However, the country offers world-class facilities and local filming can also deliver easier long-term access to the lucrative Chinese distribution market, which remains a persistent international appeal. Producers and location managers describe the language barrier and cultural differences as being challenges to navigate during Chinese shoots. But as a glossy 'Okay visuals, I got nowt else to do tonight, just wanna crash with popcorn and enjoy a fun movie', it does not disappoint. Qingdao also offers filming incentives worth up to 40% of local expenditure, with per-production payments capped at the equivalent of around $19m.

Between the two Australian states we were able to get some really great locations.” “However, the stages were booked in Queensland so we shifted our focus to Sydney, which had the Fox stages. Also, Sydney was scripted as the location for the ‘Pan Pacific Defense Corp’ (PPDC) where the first major robot battle occurs, so from the beginning we always spoke of doing some type of filming in Sydney, even if it was a smaller plate unit. Brisbane and Gold Coast worked great for those scenes. “We needed to match Santa Monica, California and a ‘futuristic city’. “Queensland was the strongest initial contender for its very competitive film incentives, great stages and a variety of locations that worked for our script,” says Leann Emmert, the film’s supervising location manager, in comments to KFTV.
