Foe begins production in Victoria

Amazon Studios has commenced production in Victoria on the upcoming film, Foe.

The Garth Davis-helmed sci-fi psychological thriller, written by Davis and Iain Reid, is an adaptation of Reid’s 2018 best-selling novel, and stars (pictured L to R)  Saoirse Ronan, Paul Mescal, and Aaron Pierre.

The production is supported by the Victorian Screen Incentive and the Regional Location Assistance Fund and is set to inject almost $32 million into the Victorian economy. It will create 950 jobs including four leading Head of Department roles.

Set in the near future when corporate power and environmental decay are ravaging the planet, Foe tells the story of Hen and Junior, a young, married couple living a solitary life on their isolated farm. One night, a knock on the door from a stranger named Terrance changes everything: Junior has been randomly selected to travel to a large, experimental space station orbiting Earth.

Producers include Kerry Kohansky-Roberts on behalf of AC Studios, Davis for I Am That, and Emile Sherman and Iain Canning for See-Saw Films. Executive producers include Reid, and I Am That’s Samantha Lang. Libby Sharpe will co-produce for I Am That and See-Saw Films.
