Superbloke

Superman Returns is currently being filmed in the "town" of Breeza outside Tamworth, Australia. I guess they couldn't find a place in the U.S. sufficently in the middle of nowhere to shoot Superman's early days on the Kent family farm. There was a hilarious series of interviews with the residents of Breeza (all 5 of them) last night on television - none of them seemed particularly impressed by the events or by the potential for celebrities in their midst. But given that the general store closed several years ago, I don't think Breeza's inhabitants have much exposure to Hollywood. The more urban Tamworth, however, is quite excited - they've been doing brisk business in crane and construction equipment rentals.
