South Australia’s Adelaide Studios will house upcoming sci-fi thriller Mother with production scheduled for later this year. The project continues the Studio’s reputation for thriller projects since opening in 2011 with the production of award-winning The Babadook.

“Adelaide Studios are the perfect facility to host the 90% studio-based production where we know the creative team for Mother can deliver a truly unique world,” said SAFC CEO Annabelle Sheehan.

Based on an original concept by Australian director Grant Sputore and writer Michael Lloyd Green, the script was one of the most sought after on the 2016 Black List. A thought-provoking sci-fi thriller that brings a dark and electrifying edge to this unique mother-daughter story.
