Iconic Aussie pub transformed for new Jacob Elordi miniseries
An iconic Australian country pub in a tiny town in NSW got a taste of Hollywood when it became a film set for Jacob Elordi 's new hit show The Narrow Road to the Deep North. Situated in the Southern Tablelands, 322km from Sydney, the Captains Flat Hotel features in the hard-hitting Amazon Prime Video miniseries. The Narrow Road to the Deep North tracks an army surgeon's torment over his past while he struggles in a Thai-Burmese prisoner of war camp during World War II. According to WIN Canberra, the beautifully maintained heritage pub was selected by the show's creators for 'historical authenticity'. Producers slipped into Captains Flat, which as a population of 491, in late 2023 for filming and many locals joined the cast as extras. WIN also shared a selfie of Hollywood star Jacob, 27, dressed as his character in the show - a Major in the Australian Army. Other photos shared by WIN include one of the cast members dressed in 1940s costumes enjoying a meal between filming scenes. The Narrow Road to the Deep North received critical acclaim after it dropped on Amazon Prime Video on April 18. Jacob, who rose to fame in the drama Euphoria and the controversial film Saltburn, plays Dorrigo Evans, a prisoner of war in a Japanese prison camp during WWII. The story, based on the novel by Richard Flanagan, spans decades and also deals with a love affair between Elordi's character and his uncle's wife, played by Australian actress Odessa Young. Famed Irish actor Ciarán Hinds plays Dorrigo as an older man in the series. Elordi has also been busy filming a movie adaptation of Wuthering Heights with fellow Australian Margot Robbie, 34. In preparation for his role as Heathcliff, the actor revealed unruly locks and very long and bushy sideburns as he posed on the red carpet at the 75th Berlinale International Film Festival in Berlin in February. Filming for Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights has been ramping up lately, with Margot seen donning a dramatic wedding gown while strolling across the misty Yorkshire Moors. Filming began in January and it is slated for a release date of February 2026. Margot and Jacob are familiar with each other after recently starring in a short film See You at 5, directed by Call Me by Your Name's Luca Guadagnino, for a Chanel No. 5 campaign. The Aussie star recently gushed about Jacob in an interview with Harper's Bazaar, saying: 'He's wonderful. And as you said, I worked with him on Saltburn in a producer-actor capacity. 'So I haven't shared the screen with him before, but I know I've seen him on set, I've been around him on set, and he's just—he's got an incredible presence. 'He's a movie star—he's got that charisma. He holds a frame. He's also really lovely and from the same state that I'm from in Australia. We're about an hour away from each other, but he's from Brisbane, and I'm from the Gold Coast. 'Even though the whole point of our film is that we cross paths and miss each other, it still felt like we did the campaign together.' Wuthering Heights fans were puzzled by the casting choice when the duo were announced for the new adaptation. They noted that Catherine, who is no older than 19 in the novel, is being played by 34-year-old Margot.

Deadline Journalist & Film Sales Agent Attacked In Separate Incidents During Berlin Film Festival
A Deadline journalist was physically assaulted yesterday evening [Saturday 15] while attending the Berlin Film Festival. Matt Carey, our Documentary Editor, who is in town to cover and moderate panels for the festival's documentary strand, was kicked and punched repeatedly in an unprovoked attack on Leipziger Strasse, near the Mall Of Berlin and the festival's main hub of Potsdamer Platz. More from Deadline 'Dreams' Review: Jessica Chastain Plays The Ice Princess In Michel Franco's Skewering Of Woke Hypocrisy - Berlin Film Festival 'The Narrow Road to the Deep North' Review: Justin Kurzel's Atmospheric Series Tells An Immersive Story Of Wartime Trauma - Berlin Film Festival Jacob Elordi Talks Extreme Weight Loss On Burma POW Camp Drama 'The Narrow Road To The Deep North': "It Was A Very Calming Experience" Also yesterday evening, at a similar time, a female film sales agent was aggressed by a group of youths while walking through Elise Tilse Park, between the Movenpick Hotel and Hotel London, a few minutes walk from Potsdamer Platz. Matt was on his way to a dinner at around 7.30pm when the attack took place. According to Matt, a group of around 8-10 youths, described as likely in their teens, initially threw a hard, icy snowball at him. When he turned around to ask them to stop, the group rounded on him and began to kick and punch him, forcing him to the floor and damaging his glasses. After the initial attack, Matt crossed the road to a busier part of the street where he noticed a woman had fallen on the ice and was in need of help. As Matt tried to help the woman, members of the group returned, and in a video captured by the public and posted below, one can be seen repeatedly kicking Matt until he is pulled away and chased by members of the public. Little is known about the attackers, though one can be clearly seen in the video. There is no suggestion they are connected to the festival. In the video, one of the group speaks in Arabic, asking his friend to stop kicking our colleague. He also swears in French. Matt, a respected veteran journalist on the documentary scene, was left shaken and bruised (as seen in the two images below) by the incident but didn't need to go to hospital. He filed an online police report last night but has yet to hear from the authorities. We have called the Berlin police office but haven't been able to speak to anyone. The festival has reached out to Matt and told us it is in contact with the police but it's not yet clear whether there is an investigation underway. Festival organizers said: 'Tricia Tuttle and the entire Berlinale team are shocked by the incident that happened to Deadline journalist Matt Carey on the streets of Berlin last night. We are all concerned for his welfare. 'We immediately reached out to Matt personally to offer our undivided support, both personally in what is a very difficult and frightening situation. Our team are in now in touch with the police and will support Matt as he seeks a full and swift investigation by the police.' The international film sales agent, who preferred us not to name her, told us that she was walking with a friend to a work dinner when she was hit on the side of the head by an icy snowball, which cut her ear. The group of 6-8 youths then walked towards her in what she describes as a menacing fashion, hurling more snowballs. Most of the group had covered faces, some wore balaclavas. The executive was unable to run due to a prior injury so crouched down and began to scream, as did her friend, who also tried to film the incident. She says the group were holding bottles and insulted and threatened them in English. Once the executives told the group they were calling the police they moved away. The film exec detailed what happened to local police who came to her hotel. The police noted that there have been other incidents in the area and that the park was a blindspot from cameras. It's unclear whether the two incidents we've reported on above were carried out by the same group. At Deadline, this is the first instance we've heard of delegates being attacked during the Berlin Film Festival. There have been multiple examples of crime reported during the Cannes Film Festival in the past. According to the Berlin police website, if anyone encounters violence in the city they should 'stay alert, not react to provocation, walk away, draw attention to your situation by using your voice, ask for help, approach bystanders, and always call the police emergency number 110.'
