Stunning Castaway Island #Fiji – #travel #photography #Adventure #travelphotography /o6rmxtOPIE After a formal meeting with the owners of the island, a local ceremony was also carried out. Monu-Riki was finalized as the filming location because of its “dramatic peak, pristine beach, and small coconut grove.” Soon after this, the production had to go through a complex procedure of understanding Fijian customs just to obtain permission to film there.

Monu-Riki just happens to be a subgroup of the Mamanuca archipelago, which is not too far away from Viti Levu, Fiji’s largest island. During this hiatus, the director of ‘Cast Away,’ Robert Lee Zemeckis, used his time productively to make another film, ‘ What Lies Beneath.’ Monu-Riki, FijiĪn old guidebook of the Fiji islands, which was published by Lonely Planet, mentions that the movie’s filming was not as far from civilization as most would believe. Once all his pre-transformation scenes were shot, the film’s production went on a one-year hiatus so that Hanks could grow out his hair and beard, and loose all the necessary weight for the scenes that followed. Tom Hanks had intentionally gained close to 50 pounds during pre-production just to make his transformation more substantial and noticeable.

Midway through its runtime, the film takes time-jump and shows how drastically Tom Hanks’ character Chuck has transformed after living on the island for several years. The filming of the movie took place for a span of two years, between 1998 to 2000 in many different locations including Fiji, Moscow, Russia, Los Angeles, and Texas.
