Coolibah Station, east of Timber Creek, is reported to be the location for a major film shoot involving Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman.
Milton Jones' Coolibah station has been in the news recently as one of the 'hot spots' that Kimberley Toadbusters have been concentrating on in their battle to stop the advance of the cane toad.
It is also the home to a crocodile farm.
The movie to be shot there next year is reportedly a romance, more interesting when it is considered that Crowe and Kidman were once reported to be dating.
Academy Award-winning director Baz Luhrmann will film the epic.
Filming of another US movie 'Rogue' about a crocodile and starring Michael Vartan, wrapped up recently in the NT, with some filming of the jumping crocodiles on the Adelaide River.
Crowe and Luhrmann have not confirmed that Coolibah Station will be the venue for the movie shoot, but the NT News reported that it believed the station would host 300 crewmembers for three months of filming.
The budget for the movies is reported to be more than $40 million.
The film is set in the 1930s with Kidman playing the target of Crowe's affection.
