Ottos team up for Aussie film
Mon Oct 26, 2009

Father and daughter acting talents Barry and Miranda Otto will star together in the new Australian film, South Solitary.

Written and directed by Shirley Barrett (Love My Way, Love Serenade), the film follows Meredith (Miranda Otto), a 35-year-old unmarried woman who arrives at a remote lighthouse island in 1928 with her uncle and new head keeper (Barry Otto).

Bad weather and misadventure leave her marooned with her only companion - the sullen and withdrawn assistant keeper Fleet, played by Marton Csokas (Romulus My Father).

A tender, faltering courtship ensues.

Shooting on South Solitary has started in southern Victoria and will continue over the next six weeks at Cape Nelson and Cape Otway.

The feature is produced by Marian Macgowan (Two Hands, Death Defying Acts) and Miranda Culley (Catch A Fire), with Sarah Radclyffe (The Edge Of Love, Les Miserables) as executive producer.

News from "The Tree" - Marton new movie

2009-10-25T22:12:13Z

Movie crew filming in Warwick

MOVIE scouts arrived here last year in search of a towering tree and failed to find what they were looking for but they did discover a timber trestle bridge.

Yesterday they returned with a cast of internationally recognised actors and a 70-strong crew to film scenes from the art house movie The Tree under the railway bridge on the Old Allora-Warwick Road.

Location manager Peter Lawless, who was the Australian scout for the recently released Mao's Last Dancer, said our bridge was perfect for the movie.

“Why Warwick? Well the city had a great timber trestle bridge on a line which could be temporarily controlled in a location that lent itself to this film,” Mr Lawless explained.

“We also shot some scenes on Warwick's pedestrian bridge over the old railway line.”

In fact so impressed was the renowned location scout with our city he went as far as recommending it for the movie's central township.

“But, unfortunately, Warwick was a little too majestic and large for our producer,” he said.

The French-Australian production has been based at Boonah.

The film tells the story of an eight-year-old girl, who loses her beloved father, and comes to believe his spirit, lives in the high branches of their Moreton Bay Fig.

Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) economic development officer John Randall said having movie scenes filmed here boosted the local psyche.

“It's great for everyone; we all walk a little taller after something like this,” he said.

In response to the interest from film-makers he said the SDRC was in the process of developing specific procedures to ensure they were “film friendly”.

The Tree stars Charlotte Gainsbourg, who played the wife of Sean Penn in 21 Grams alongside Marton Csokas, from Lord of the Rings fame, and Aden Young, who recently starred in Mao's Last Dancer.

The film is expected to be released next year.

To date there is no talk of an advance screening in the Rose City to get a glimpse of our railway bridge in all its glory

Marton Filming

IT might not have the grandeur of Baz Luhrmann’s epic film Australia, shot in Bowen, but an Australian/French film has Ipswich in the grip of movie fever.

The cast and crew of The Tree, starring Cannes Film Festival award-winning actress Charlotte Gainsbourg, have made Ipswich their home while shooting takes place in and around Boonah.

On Monday, Rosewood residents enjoyed their fair share of celebrity spotting when the first full-day shoot took place at the Rosewood Hotel.

The Tree, also starring Marton Csokas who played Lord Celeborn in Lord of the Rings and Aden Young in Lucky Country, is the story of eight-year-old Simone who believes her dead father’s spirit has taken up residence in a Moreton Bay fig tree on the family property. Australian co-producer Sue Taylor said production started in Boonah in mid-August, with cast and crew spending much of their leisure time in Ipswich.

“A lot of our people have young children so they have taken them to the (Workshops Rail) museum and really enjoyed it,” she said.

Another movie 4 Marton --- The Tree

2009-08-25T12:56:30Z

GAINSBOURG is in Australia and began filming the Australian-French co-production, The Tree, in Queensland this week. It is the second film from writer-director Julie Bertucelli, whose Since Otar Left won the Critics' Week Grand Prize at Cannes in 2004.

Starring opposite Gainsbourg are Marton Csokas and Aden Young, with newcomer Morgana Davies, Penne Hackforth-Jones, Gillian Jones, Arthur Dignam and Tom Russell. The Tree is adapted from Judy Pascoe's book, Our Father Who Art in the Tree, about an eight-year-old (Davies) who believes her dead father's spirit lives among the branches of a Moreton Bay fig.
Filming is due to start this week in the small town of Boonah, south of Ipswich

The film will be released later this year. It premiered at the Cannes film festival in May, where the ecumenical jury gave it a special "anti-award" for its misogyny, while the festival jury named Gainsbourg the festival's best actress.

The Boys R Back - Trailer

In the latest from Shine director Scott Hicks, which is based on Simon Carr’s 2001 memoir The Boys Are Back In Town, Clive Owen plays Joe Warr, a successful sports writer who tragically loses his wife and is forced to raise their young son alone. He imports in his teenager from a previous marriage, who has presumably been living with his mother, to help out. It looks like a bit of a tearjerker (in fact, Owen cries twice in the trailer), but it’s nice to see him in more of an everyday, family drama instead of a period piece or heist flick, don’t you think

Down the hole ...Marton in Alice

2009-06-30T13:21:42Z

It's a case of curiouser and curiouser in the career of Kiwi actor Marton Csokas.

His Hollywood kickoff was playing the role of Celeborn, husband of elf queen Galadriel (Cate Blanchett), in The Lord of the Rings and now he has a part in Johnny Depp's movie Alice in Wonderland.

The film, directed by Tim Burton, has a star-studded cast including Depp as The Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter playing the Red Queen, Anne Hathaway the White Queen, Christopher Lee the Jabberwock and Stephen Fry the Cheshire Cat.

Last week, backer Walt Disney issued the first photographs from the film due out in March next year showing Depp, Bonham Carter, Hathaway, and a relative newcomer Australian Mia Wasikowska, who plays Alice.

Csokas, who first came to notice when he played bumbling doctor Leonard Dodds in Shortland Street during the 90s, plays 19th-century writer Charles Kingsley in the film.

Worth noting is that the list of supporting actors in this beast has real depth: Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall, Crispin Glover, Marton Csokas, Stephen Fry, Christopher Lee, Michael Sheen, Tim Pigott-Smith, and Lindsay Duncan. Oh My!
