The north west New South Wales town of Werris Creek is buzzing this morning, as filming of Angelina Jolie’s newest film ‘Unbroken’ gets underway.
The tiny township has been transformed for its Hollywood moment, taking a step back in time to the 1940s to set the scene.
Some local residents lucky enough to score a taste of the spotlight by starring as extras.
NBN News managed to sneak a peek at Ms Jolie and her crew as the cameras rolled.

Werris Creek is my home town, and even though it is more than 40 years since I have lived there, I still call it home. Ask just about any ex-Creekian and they will tell you the same thing. I grew up in the ’60’s with fresh air, clean water and lot’s of open space; where curfew was when the street lights came on, everyone knew everyone else, and you ran past the tree’s on Anzac Parade to duck the magpies in September. It was a thriving railway/agricultural town, back then. Today it is a small, declining ‘village”
The attention and interest shown in the town by Ms Jolie has brought the place to life again and given the residents and ex- residents a bit of pride back, as well as show casing what a beautiful area it is.
Ms Jolie, from the bottom of my heart, Thank You. Thank you for choosing our town, but most of all, thank you for reviving and refreshing the people there, in town, and those us who live away from our roots. Thank you for reminding us that we grew up, live/lived in, one of the best places on Earth.

Hi there! I understand this is somewhat off-topic however I had to ask.
Does building a well-established website like yours take a large amount of work?
I’m completely new to running a blog however I do write in my diary every day.
