The Daily Telegraph reports

Lincoln Lewis believes the Australian film industry is "playing too safe" when it comes to local productions, saying you have to take risks to make money.

Promoting new shark horror flick Bait 3D yesterday, the young gun said it was time to step outside the box.

"In America they put a lot of money into something and most of the time it pays off," he told Confidential. "That's why I'm really stoked with Bait, because it's a mainstream film and Australia doesn't make a lot of them."

Bait - out September 20 - got a standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival.
