“The movie stars Australian actor Thomas Cocquerel, from Red Dog: True Blue and Kidnapping Mr Heineken, as Errol Flynn.
It is being co-produced by Flynn’s 41-year-old actor, writer and producer grandson Luke Flynn.
A 100-person film crew set up at Cleveland’s Raby Bay to shoot In Like Flynn.
Directing In Like Flynn is Australian Russell Mulcahy of Highlander, Teen Wolf and Resident Evil: Extinction fame.
Mr Mulcahy said the film was taking full advantage of Moreton Bay at its best.
“The first time I came here on the location survey to Cleveland, I fell in love with it,” he said.
“It’s perfect – it’s exactly what we need.
“How could any director not enjoy this part of the world? It is stunningly beautiful, from sunrise over the water to sunset.”
In June 2015, Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp put Cleveland on the filming map.
Redland City is fast earning a reputation within Queensland, Australia and overseas as a great place to make great television and movies.
The city was recently recognised at the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales on the Gold Coastfor its welcoming community, film-friendly council and its spectacular water-based locations.
Scenes from Flynn’s exploits in Papua New Guinea were shot in the Mount Tamborine area.
Set in the 1930s, In Like Flynn tells the story of Flynn in his twenties when he discovered a map on a dead prospector while serving as a guide for a Hollywood producer in the jungles of Papua New Guinea.
In Sydney, Flynn rounds up a crew, who steal Sirocco, a yacht belonging to Chinese opium smugglers and they voyage up the Australian east coast.
Mr Mulcahy said In Like Flynn was an “honest seat of your pants true life action adventure about a group of guys lead by Flynn, who barely make it through some incredible situations”.”
