Don't worry about it. If a Kiwi actor makes it big, the Australian media 
"adopts" him as an Australian.

 >>>what with movies being such a major part of our culture, there've got to 
be some metaphysical repercussions from this.<<<

Some landmarks in Australia, such as Uluru, the Sydney Oera House and the 
Harbour Bridge, are probably worth a significant charge to cliomancers 
already. They might start influencing the production of films that are being 
shot over here to make a few more landmarks "familiar" to the world 
consciousness.

Goat island may have been worth a minor already, due to its historical 
importance to Sydney, but having the major fight scene from "Mission: 
Impossible 2" shot there couldn't have hurt.

 >>>Could a popular movie filmed in Oz that Americans think is in America be 
used to steal some mojo from Australia?  From the U.S.?<<<

It might actually be some form of proxy ritual. Maybe the Matrix being shot 
in Sydney was taken advantage of by the True King of Chicago as a symbolic 
element in a tilt of some sort.
