    Default New James Cameron movie--on cave diving!

    http://moviemazz.blogspot.com/2009/1...n-project.html

    Hollywood heavyweight James Cameron's 3D underwater epic Sanctum starts filming on the Gold Coast this Friday with local and international film crews busy making final preparations.
    .
    .
    Sanctum follows a father and his teenage son as they navigate a treacherous cave-diving exploration gone wrong.
    The story is based on the near-death experience of producer Andrew Wight, whom Grierson said has brought a sense of ``realism and authenticity'' to the project.

    Land of Enchantment -- not so great for cave diving, but mighty scenic!

    I'm still waiting for the trailer they filmed with Jill Heinerth at Devil's several months ago. She described it to me and it sounds like some really kick butt footage!

    Default Trailer

    During Avatar they had some previews what showed some divers. I think at the time I had my 3 d glasses off and by the time I put them back on it was done. Did anyone else see that clip? It could a have been the Ear but it was so short and brief with out my glasses I could not see well enough.

    Here's a pic of Jill with James Cameron at Ginnie. Wes and Jill took him on his first cave dive and also shot some footage for a Sanctum camera test, trailer and pitch.

    Default Movie Locations

    It's too bad that they didn't decide to shoot at least a portion of this new film in Florida but since the story actually took place in Australia, that location makes sense.
    There'll be another film shooting in some of our Florida caves at some point, hopefully sooner than later.
    I know Ginnie was used for a fairly recent film "Sunshine State," but it was also used in the early 1980's (along with Ichetucknee's Jug Hole) for some cave diving sequences on Sean Connery's last Bond film "Never Say Never Again."
    (And then there were all of the various films through the years at Wakulla and Silver Springs.)

    Am I correct in AG was a stunt diver in the film?

    They plan on showing 12 minutes of this "pitch footage" at the premiere in Gainesville.

    Any chance they'd add that 12 minute clip to the DVD for those of us who won't be able to make it to that initial showing? Or even better, have it posted on Vimeo or something?
