Coal Creek stars
Look the part: Korumburra’s Brian Rawlins, Jeff Summer and Kevin Woods were dressed to impress as extras in a film being made at Coal Creek on Thursday.
COAL Creek once again became a stage for actors on Thursday and Sunday.
Feature movie The Stolen was filmed in the Korumburra park with a number of local actors frocking up for the World War One based production.
Around 30 local actors donned costumes to fit the period and paraded around the park.
The film follows the tale of two brothers who return from the war to find their sister has been kidnapped. Using skills they acquired in the armed forces, the brothers set out to find their sibling.
Coal Creek wasn’t the only local icon starring, with scenes also filmed at the Wonthaggi State Coal Mine and in and around Walkerville.
Film production manager Bridget Jean-Allen said filming started four years ago.
“We did some earlier scenes at Coal Creek when we first started filming,” she said.
“It is a great place for this kind of thing because the buildings fit the time of the movie.”
Coal Creek is an ever popular place for film makers with other producers currently considering it as a site for filming.
