Filming for the highly-anticipated Tomorrow, When The War Began sequel will start in September.
With a working title of Tomorrow 2, the film will be produced, edited and finished entirely Down Under.
The majority of the shoot will take place in New South Wales' Hunter Valley and Blue Mountains.
The original – which was last year's biggest Australian movie at the local box office taking in $13.5 million – has not landed a US distribution deal.
The sequel, which will also be written and directed by Stuart Beattie, is expected to generate more than 450 jobs and inject about $40 million into the State's economy.
More than 300 cast and crew during principal photography, hundreds of extras and an estimated 150 post production and VFX crew will be employed.
The announcement, made today, is on the back of news that Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby will be filmed in Sydney later this year.
“Tomorrow 2 will unlock a range of job opportunities – from camera operators, editors and up-and-coming young actors, to caterers, transport companies and local accommodation houses,” NSW premier Kristina Keneally said.
The NSW government secured the production through financial support from the state’s film fund.
Omnilab Media's managing director Christopher Mapp, who will also produce the sequel, said without government support, many of these jobs would be exported overseas.
“This investment allows us to keep these jobs in Australia, contribute to the local economy and helps grow and secure the future of NSW’s film industry,” Mapp said in a statement.
“In particular, support for this project has also contributed to our decision to further invest in our world-class VFX and post-production businesses, which will ensure that NSW film and television practitioners have access to the very best creative services in Australia.”

Posted by joanna.01/09/2011 07:12:40 PM
TWTWB2 won't go head this year, and probably not next year. It was held up by the new Frankenstein movie which has not yet even started production. Same director, different priorities, I guess.

The shoot has been delayed and remains in development following Stuart Beattie's decision to film I, Frankenstein instead.

Posted by vysal sith.02/02/2012 06:55:57 PM
Don't know how they are going to pull off a sequel since they messed the ending of the first so badly. would've been cheaper to kill all the characters then.
Posted by Chantal.06/02/2012 12:06:54 PM

I'm 46yrs of age & I'm an absolute movie buff, with an enormous collection. But since Tomorrow When The War Began, first came out, it still remains, mine & my sons favourite movie, of all time. Australians all over are waiting on the edge of their seats, for the sequels to come out. I can't understand why, if the first was such an Australian block buster, why the director is wasting his time, on yet another Frankenstein movie. Too many of those already. We need the fresh & exciting, not the already been done! Boring! The director needs a slap & told to wake up & get a move on, with what will make him & this fine country the bucks they forecast, from which the sequel will bring in. As well as make a large amount of the Australian population very happy! :)

OMG!! i cant wait for it to come out! me and my friend were so devostated when we heard that it was being held up. we so want to go hiking there itt seems like an amazing place. evne thought hter are all the special affects. i have been living off hte books for for about 4 moths i have already rad them 4 times and cant wait till the movie!!!!!
Posted by Cassy.24/03/2012 10:38:24 AM
LOL Joanne... Surely at 46 yrs of age you have seen "Red Dawn"! I'm not saying TWTWB is a copy, or that I dislike the movie (It's one of my absolute favorites as well) but the genre has been done before... And the grape vine is the US is doing a remake of Red Dawn because of how good TWTWB was.
Posted by Jake.12/05/2012 07:29:51 AM
Yay! Can't wait for the second movie!! The first one is my most favorite movie in the WHOLE world!! I am reading the books too and they are amazing!! Please hurry up and make the second one, I'm obsessed!!!!
Posted by Mackenzy.13/05/2012 11:22:19 AM
Bottom line is this movie going to be made and if so when, it's been almost three year's in the planning stage. I clicked the link that say's it is still in planning stage but that link has been taken down?? does anyone have an answer or a link that I could go to find out the answer's?? Right now it sound's like the goverment is involved and that will muck everything up argueing over where to film it just film for pete's sake
Posted by gary.10/07/2012 02:09:15 AM

Agreed!! I'm hanging for the sequel, the first movie was fresh, and downright exciting to watch. Can't understand why the holdup. Especially love the cast chosen!
Posted by Jessica.05/10/2012 06:40:41 PM

Just watched this movie and it was amazing. Hope they are still making tomorrow 2. But i will be devastated if the same cast isn't there.
Posted by sean.10/01/2013 10:45:10 AM
I ve read all 7 books (10 if you include the Ellie chronicles) and it would be interesting to see they portray the film compared to the books. Can't wait! I'm really happy about this good news.
Posted by Brooke.24/01/2013 08:33:59 PM
Greetings from State side, My name is Elizabeth and since seeing TWTWB, I have ordered all 7 books and have been reading them as fast as the movie, while the movie is on DVR (in the background) so I can attempt to get the ascent right. LOL I found out they are part of the curriculum in Australia, These sequels are necessary they MUST BE MADE. GET THEM DONE AND QUICK , AS FAR AS NOVEL TO MOVIE, THEY ARE FAVORITES FOR 20-45 yr. olds . They beat Harry Potter , Twilight saga, you name it. They have the potential to be huge blockbusters here in the states , Also given we all love the characters and the way they talk. Re-release the first one and have the second one already in the can. Boom, Boom, Boom, one right after the other. I'm telling you it has to happen. I feel like I am starting my own personal crusade to get everyone I know to see them I've had viewing parties at my house and we are all dying to see more. Congratulations on a job well done, just please finish it. Your fans in the U.S. Elizabeth and Co.
