Dead Calm

This shot reminds me of the film Dead Calm which brought Nicole Kidman to international attention.

Orson Welles originally intended to make Dead Calm and even shot some of it in the late ‘60’s (but never completed). Director/producer George Miller (Mad Max) swayed the rights from Welles’ girlfriend, Oja Kodar, and set Phillip Noyce to direct. They assembled the cast, plucking fresh-faced Kidman, who was not yet even 20 years old, to play the wife of Sam Neill who was nearly 40. After securing Billy Zane as Hughie, they set off to shoot the film in the Whitsunday Islands in the winter of 1987.

Very little time for comments this weekend, as we have family staying with us for the Easter break.

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter.
