U.S. Producer's Plans For
3 Films Here
*
American film producer Mr. Joseph Kaufman said yesterday that he planned to make three "very big" CinemaScope films in Aus- tralia in the next two years.
Mr. Kaufman has just fin- ished the film "Long John Silver" at Pagewood Studios, at a cost of about £500,000.
He leaves for the United States to-morrow to arrange world distribution for the film, which will have its world premiere in Sydney at Christ-
mas.
Mr. Kaufman said he had arranged for an option on the Pagewood Studios for two
years.
His company, Treasure Island Productions, planned to spend about £100,000 on new stages and equipment.
