The New Tomorrow To Be Filmed In New Zealand?!?!

Oh er, according to a new article out today, The New Tomorrow will be filmed in New Zealand, not Australia!

Mr Raymond Thompson has said, according to the article, the main reason The New Tomorrow was being filmed in Lower Hutt (New Zealand) and not Brisbane (Australia) was because he was spending a lot of time in Wellington and at a Martinborough vineyard he had bought.

It’s alright for some! ;)

Cloud 9 to Produce Sequel Series to The Tribe

WELLINGTON, March 22: Following commissions from Australia’s Seven Network and U.K.’s FIVE, Cloud 9 has greenlit The New Tomorrow, a 26×30 sequel to tween series The Tribe. Global distribution rights will be handled by Southern Star International.

The sci-fi adventure series is currently at script stage, with production scheduled to start in April and delivery due from September 2005. The series will be filmed and produced by Cloud 9 in Australasia.

“The New Tomorrow interweaves a range of provocative social and environmental issues, and a range of elements which children can relate to–reflecting their young lives–in a very entertaining way,” said Raymond Thompson, Cloud 9’s founder/chairman and the program’s creator/writer. “We are delighted to have the support of Janine Faithfull from the Seven Network and Nick Wilson from Five, and we are confident that our international distribution partner, Southern Star International, will allow us to extend The Tribe franchise to a new generation of young fans around the world.’’

The New Tomorrow starts from the same premise as The Tribe–a world with no adults in which children have to re-create their own society–and tackles similar themes of survival, ambition, friendship and loyalty. However, it is aimed at a younger audience, 8-12 year olds, and has a new cast.

Added Southern Star International CEO Catherine Payne, “The New Tomorrow has strong potential based on the fantastic international success of The Tribe, which has been licensed to over 40 broadcasters worldwide.”

Tribe Sequel Picked Up By Five & Seven : by Jules Grant
18 Mar 2005

Cloud 9 Entertainment’s sequel to futuristic teen drama The Tribe has been greenlit after two major broadcast commissions from UK terrestrial Five and Seven Network Australia.

The New Tomorrow (26×30?), a children’s sci-fi adventure series, is currently at the script stage, with production due to start in April. It will be delivered from September 2005. The series will be filmed and produced by Cloud 9 throughout Australasia. Southern Star will distribute the series, following a deal to distribute Cloud 9’s catalogue in January.

The new series starts from the same premise as The Tribe – a world with no adults, in which children have to re-create their own society. The new version will be aimed at a younger audience of 8-12 year olds.

The new version of the series sees three main tribes of children: The Barbs, a primitive bunch of kids; The Ants, a disparate bunch of children hanging on to the past; and The Privileged, described as a “slightly decadent, hedonistic gang”.

In contrast to The Tribe’s disused shopping mall setting, The New Tomorrow’s backdrop is snow-capped mountains, streams and rolling landscape. The show will transmit on Seven Network and Five’s Shake strand in Autumn. The original has been licensed to over 40 worldwide broadcasters.

Cloud 9 is behind hits including The Adventures of Swiss Family Robinson and the Enid Blyton Secret Series. Its ceo Raymond Thompson is the exec producer of Cloud 9’s portfolio, with previous credits including the BBC’s 1985 drama Howard’s Way.

Cloud 9 wound down its London-based distribution arm Cumulus in November 2004 to concentrate production in New Zealand and Australia. It later appointed Southern Star as global distributor.
