Baz Luhrmann heading home to Australia for Elvis movie

Creating Memphis and other key locations in Elvis’ life on the Gold Coast will be no obstacle given the celebrated director and his wife, four-time Oscar-winning production designer Catherine Martin, have created period versions of Paris (for Moulin Rouge!) and New York (for The Great Gatsby) in Sydney.
While no figures were cited in an announcement by Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, the movie will be backed by both federal and state government filmmaking incentives.
With no parallel announcement by the federal government, the biopic appears to have missed out on the cash injections that have attracted other international movies to Australia, including $24 million for what is believed to be Shang-Chi, Marvel’s first Asian superhero movie.
Queensland has been the filming location for such Hollywood productions as San Andreas, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Godzilla vs. Kong, Thor: Ragnarok, Aquaman, Kong: Skull Island and Dora and the Lost City of Gold.
