Will Smith arrives in Australia to film Supermax

Will Smith is in Australia filming a new movie called Supermax, with scenes shot at Wangi Power Station near Newcastle.

Hollywood has landed in regional Australia. Actor Will Smith is on location at Wangi Power Station, north of Newcastle, filming a movie called Supermax.

The crew has been setting up for several days, and some locals have made it onto the set. Students from Wangi Wangi Public School waited outside the power station gates hoping to spot someone interesting.

Their patience paid off. Smith stopped at the gates, jumped out to meet the kids, and spent time snapping photos with them.

He was reportedly very approachable.
