Casting[edit]

It was announced in October 2022 that Ron Howard would direct the film, and he had begun the casting process and location scouting. The film was to be titled Origin of Species at that time.[1] In May 2023, Ana de Armas, Jude Law, Alicia Vikander and Daniel Brühl were cast,[2] with Daisy Edgar-Jones in negotiations.[3] Casting was permitted to continue during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike after securing an interim agreement with the guild.[4] In November, the film was retitled to Eden, with Vanessa Kirby and Sydney Sweeney added to the cast to replace Vikander and Edgar-Jones respectively, and Hans Zimmer was set to compose the score.[5] Edgar-Jones was forced to exit as a result of the SAG-AFTRA strike, as she needed to keep her commitment to Twisters, which had to halt production as a result of the strike.[6] In December 2023, it was announced that Richard Roxburgh, Felix Kammerer, Toby Wallace, Paul Gleeson, and Ignacio Gasparini had joined the cast.[7]

Filming[edit]

Filming was expected to begin in November 2023, with production taking place in Queensland, Australia, and a small unit filming on the Galápagos Islands.[5] Filming began on November 27, 2023 on the Australian Gold Coast.[8]
