Hollywood in the Derwent Valley

SCENES for the new movie The Hunter have been shot in the Derwent Valley this week. Locations at Maydena and the nearby Florentine Valley were filmed early in the week, before production shifted to Mt Wellington, where lead actor Willem Dafoe appeared in the swirling snow. Also in the movie are New Zealand actor Sam Neill and female lead Frances O'Connor. The psychological thriller will tell the story of a hunt for the Tasmanian tiger. The ABC has more here as does the Mercury newspaper here.
