    ‘I’m sure they’re going to be as excited as they were forty years ago,’ Price responded, referring to the production of Mad Max 2, aka The Road Warrior, which took place in the same area four decades earlier. 

    ‘As much as we’ve always enjoyed Mad Max 2, with the museum here and all that sort of stuff, we are really looking forward to this new film that’s going to be done out this way,’ he said.        

    The Silverton Hotel owner stated that the production will hopefully bring much-needed tourism dollars to the region, which has suffered due to the Covid pandemic.

    ‘We’re looking forward to a big influx of tourists coming this way,’ Price continued. ‘Some of this stuff that’s going to happen next year is going to certainly bring that, I’m sure.’   

    ‘Being an Australian movie that was done 40-odd years ago, and it still generates so much interest. We’re getting people everyday coming this way to have a look at the museum.’

    Price concluded that the new film would only ‘add to all that’.
