The new blockbuster Superman Returns, is being made down here in Sydney but for the last 4 days they have been here in Newcastle filming scenes for a bank robbery. Apparently it's about 30 seconds of actual movie footage but it's Hollywood and we get to have a sneak peak :)
It's due for release mid next year.

Here are some shots I took before the real police moved us out as they were using lots of pyrotechnics blowing up cop cars...

    How much fun would that have been to see this all coming together eek7.gif
    Geez I would have been over the moon if this was happening in my town :D
    Only time I've ever see a TV crew is at the Hospital when somethings going on over there, and at the Melbourne Zoo one time when they were checking out some baby Meerkats .

    Would have been very interesting to watch you lucky dog you rolleyes1.gif
