Testimonial by Rob Cowan ‘Producer’
“It was great to come back to film at the Village Roadshow studios on the Gold Coast. As soon as I got involved on Aquaman there was only one place I wanted to make the film- Village Roadshow.
It gave us everything we needed - 9 stages- two outdoor water tanks and an indoor tank where we sank a submarine. We even built an Italian Village on a hillside behind the studios. LYNNE Benzie and her team make everything easy and they are so accommodating.
We really could not have made the film anywhere else in the world.”
