Amazon's sci-fi psychological thriller, Foe, has begun filming in Victoria.

It's a long way from being on our screens so don't go getting too excited. Except for the possibility of seeing places you know or perhaps even frequent in major titles like this.

Do we have any details about the film?

The film is a taut, sensual, psychological mind-bender set in the near future where corporate power and environmental decay are ravaging the planet. Junior (Mescal) and Hen (Ronan) are a young couple married seven years and living a solitary life on their isolated farm. One night, a stranger named Terrance (Stanfield) knocks on their door, bringing news that throws their lives into turmoil: Junior has been randomly selected to travel to a large, experimental space station orbiting Earth.

Ah. Right.

The old randomly selected "winner" scam. Why bother with all the fuss of an abduction? There's plenty of ways that could get dark.

But wait, as they say, there's more.

The most unusual part? Arrangements have already been made so that when he leaves, Hen won’t have a chance to miss him, because she won’t be left alone — not even for a moment. Hen will have familiar company that pushes her to make a life-changing decision.

Clone? Android?

And why?

We'll have to watch it to find out.
