Kalkara, Malta

The Mediterranean Film Studios are film studios located in Kalkara, on the east coast of Malta, near Fort Rinella. Established in the mid-1960s — a first shooting tank was set up in 1964 — under the name Malta Film Facilities, they were renamed Mediterranean Film Studios in 1978. The site has specialized in aquatic and underwater shots, featuring large outdoor tanks known as "horizon" tanks, where the water surface visually blends with the sea, creating the illusion of action on the open sea without special effects. The facility includes three tanks: two large outdoor tanks (the first, shallow one dating from 1964, and a second, deeper one added in 1979) as well as a covered tank designed for effects in a controlled environment. More than a hundred international productions have been filmed here, particularly for their maritime sequences. The complex is currently operated by the Maltese state under the name Malta Film Studios.

The scene : The scenes requiring water shots were filmed there.

Epinay-sur-Seine, France

The Épinay Studios are a complex of film studios located in Épinay-sur-Seine, in Seine-Saint-Denis, and are among the oldest in France. Their origins date back to 1907, when industrialist Charles Jourjon founded the company Éclair, which became the third French firm behind Pathé and Gaumont in the 1910s. The studio itself was set up in 1913 and was then acquired by Éclair in 1914. By the end of the 1920s, the German company Tobis established one of the first sound studios in France at the same address, utilizing the Tobis-Klangfilm process; these neighboring facilities were absorbed by Éclair in 1938. The site long housed film sets and significant development and post-production laboratories, with its studios being taken over by the TSF group in 2009, before the opening of the nearby Cité du cinéma reduced their activity from 2012.
