"The facility’s massive water tanks let us mix practical ocean work with controlled set pieces: we dressed and rebuilt a real patrol vessel, shot much of it on open water and supplemented with tank work, used another boat on a gimbal for the big action beats, and flipped a replica sailboat completely upside down in the deep water tank." - Emily Zemler
Used to recreate the island prison of the Château d’If off the coast of Marseilles, these studios provided controlled sets where Edmond challenges death and plots his revenge, allowing the production to stage harsh maritime and prison conditions without relying solely on French locations. - Shaurya Thapa
Famous on-screen water tanks at this facility convincingly stand in for the open Atlantic, hosting the Mosasaurus attack and the rescue sequence with Duncan’s boat, The Essex. The setup involved a rig that moved in different ways while wind machines and water cannons pounded the cast, making it very easy for the actors to feel as if they were genuinely at sea and turning Malta into a nonstop stunt environment for those scenes. - Phil de Semlyen
