<v Speaker 1>Five hundred people are working on his new movie, which

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:18.760
<v Speaker 1>is incredible. Here are some of the clips about it

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 1>that we went around in Australia yesterday. Drivers on the

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Calder Freeway are in for a surprise tonight with a

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 1>section of the road shut down for a Hollywood film shoot.

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 2>This is incredible.

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 3>They love actually and Taken Star has been in Melbourne

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 3>for the past couple of weeks filming his latest thriller

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 3>action film, The Mongoose. He's been here in Elfinstone or

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 3>right throughout the day filming a highway chase scene which

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 3>did force the Colder Freeway to close.

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.039
<v Speaker 1>Now apparently it's a big sort of chase movie, so

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 1>this scene is key. It's the big sort of action piece.

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 3>It's a critical part of the film, which Senter's on.

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 3>Neeson's character, a war veteran accused of a crime he

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 3>did not commit, leading police on a televised cross country

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 3>car chase. Great news for film fans, not so much

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 3>for travelers though.

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm deferent to see the film. Waited it.

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:10.959
<v Speaker 1>And also you get this ridiculous thrill spotting local locations

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:14.519
<v Speaker 1>on TV show. Oh that's the coffee shop there, anyone

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 1>will They're going to make so much money just from

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Australians here in Melbourne, right, just to go and see

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>bits of the Calder Freeway and the Castle Main CBD

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>bad news.

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, did they warn anyone?

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>You know sometimes they say major roadworks on the thirty first?

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Was there any countdown that the mongoose is coming to

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 1>the Golder Freeway?

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Was he signing autographs if people stuck in traffic?

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 3>Motorists are being told to expect delays of up to

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 3>thirty minutes for their journey.

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 2>This is my favorite bit. If you use Melbourne roads regularly,

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 2>I kind of do.

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.359
<v Speaker 1>The potholes here are like anything I've ever experienced in

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 1>the world. It's like driving a moon buggy in your

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>car and the various potholes of Melbourne trying to fight

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>film a Hollywood chasing where they get the stunt drivers

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:56.079
<v Speaker 1>that were going at high speed.

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.520
<v Speaker 3>And today we did learn that the government was concerned

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 3>the state of Victoria's it might be a problem for

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 3>the movie cruise. They sent repair cruise.

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh great, well, now I just moan about my roads

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>around my way. So there's a major the mongoose is

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 1>filming around here.

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:13.639
<v Speaker 2>Please Liam come and film.

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:18.919
<v Speaker 1>Oh we can't have a Hollywood star crashing around into

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>one of those craters that are everywhere.

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:22.239
<v Speaker 2>That is incredible.

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 3>And today we did learn that the government was concerned

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.360
<v Speaker 3>the state of Victoria's roads might be a problem for

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 3>the movie Cruise. They sent repair Cruise here ahead of

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 3>time to fix the potholes.

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 1>You can imagine currently working through Liam Neeson is coming

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>filled these potholes in So if there's five hundred people

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>working on this movie and Liam Neeson's been here for

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks, odds on, just like Shark and

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 1>well week, you know where, we've got listeners in various

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>places and do different things. Yesterday we've been just doing

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 1>a phone and actually Shark and the Shark story yesday

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>came from a guy who'd been a key grip and

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>a former child star of Home and Away who was

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>actually calling us from the location of Home. Someone who

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.559
<v Speaker 1>listens to this show must be working on that movie.
