Here’s a bit of local entertainment news:

It is being reported that the new NBC TV series “Robinson Crusoe” is about to start production in South Africa.

“Sam Neill, Sean Bean, Philip Winchester, Joss Ackland and Anna Walton will be in South Africa between June and October filming a new Robinson Crusoe TV series. The series which is written by Stephen Gallagher and directed by Duane Clark will play out in one of South Africa’s most beautiful nature reserves and filming is scheduled between June - October 2008.

The NBC premiere has been confirmed for October 17 from 8-10pm. ”

Good news for both local and international readers is that the series will be broadcast over the internet, so for a change we will get to watch the content that was filmed in our country. I wonder if someone has told NBC they should broadcast it to mobile handsets, I am sure many South Africans and others will pay a few bucks to watch a great series via their mobile handsets.

Seeing that the South African set is located within walking distance from my home I will pop down every now and then and see if I can snap a few pictures.

This is the location where alot of the action will be filmed.
