Earlier this week, we heard rumor that weather conditions would delay filming at Cleveland Point. Those rumors panned out, as the weather is not going to be the correct conditions to fit the sequences they need for the shots on the Dawn Treader. The Bayside Bulletin reports.
Plans for filming the next Narnia instalment at Cleveland Point have changed significantly this week, with up to a week’s delay and the removal of the grandstand from the park.
Filming of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is currently under way at the purpose-built water tank at Movie World on the Gold Coast, and progress there will now dictate whether the filming is able to be started by Thursday, September 3, or is delayed until the following week.
The grandstand erected for residents to watch the filming has also been taken down. A spokesperson on site said safety concerns had been raised when older residents who were climbing to the top of the grandstand became “unsteady”.
“The view from the grandstand was pretty well blocked by the tree anyway, so we’d suggest people bring along a picnic blanket instead!” the sopkesman said.
With filming still up to a week away, management on site are also looking at running a shuttle bus for spectators between the open grass near the Volunteer Marine Rescue (VMR) site at the corner of Shore Street and William Street, Cleveland, in order to reduce the stress on parking arrangements at the point.
