Victoria Justice and Adam Demos cast in new Netflix movie filming in Queensland

Australian Sex Life star Adam Demos will play a sheep station worker opposite Hollywood star Victoria Jusice in a new Netflix movie set to film in Queensland this month

Hollywood actor Victoria Justice will link up with Sex Life star Adam Demos on a new Netflix movie filming in Queensland.

The currently untitled film, announced by the global streaming giant today, will be shot on location in the Gold Coast Hinterland from late August after receiving funding through Screen Queensland’s Production Attraction Strategy.

It will follow Justice as a Los Angeles wine-company executive who travels to an Australian sheep station to land a major client and ends up working as a ranch hand and sparking with a rugged local, played by Demos.

Justice, who has 20.6m Instagram followers, stars in Netflix series Afterlife of the Party while Australia’s Demos reached global success through his recent role on the platform’s popular show Sex Life.

The film will employ 120 Queenslanders and continues Netflix’s investment in the state, with Escape From Spiderhead filming on the Gold Coast late last year and True Spirit currently underway in the city.

“This new Netflix film is the latest in a string of domestic and international productions continuing to fuel the state’s screen boom which is critical to our economic recovery,” Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said.

“Screen is a major industry in our state and my Government’s recently announced $71 million boost as part of our Economic Recovery Plan, including $53 million to the Production Attraction Strategy, will ensure that the current pipeline of production continues for years to come, for the benefit of our expert local cast and crew.”

The film is produced by Brisbane’s Hoodlum Entertainment, known for series Five Bedrooms and Harrow.

It comes after Screen Queensland announced Acorn TV series Darby and Joan, starring Bryan Brown and Greta Scaachi, would also film on location in regional and rural Queensland following Government support.

It will inject $6.6 million into the economy and create 95 jobs.

“Looking forward to working with Greta Scacchi on Darby and Joan. Terrific story and we get to show off beautiful Queensland. Fun all round,” Brown said.
