PRODUCTION: The Timber Shooting in Romania

By Iulia Blaga

    BUCHAREST: The American mid-budget western-thriller The Timber produced by Patrick Newall, Scott Einbinder and Ana Media is currently in production in the Carpathian Mountains and at MediaPro Studios (www.mediaprostudios.com).

    "We chose Romania because of its savage mountains and spectacular locations, and also because of the professional team and the relationship we have with our trustful partner, MediaPro Studios," said Patrick Newall, who worked on One in the Chamber at MediaPro Studios in 2011.

    The script written by director Anthony O'Brien together with Colin Ossiander and Steve Allrich concerns two brothers who begin a dangerous journey in the 19th century. James Ransone and Josh Peck play the main characters. The cast includes Julian Glover, William Gaunt, David Bailie and Maria Doyle Kennedy.

    Shooting will wrap at the end of February. Phil Parmet is the DOP. MediaPro Studios is providing services.
