Roxburgh, O’Connor star in UK-New Zealand co-production ICE

The UK’s Power and New Zealand’s Screentime, both predominantly
television companies, have teamed to produce the disaster epic Ice, set
in 2020.

The film is based on the book by James Follett, directed by the UK’s
Nick Copus (The Day Of the Triffids) and stars Australian actors Richard
Roxburgh and Frances O’Connor as the scientists at the heart of the
story.

Other UK actors in the cast are Claire Forlani, Ben Cross, Simon Callow
and Patrick Bergin. New Zealander Sam Neill also has a key role.

Ice draws on worldwide fears about climate change to tell a story of
devastation and panic after a glacier in Greenland melts due to the
actions of an energy company.

The film’s status as an official UK/New Zealand co-production makes it
eligible to claim incentives in both countries, including 40% off its
New Zealand costs under the relatively new Screen Production Incentive
Fund.

Filming began in September to take advantage of winter snow, then the
film went into a hiatus during which Stephen Moyer (True Blood) joined
the cast. It will continue through until late November.

The film is produced by Ric Pellizzeri and executive produced by Power
chief executive Justin Bodle, Power head of production Ewa Radwanska and
Screentime New Zealand head of production Philly de Lacey. Director of
photography Richard Bluck worked on second unit on both King Kong and
The Lord of the Ringst trilogy.

The NZ arm of Screentime, which is headquartered in Sydney, Australia,
began life as Communicado, which made a number of features, including
Once Were Warriors.

Screentime principal Bob Campbell said the opportunity to be involved in
Ice came through Power and it would be wrong to read too much into it in
terms of the direction of the company: “Our lives are pretty busy with
television,� he told Screendaily.com.

Last week Screen announced that another New Zealand/UK co-production,
Tracker, had started production last week and is also expected to claim
back 40% of its productions costs under the Screen Production Incentive
Fund.

Tracker is a period thriller stars Ray Winstone and Temuera Morrison and
is being directed by Ian Sharp

David Burns and Trevor Haysom are producing for Eden Films and T.H.E.
Film in association with Phoenix Wiley & Liberty Films.
