It's a film about Frank Sinatra's tour of Australia in 1974. They needed an apartment to film in which had a view of the Harbour Bridge that hadn't changed since 1974, and our apartment (and the one next door) fit the bill.

They're doing most of the filming in the other apartment, since they need to make some changes to walls, etc and we couldn't authorize actual changes to our apartment, but they'll be doing some filming on our balcony as well as storing most of their equipment here.

They'll be filming a scene with Portia De Rossi (of Ally McBeal and Sirens fame) and Dennis Hopper. Don't know how long it's going to be, but the shoot is scheduled for the whole day. Melanie Griffiths is also starring in the film, but I don't think she's shooting this particular scene (damn!).

And the price to rent it out to them for one day? $2000 smackeroos, straight into the pocket!! To let them have the run of the place from 6 am to 6 pm. I'm going to be away from Sydney that day anyway so it's easy money...but I might hang around the morning (they're coming at 6 am this Saturday) to catch a glimpse and say g'day to Miss de Rossi...

How cool [img]smile.gif[/img]

Wow, thats something that doesnt happen every day! I like the sound of that $2000, I could buy a new computer with that... Ah i man can dream, a man can dream....

Wow Memnoch! That´s great! And are you getting US$? That´s a nice compensation I must say. But aren´t you going to be in the movie as a super? Couldn´t you have asked for that as well? ;) [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color="gold">$2k for renting out the apartment one day?! You're a hard dealer, Memnoch. :D
Great for you, it's not every day someone gives you $2000 for having Portia de Rossi and Dennis Hopper in your apartment... [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

Shame I can't watch the shoot, eh!! :D

Actually, they never said I couldn't watch it...but I'd imagine you couldn't stand around while people are shooting though...

Thats really great Memnoch!!!! [img]smile.gif[/img]
Maybe you could see them shooting if you try to be as invisible as possible.Sort of vanish to the background.It is worth trying at least :D
I would try :D

So is there a GST component to this service you are providing? ;)

Weeeell...they want me to produce an invoice so I guess I might have to declare it... [img]graemlins/awcrap.gif[/img]

all i can say is your a lucky man memnoch... it is not everyday you get 2000 dollars in one day doing nothing [img]smile.gif[/img]
