Two locations were considered to accommodate construction and filming of the enormous sets: the southern coast of Australia, and Hawaii's Kona coast. The choice fell on Hawaii, since production was scheduled for a summer, when it is actually winter in Australia. Parts of the sea around Hawaii were also free from shipping lanes and had areas with 180 degrees of water with no land in sight. However, the studio didn't spend any money researching weather patterns off Kona coast. If they had, they would have learned that the area was subject to 45 mph winds and rain, which constantly blew the set out of position and ruined shots.
