Following the news that 20th Century Fox would co-finance The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, an Australian industry insider announced yesterday that Sydney was likely to host filming of the Narnia sequel.
Queensland is also a possibility because of the water tank at the Gold Coast studios. A final decision is will be made within a month.
Voyage of the Dawn Treader was originally due to be shot in Mexico at the Baja Studios water tank where Titanic and Master And Commander were filmed. However, last month the makers pulled out due to difficult conditions including increased violence and kidnappings associated with a drug war.
