The Daily Telegraph reports
Brad Pitt has scotched any suggestion he will be filming in Australia for David Fincher's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
But the Hollywood superstar said he will be making a movie here soon, especially if the Australian government provides the right incentive. "I'm coming for something," Pitt told Confidential.
"We are migratory workers, we go where it takes it and it is just not out of the question. We tend to go where the rebates are and where you can film the cheapest and a lot of stuff is going to the UK right now, that is how the business works."
Pitt spoke as he walked the red carpet at Sydney's The Star complex to promote his new film World War Z, an apocalyptic action blockbuster.
Despite months of rumours, Pitt said he would not be starring in 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, slated to film on the Gold Coast this year.
"David Fincher is developing that and it's really good," he said. "I've seen the visuals but that's not me. I'm not coming for that."
Pitt's wife Angelina Jolie bravely revealed last month she'd undergone treatment for breast cancer, including an operation for a double mastectomy. Jolie stayed home in the US but Pitt is travelling with son Pax, flying into Sydney on a private jet yesterday morning with the film's director Marc Forster.
Pitt said the film fuses action sequences and intimate moments as his character Gerry Lane travels the world searching for an answer to a zombie pandemic.
"It is fun, that is what we set out to make and not give you a break until the movie is over," Pitt said.
"At the same time it is grounded in the same way that some filmgoers aren't accustomed to and that is the family issue. It becomes very intimate. It is something that is so global and then you juxtapose it with these little intimate moments and that is why it works really well."
He added that World War Z tapped into the universal fear of an apocalyptic crisis. Among the celebrities walking the red carpet were Nikki Phillips, Gigi Edgeley, Reece Mastin, Rhiannon Fish and Samantha Armytage.
