HALIFAX — Nova Scotia says it has given more than $1.6 million to a Robert Pattinson movie filmed near Yarmouth, N.S.
“The Lighthouse,” directed by Robert Eggers, is a fantasy horror movie also starring Willem Dafoe.
The province says it has committed $1.673 million to the production, based on an eligible expenditure of $5.98 million, through the Nova Scotia Film and Television Production Incentive Fund.
Nova Scotia Business Inc. announced the funding Thursday, but the movie was filmed this spring.
