Where are we? How did we get here? It's suddenly all so fuzzy. Fifty Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan performs a vacationer affected by amnesia in the Australian Outback in Jack and Harry Williams' HBO Max drama collection The Tourist. While using on a dry, dusty Australian freeway, making a song along to the radio and not using a care on this planet, Jamie's protagonist — who is simply credited as "The Man" — is all at once hit via a truck. It doesn't seem to be an twist of fate, on the other hand, because the truck was aiming for him.
Awaking from the crash, The Man can't seem to bear in mind a thing about his existence, now not even his personal identification. With only some clues, The Man should put the puzzle pieces of his existence in combination, as a result of there are ruthless other folks from his past scorching on his trail.
First airing on BBC One in January 2022, the Williams brothers relayed that "emotion, jeopardy, tension, and narrative surprise" fill their limited series. It boasts one of those storylines where the target audience knows simply up to the protagonist does, which always makes for a suspenseful ride.
And whilst The Man does not to start with know where he is subsequent to the crash, we are sure the monster-sized spiders, muscle-laced kangaroos, and flying boomerangs gave it away. All jokes aside, it no doubt looks like The Man is misplaced within the Land Down Under; but was the show if truth be told filmed on the continent?
Where was HBO Max's 'The Tourist' filmed?
Yes, The Tourist was, if truth be told, filmed in Australia. More specifically, it was shot in South Australia, principally in the capital city of Adelaide, and in nearby towns like Port Augusta and Peterborough, as reported through Radio Times. Australian mountain range Flinders Ranges also seems in The Tourist.
And while Australia is decorated with herbal beauty, nature is not all the time merciful. "[Flies] were crawling in my eyes. I tried to leave them alone and then our cinematographer, who is incredible, was like, 'I wanted to throw up as it was digging in your eye'," Danielle Macdonald told Express.
The flies weren't just a nuisance, even though, they had been a pricey nuisance. "We've literally had to pay so much money to remove flies from shots," said director Chris Sweeney. "Because it's so remote and hot, there's no water anywhere else, the only water was in your eyes." UGH, absolutely no longer.
"We wanted it to be the middle of nowhere for obvious reasons, but what's interesting is that we discovered there are no things like a service station in the middle of the Outback because everything is clustered in towns — otherwise you'd get like one customer a month," Chris Sweeney explained.
"We went to Australia looking for service stations in the middle of nowhere, and [the locals] were like, 'Sorry, we don't have those here.'"
Hilariously, this turned into such an issue that the gasoline station featured within the premiere episode needed to be constructed for The Tourist! There just are not fuel stations plopped in the course of the blazing Outback.
All six episodes of The Tourist are these days streaming on HBO Max.
