Also, Sydney was scripted as the location for the ‘Pan Pacific Defense Corp’ (PPDC) where the first major robot battle occurs, so from the beginning we always spoke of doing some type of filming in Sydney, even if it was a smaller plate unit. Brisbane and Gold Coast worked great for those scenes. “We needed to match Santa Monica, California and a ‘futuristic city’. “Queensland was the strongest initial contender for its very competitive film incentives, great stages and a variety of locations that worked for our script,” says Leann Emmert, the film’s supervising location manager, in comments to KFTV. Pacific Rim’s production company Legendary had previously filmed monster movie Kong: Skull Island from a Queensland base so Australia was the preferred choice for their new venture.
