Hollywood comes to Foxton

A graphic view captured by Chris Coad of the American style gas station movie set that was constructed on Motuiti Rd just north of Foxton for the 2001 released film, When Strangers Appear, that was shot in and around Foxton during April-June 2000.

 

"When Strangers Appear" is a psychological thriller that stars Radha Mitchell ("Pitch Black," "High Art"), Barry Watson (TV's "Seventh Heaven") and Josh Lucas ("The Deep End").

When Beth (Mitchell) opens her remote roadside diner, she expects another slow day. But almost immediately, Jack (Watson), a handsome drifter burst in, bleeding and on the run. Within moments, the three surfers Jack claims are chasing him appear and the stage is set for a deadly game of cat and mouse as Beth must decide whom to trust and whom to fear. The film features the single 'Calling On' from Weta in its soundtrack.hiiginally titled

The film’s budget was $3 million and was shot entirely in Foxton during April-June 2000.
