Simon Baker Begins Work on 'Breath' at Bronte Beach in Sydney

Simon Baker looks to be in great spirits while setting up shots on set of a new project on Friday (December 18) at Bronte Beach in Sydney, Australia.

The 46-year-old actor is likely working on his brand new adaptation of Tim Winton‘s novel, “Breath,” which he will also direct.

The movie follows two adventurous teenage surfers, whom they have yet to cast.

“For almost a year we’ve been searching for the boys,” Simon told the Sydney Morning Herald. “We’re close. I’m down to a handful of kids.”

Meanwhile, Simon will also star in the film as Sando, an older surfer who befriends the boys.
