Netflix has roped in Victoria Justice (Afterlife of the Party, California King, Victorious) and Adam Demos (Sex/Life, Falling Inn Love) as the lead cast for its upcoming untitled romcom film. The film will be shot on location in Queensland, Australia.
The official longline for the film reads, “To land a major client, a hard-driving LA wine-company exec travels to an Australian sheep station, where she ends up working as a ranch hand and sparking with a rugged local.”
Stuart McDonald (Summer Heights High, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) is set to direct the yet to be titled Netflix film. Elizabeth Hackett and Hilary Galanoy (Love, Guaranteed, Falling Inn Love) serve as writers for it.
The Australian film is produced by Robyn Snyder, Deborah Evans, Deborah Glover, Tracey Vieira. It’s executive producers include Tracey Robertson, Nathan Mayfield, Elizabeth Hackett, Hilary Galanoy, Fernando Szew.
Queensland Government will support the film’s production and post-production through Screen Queensland’s Production Attraction Strategy. The project aims to create approximately 120 jobs for Queenslanders. The project is a part of the Government’s Economic Recovery Plan including $53 million allocated to the Production Attraction Strategy.
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said, “This new Netflix film is the latest in a string of domestic and international productions continuing to fuel the state’s screen boom which is critical to our economic recovery.”
She further added, “This project is a strong example of how our Production Attraction Strategy benefits Queensland’s local screen sector via exciting co-production arrangements for local businesses, such as Hoodlum Entertainment, one of the state’s most successful production companies.”
Netflix is yet to reveal further details about the cast, crew and release date for the romcom film.
