 Hugo Weaving: Accused government
Hugo Weaving has lashed out at the NSW Government for failing to get the support the film industry of the state.
More news about Hugo Weaving has been inferred from quite a number of sources. As per their reports this star of the Matrix and Lord Of The Rings trilogies has expressed his views. He said that it was "a real shame" that his latest film, the underworld drama The Tender Hook directed by Jonathan Ogilvie, was being forced to finish the shooting in Melbourne despite being scheduled to set in 1920s Sydney.
"It was just financially more viable for the film-makers to switch even after having found the locations in and around Sydney that they wanted to shoot. " Yesterday Hugo Weaving has told this to the Herald's film writer, Garry Maddox.
"It would pay off to have a little bit more connection with the film industry. I think the State Government has been neglectful … probably not wilfully neglectful, just probably ignorant of film and what it can do for the industry and for the state in a broader way," added Hugo Weaving.
The film, a love triangle between a scheming boxing promoter, his glamorous girlfriend, played by Rose Byrne, and a young fighter played by Matt Le Nevez, uses archival footage for throwing glimpse of the jazz age at Sydney. The rest was shot in a Melbourne studio and various locations around the southern city.
Hugo Weaving, who is just back from filming another Australian film, The Last Ride, in South Australia, has played "a colourful Sydney businessman" in The Tender Hook, whom he compares to Abe Saffron. |
