Roberts and Clooney began filming the rom-com last month, which is shooting on the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Hamilton Island.

The Oscar winner, who has been married to US cinematographer Daniel Moder since 2002, was just last week spotted shopping in Burleigh’s trendy James Street precinct with a bodyguard in tow.

It is understand Moder, 52, stayed home in California with the couple’s three teenage children.

Directed by Ol Parker (Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again), Ticket to Paradise is to feature Clooney and Roberts as a divorced couple who rush to Bali to stop their adult daughter from getting married.

Clooney and creative partner Grant Heslov are on board as producers, as well as Roberts, Bevan, Eric Fellner, Sarah Harvey, Deborah Balderstone, Lisa Gillan and Marisa Yeres Gill.

The production is expected to inject $47 million in the local economy, according to the Federal Government. Ticket to Paradise will benefit from a $6.4 million location incentive grant.
