Premise

A mysterious loner (Woodall) has a bizarre condition that takes him to another place on Earth every 12 hours, with no ability to control his destinations.[1] [2]

Cast

Production

The film is produced by TXL Pixtures and written and directed by Taron Lexton. The producers are Nathan Lorch and Milena Ferreira, with co-producer Nick Lane, associate producer Nicole Jones, and executive producer Brandon Marion. It was shot on IMAX with cinematography by Kevin Garrison.[3] It broke the record for the number of countries where a single production was filmed, previously held by The Fall (2006) by Tarsem Singh filmed in 25 countries. Lexton envisaged a film with "no green screen, no sets, and no lights" to have "an authenticity and resonance".[4] Music is by Edy Lan.[5]

Casting

Leo Woodall[6] and Sheena Chohan were cast in 2019.[7] The cast also includes a number of indigenous people and non-actors, as well as Sana'a Shaik, Jordi Webber and Abbey Hoes.[8] Webber's part has been described as the villain’s role.[9]

Filming

The first day of principal photography was in July 2019 in Elqui Valley, Chile during the only solar eclipse of 2019; the production had just over two minutes to capture the desired shot.[10] Other locations included Brazil,[11] Tanzania, Egypt and India.[12] The film crew had to navigate Drake Passage, considered one of the world's most dangerous water passages, and encountered a territorial rhinoceros in Southern Africa that required the local San people to protect them.[13] Filming in Vancouver was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.[14] Actress Abbey Hoes has discussed filming her scenes on the Faroe Islands,[15] and actress Sana'a Shaik discussed filming in China.[16] Filming was reported to be completed in March 2023.[8]
