The Queensland set of Aquaman was plunged into turmoil after an on-set animal handler was left injured by a rogue camel this week.
But not even a trampling beast could halt production of the high-budget film, with stars Jason Momoa and Amber Heard spotted filming for the new Hollywood blockbuster at the Gold Coast‘s Currumbin Beach on Friday.
The pair were filmed venturing into the ocean, both dressed in their associated character’s get-up.
Business as usual! Not even a trampling beast could halt production of the high-budget film, with stars Jason Momoa and Amber Heard spotted filming for the new Hollywood blockbuster at the Gold Coast ‘s Currumbin Beach on Friday
Jason wore the full Aquaman outfit while Amber wore a tight-fitted mermaid-like green jumpsuit, as they paced the beach and walked in and out of the surf.
The actors seemed to getting plenty of advice from the film crew who remained on the shore.
The crew were pouring bottles of water on Amber’s head, possibly to relieve her from the heat or to make her fiery red locks look wet without immersing her whole body underwater.

A producer then walked out into the surf next to Jason and Amber, chatting into a walkie talkie while receiving advice from the film’s directors.
Also snapped was Amber Heard’s rumoured new love interest Kelly McNaught, who is also Jason’s stunt double.
Standing back amongst the trucks and tents, the buff bald-headed man stood tall as the the production unfold in front of him.
Jason and Amber then scurried back into the water, with beach revellers – or movie extras – still very much in plain sight.

But among all the fun the crew and actors were having, turmoil arose later on in the day.
A female animal handler was injured after being trampled by a camel, that was reportedly startled by an incoming wave while walking along the beach.
The woman stumbled as the camel began to thrash, who was then struck in the head by it’s hoof.

Fortunately, the woman was not severely injured, and taken to Pindara Private Hospital in a stable condition.
It’s the second incident involving an animal to occur in four months for the film, after a woman was severely injured in July attempting to save a donkey from a runaway golf cart.
Animal handler Katie Brock endured multiple fractures after being hit by the buggy, as she pushed the donkey out of harm’s way.
Suffering broken ribs and a cracked vertebrae, the 54-year-old was rushed to hospital and is still recovering.
Ouch! A female animal handler was injured after being trampled by a camel, that was reportedly startled by an incoming wave while walking along the beach
