This time last year, I traveled to Wellington, New Zealand to check out the set of Universal’s Mortal Engines, the first adaptation of Philip Reeve’s YA book quartet. Mortal Engines is the directorial debut of longtime Peter Jackson-collaborator Christian Rivers, who is supported on all sides by the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit powerhouse trio Jackson, Philippa Boyens, and Fran Walsh.
Across two days and seven soundstages, I saw the interiors and exteriors of London, now a traction city, meaning it travels around Mortal Engine’s post-post-apocalyptic world on wheels, devouring other cities for resources. In the slideshow below, you can discover the most interesting things I learned while on set.
