FUN FACTS
Production began 17 February 2014 and continued until 15 August 2014.
The film employed over 1300 crew, including extras and cast.
Utilised 7/8 sound stages (before Stage 9 was built) & the Main Outdoor Tank.
Stage 8 was used to build a restaurant scene & HQ/offices for the earthquake.
A portion of the Hoover dam scene was built in the Studios car park.
The Main Water Tank was utilised to build part of the high-rise scene when a tsunami hit. This incredible set was installed on a hydraulic system that pulled the set up and down into the water.
Testimonial
Executive Producer Rob Cowan was happy to discuss how Village Roadshow Studios helped bring the film to life — “they have eight stages which we were able to use and have a great water tank which is essential to our movie”
Professionally the crews have been top-notch, they’re probably the best I’ve worked with in the world and the facilities are terrific.

Cowan goes on to say “All of the actors loved it here. It’s an easy atmosphere, having the beaches is great, the weather is fantastic. There is a lot to offer. It was a great experience for everybody. It could not have been better”
