They Shot the Movie Worldwide
Issues with planning and financeÂs during the movie’s making meant that bits of the same scenes were not shot in the same studio. InsteÂad, filming took place on different contineÂnts. Inside the Egyptian temple scenes, the young actors are local UK residents. These parts were shot in the UK.
On the other hand, the teÂam traveled to Mauritania for the outdoor sceÂnes. Here, Mauritanian boys were used for extra roleÂs, even though they were supposed to depict the same characters.
