An article was published today on Stuff which explains how Mortal Engines film production qualifies for a bit of a hand out from the NZ government.
NZ gives a hand out to attract film productions to take advantage of the economic benefits.
It seems odd that ME gets it given Peter Jackson is going to only ever work in NZ as the production money is coming anyway.
There was a bit of a stoush over the production of The Hobbit and the status of contractors being classed as employees a few years ago and the American companies threatened to take it away from NZ and they simply outplayed the Government.
NE ways that's just some local history, the reason we mention the article is that it featured a great picture of Christian Rivers and Peter Jackson and producer Fran Walsh appearing to be at the start of a ceremonial welcome for the movie.
They look to be in Mirimar, Wellington so I'm going to suggest this is Stone Street where the film was shot.
Show me the money, Mr Jackson!
