Hollywood star Liam Neeson is heading back to Victoria this month to film the sequel to action thriller The Ice Road with the production set to inject more than $30 million into the state’s economy.
The Gippsland town of Walhalla will provide the backdrop for the sequel, Ice Road 2:Road to the Sky, which follows Neeson’s character Mike McCann on a high-octane adventure through Nepal’s treacherous mountainscape.
The original, filmed in the Canadian city of Manitoba in 2021, debuted Neeson’s character as a ‘big rig’ ice road driver leading a rescue mission over a frozen lake to save a group of trapped miners.
