Well there is only so many places where one can film that looks prehistoric in the world that still has access to modern amenities. Hawaii is probably to expensive. Next would be Australia and New Zealand.

Yes, that's him. And why people keep casting him, I can't understand. He makes a block of wood look like Laurence Olivier.

I live only an hour away from where they'll be filming down at Movieworld...we've had a good history of projects with actors down here. It might be minor in terms of television, but Jessica Alba worked and lived here for two years while doing the remake Flipper tv show and we even got the over-the-top Street Fighter movie. Even the John Cena movie Marine was shot down here. Currently the non-Doctor Who related K-9 films within about ten minutes' ride by bus from my house.
There's plenty of rainforest no more than a couple of hours away, so there's tons of locations they can use. Speilberg must've been won over when he produced Band of Brothers: The Pacific out here. I'll give shout-outs if I hear about production around my area.

He's back in Australia already? Shame they aren't doing filming in Melbourne. I got a lot of money out of working on The Pacific. Free meals too.
Oooo. What'd you do on the production?

"Fox Broadcasting has today confirmed Queensland as the location of choice for 'Terra Nova'... and once again shows Queensland's ability to attract first rate productions to the state," Bligh said.
"My government provided considerable incentives through Screen Queensland to secure this production which, in turn, will generate in excess of AUS$54 million ($50 million) in economic activity and create thousands of jobs," she added.
Bligh said that around 80% of the cast and crew will be Queenslanders.
Production will be centered on locations around southeastern Queensland and at the Warner Roadshow Studios on the Gold Coast.
"We wanted this ambitious series to look like no other on television and Queensland provided the best of all possible worlds," executive vice president of production, Jim Sharp added.
"Queensland had the right look, climate and terrain, a vibrant production community and attractive economic incentives. We are very excited to be shooting our first production there."
Starring Jason O'Mara, "Terra Nova" tells a group of scientists from 2149 who travel back 85 million years to prehistoric Earth to try to save the planet that is dying from development and overcrowding.
Fox will preview the first episode of "Terra Nova" in May and then launch the 13 episode series in the fall of 2011.
