The Mongoose Begins Filming in Melbourne 

Melbourne is once again in the spotlight as The Mongoose, an action-thriller starring Liam Neeson, begins production across Victoria. Neeson, who previously filmed Blacklight and Ice Road 2: Road to the Sky in the region, plays Ryan “Fang” Flanagan, a war hero caught in a high-stakes, televised manhunt. 

The Mongoose is set to create 453 screen jobs and contribute over $19 million to the local economy. Victoria’s strong reputation as a global production hub continues to grow, thanks to its skilled workforce, diverse locations, and world-class infrastructure. 

TPH Global is proud to support the production with our full suite of software solutions, ensuring seamless payroll, accounting, and production management.  

Black Bag—A High-Stakes Spy Thriller 

Set for release this March, Black Bag is the latest thriller from acclaimed director Steven Soderbergh. The film follows legendary intelligence officer George Woodhouse (Michael Fassbender) as he grapples with an impossible choice—his loyalty to his wife Kathryn (Cate Blanchett) or his duty to his country when she’s suspected of treason. 

With a stellar cast including Regé-Jean Page, Marisa Abela, Naomie Harris, Tom Burke, and Pierce Brosnan, Black Bag is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated espionage dramas of the year. Soderbergh’s signature storytelling, combined with a tightly woven narrative of betrayal, intrigue, and suspense, promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. 

At TPH Global, we’re excited to introduce Munther Mohammed, a key member of our Customer Success team. Based in the UK, Munther plays a vital role in supporting our clients, ensuring their experience with TPH software is as smooth and efficient as possible. His day-to-day involves troubleshooting issues, providing guidance, and collaborating with the Level 2 Support and Development teams to resolve complex technical challenges. 

“As a Customer Success Representative, I act as the primary point of contact for our users, proactively monitoring and resolving issues they face,” Munther explains. “Helping clients navigate our software and seeing their relief when a problem is solved gives me a real sense of satisfaction.” 

“I find it amazing to see the films and TV shows I’ve supported from the backend come to life on the big screen.” 

Munther’s passion for the entertainment industry keeps him engaged in his work. “I find it amazing to see the films and TV shows I’ve supported from the backend come to life on the big screen,” he says. “The industry is a complex yet harmonized flow, working behind the scenes to create timeless projects for audiences.” 

One of his proudest achievements was working on Saturday Night Live (SNL)—the first major production he set up from start to finish. “That project made me realize the scale of productions relying on our software. Supporting clients like SKY, ITV, and NBCU constantly reminds me how trusted and essential TPH Global is in this industry.” 

Through his time at TPH, Munther has sharpened his troubleshooting skills, learning to break down complex technical issues and guide clients through solutions efficiently. Looking ahead, he’s excited about the rapid advancements in production technology. “With constant software updates and new tools being introduced, there’s always more to learn. I’m eager to expand my knowledge and help our clients navigate the evolving landscape of production accounting.”
