Josh in costume for Singularity

A LITTLE piece of Hollywood has come to Brisbane in the form of screen stars Josh Hartnett and Bond girl Olga Kurylenko.

Hartnett, who has starred in major blockbusters including Pearl Harbour and Black Hawk Down was on set at Old Government House at Gardens Point yesterday for the first day of shooting, as shown in this exclusive photo.

The joint UK/Australian project titled Singularity, is being helmed by Killing Fields director Roland Joffe.

A host of Aussie actors including Bille Brown and Claire van der Boom are also in the cast, as is Bollywood superstar Bipasha Basu.

Grant Bradley from Queensland-based production company Limelight International said the shoot would last until the end of January.

"We're based at the Village Roadshow (Movie World) studios at the Gold Coast and shooting at Mt Tamborine and the hinterland," Bradley said.

"After Christmas we will be back in Brisbane again shooting Brisbane locations.

"We chose to shoot in Brisbane because it's got a great look."

The film tells the story of a marine archaeologist, (Hartnett), who undertakes a dangerous dive to save his trapped wife while exploring a wrecked British merchant ship on Queensland's Great Barrier Reef.

But the film transports the viewer back in time to British colonial India in 1778 and the days of the First Anglo-Maratha War.
