In your offbeat news of the day, it seems that a film production shooting off the coast of Australia came to a screeching halt due to the presence of potentially deadly Irukandji Jellyfish in the water.

“The ones we were catching weren’t any bigger than your thumbnail. They’ve got tentacles that are probably a half to three quarters of a metre long, and pretty much transparent. So unless you really know what you’re looking for, you’re not going to see them in the water.�

“If they migrate south in sufficient numbers, would threaten the safety of swimmers, surfers and snorkellers along southern Queensland’s Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast holiday destinations.”

The production of Fool’s Gold originally called for stars Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey to be filmed swimming in the sea. Hmm, deadly invisible jellyfish + two A-list actors…there’s a film script in there somewhere…
