Sigh is right Deedee!! He looks so good in the long tails and hat. The Sando curls are so gorgeous with the formal wear. It's a bit tongue in cheek I think.  |

Yes I like her too Deedee, she's very natural, it's like she's just having a friendly chat rather than doing a formal interview. I thought she was brilliant at the 2012 Olympics. |

Yes she really shone there in complete contrast to many of her male colleagues who seemed out of their depth and quite often asked really ridiculous questions. More power to female presenters especially in sport. |

Star Return | 9 News Perth
He's an Aussie actor who's made it big on American TV but now Simon Baker is heading down south to make a very West Australian movie. The star of the Mentalist was in Denmark today to announce he's bringing a Tim Winton classic to life on the big screen.

Breath will be shot in the little town Denmark in Western Australia, bbb. Just checked it out a bit. Seems to be a great beautiful place! But pretty far away from Sydney...guess his family can't go there with him with the boys in school...or are there maybe long summer holidays during the time he is shooting so they can be there too?

edit to add: Whoops, I just realised that I posted this in the wrong thread - I meant for it to go to the articles thread. Clearly I shouldn't have multiple threads open in different tabs at the same time
I don't think this one has been posted yet?
Tim Winton backs Simon Baker’s hunch on gem of a town
VICTORIA LAURIE
The Australian
July 11, 2015 12:00AM
Simon Baker, The Mentalist TV star who for seven years played a psychic with the knack of reading minds, says he “just knew immediately” that the West Australian coastal town of Denmark was the right place for his movie version of Tim Winton’s novel Breath.
“I’m a gut person; when I drove in to town I felt the place was rich in authenticity, that there were interesting characters and a welcoming community.”
He wasn’t wrong. Local dignitaries and a gaggle of surfers turned up yesterday to officially welcome him to Denmark’s local surf club, 420km southeast of Perth, which overlooks the windswept Southern Ocean.
Regional Development Minister Terry Redman says Baker’s decision to locate his film shoot in Denmark, with pre-production starting as early as December, means about $4.3 million in local income and a tourism boost for the town of 5000 residents.
Funding body Screenwest estimates that Breath will employ 100 local film workers and 150 locals as actors, extras and surfing doubles. In return, the state government is investing $2.3m to ensure that Breath, the eighth novel by West Australian Winton, is entirely filmed in the state.
In the past seven years, regional Western Australia has been the setting for several films with combined production budgets of $89m — including Paper Planes, Red Dog, Bran Nue Dae and Australia.
Australian-born Baker was rated by Forbes as the highest-paid actor on American television last year, earning $US13m. He has appeared in movies such as LA Confidential, The Devil Wears Prada and Margin Call, and earned an Emmy Award nomination for his long-running role as Patrick Jane in The Mentalist, for which he directed some episodes. But Baker’s debut as a feature film director comes with Breath, the tale of two thrillseeking boys who form an odd bond with reclusive surfer Sando and his enigmatic wife.
Baker will play the lead role of Sando, as well as directing and co-producing the film. Can he surf? “Badly.”
The Mentalist is a chapter now firmly closed, “but it gave me the sheer confidence to do this film, through the time I spent in front of the camera and directing.
“Of course, it also gave me enormous exposure which helps.”
Baker’s 16-year-old son, Claude, hung back as Denmark locals joined the media scrum, including tousle-headed surfie Zac, 14, who hopes to audition for a surfing-double part in the film.
The Hollywood actor says his two sons — Claude and Harry, 13 — have taught him much about adventurous teenage boys. “Of course it’s helpful. My two boys span the ages of the boys in the book.”
Baker says he shares with Winton a childhood spent as a “small-towner — I know how they work”.
He says he has valued input from Winton, who sent a message to yesterday’s gathering. “Denmark is a gem of a town with a unique community and it holds a very special place in my heart,” Winton said. “I hope it reaps the benefits of having the production based there and that Simon’s film will show the rest of the world what they’re missing.”
