals, limited to key cast, directors, producers and heads of department.
Tif only covers local production, or official co-productions. This includes feature films, drama series, documentary series or single episode programs that pass Screen Australia’s Significant Australian Content...
