Film Victoria CEO Sandra Sdraulig confirmed today that the James Cameron 3D underwater action film SANCTUM will perform all of its post-production and visual effects in Melbourne in 2010.
Directed by Australian Alister Grierson (KOKODA) from a script penned by Aussie cave diver and documentary filmmaker, Andrew Wight and John Garvin, SANCTUM is inspired by the true story of Wight’s near-death experience leading an expedition of divers to explore a remote cave system beneath the Nullarbor Plain. A freak storm caused the cave entrance to collapse, trapping the 15 divers inside.
