The upcoming Mortal Kombat movie will be filmed and produced in Australia. It's announced today that the action movie will be the largest ever film production for South Australia.
Premier Steven Marshall made the announcement today and said it was expected to inject $70 million into the South Australian economy.
He said it would also create 580 jobs, as well as 1,500 roles as extras on the film.
The Warner Brothers action film is based on the blockbuster video game franchise from the 1990s.
"We think this is a great investment because we know that this blockbuster is going to create massive job opportunities for our sector," he said.
"I think this will take the industry to the next level and enable us to bring more and more of these blockbusters here to our state."
Mr Marshall said he hoped having such a big film produced in the state would open the door for more opportunities in the sector in the future
The new Mortal Kombat film, which has been in development for a long time, will be directed by Australian commercials director Simon McQuoid who is making his directorial debut with the project. Aquaman director James Wan is producing.
