Movie goers across the ditch will be treated to some of the Wakatipu's stunning scenery over the coming weeks as movie-goers head to cinemas across Australia to see 'Any Questions for Ben?' a new comedy from the creators of Australian hits 'The Castle' and 'The Dish'. Queenstown has a cameo role in the film featuring a star-studded cast of young Australians which includes Josh Lawson, Rachael Taylor and Daniel Henshall. Scenes shot in and around the resort captured the cosmopolitan buzz of Queenstown and include images of Lake Wakatipu, alpine scenery, skiing and bungy jumping. The film's distributor Roadshow Films expects it to be a blockbuster across Australia which can only mean good things for the resort. Producer Michael Hirsh was highly complimentary of Queenstown and Destination Queenstown CEO Tony Everitt said the project was a fantastic opportunity to reach a broad Australian audience. We look forward to seeing more Australians at Gateway in 2012!
