Major Films being Shot in Cape Town
South Africa is becoming the hot spot for film production in 2009. The Cape Film Commission (CFC) has announced that several international superstars will be traveling to the area to film over the next year. Stars headed to Cape Town include Matt Damon and former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan.
Cape Town has been working for several years to attract film productions. 2009 is shaping up to be a landmark year, with at least seven major films being shot for both Hollywood and Bollywood in and around the city. There is even a major animated film in development that could begin production in the near future.
Celebrities are expected to flock to the city for next year’s FIFA World Cup and many have been spotted already scouting out five star Cape Town hotels and attending sporting events.
Brosnan is scheduled to star in “Heaven and Earth,” a film about the first governor of the Cape set in the 1800s. It is likely to shoot footage at the Castle of Good Hope and other historic sites around the city.
Damon will star with Morgan Freeman in chronicling the Rugby World Cup in 1995, which was won by South Africa. The film will be directed by Clint Eastwood.
