Confirmed: Filming Begins

Filming begins in Adelaide next week on the new Australian feature film Elise, starring Natalie Imbruglia, in her first feature film since the 2002 hit Johnny English.


Elise is an Essential Pictures production in association with Kojo Pictures and will be filmed entirely on location in Adelaide.


Elise also stars Daniel Fredriksen (Ten Empty, Ghost Rider), Deborah Kennedy (Swimming Upstream), Tony Martin (Candy), Danielle Catanzariti (Hey, Hey it’s Esther Blueburger) and introduces newcomer Tiahn Mabarrack, who will play the young Elise.


Written and directed by James Bogle (In the Winter Dark) produced by Ben Grant and Kent Smith and executive producer Rosemary Blight (Clubland), Elise is adapted from the best selling South Australian novel Closed for Winter, by Georgia Blain. Elise is the haunting, emotional story of a woman coming to terms with tragic events from her past.


Elise is made with the assistance of the Film Finance Corporation of Australia, South Australian Film Corporation, Omnilab Media Group and Sunday Night Movies.


South Australian Film Corporation CEO, Richard Harris said, 'The SAFC is excited to be supporting the realisation of this much-loved South Australian novel onto the screen, which will once again showcase Adelaide and confirm its reputation as a world class film destination. The film has a strong creative team, an exciting cast with a refreshing combination of experience and youth, and will continue to build the capacity of the local industry.'


Goalpost Film will represent the film internationally.
