Скачать или смотреть Ron Howard’s Eden: The Secret That Dictated Every Shot

Production designer Michelle McGahey takes us behind the scenes of Ron Howard’s long-awaited passion project Eden. In this exclusive Collider interview, McGahey reveals how she recreated the unforgiving landscapes of the Galápagos Islands without ever leaving Australia—capturing the grit, the heat, and the isolation that define Floriana.

McGahey discusses how her time on Easter Island informed the raw aesthetic, why Queensland’s microclimates became the perfect stand-in, and how her team built entire sets—including homes, boats, and cactus groves—in just five weeks. From the research into archival photos and journals to the painstaking work of aligning locations with the DP’s vision, every detail was designed to ground Eden in realism and texture.

She also shares stories of storms that threatened the shoot, the cast’s resilience under blistering heat, and the collaborative dynamic between Ron Howard, DP Mathias, and the Australian crew. It’s a rare look into how environment and history shape a film’s emotional core.
