From July 2004 until January 2005 Living Films was the sole coordinating company for the Hallmark Mini-Series “ Mysterious Island ”.
The film is a remake of the 1961 feature film based on Jules Verne´s famous novel of the same name. It is a period movie from the American Civil War era. It tells the story of a disparate group of Americans who escape the war in a hot air balloon only to find themselves on a tropical island where they are hunted by giant monsters. They will only survive if they can learn to work together.
The entire film was shot in Krabi, Southern Thailand , including the American civil war scenes… and the filming included construction of some amazing sets, CGI plate shooting, and spectacular caves, beaches and tropical scenery. The locations on Thailand ´s Andaman coast lent themselves well to the ‘pre-historic tropical look.´..
