Wonder Woman 1984 to be filmed in Tenerife
28/08/2018
TENERIFE will once again become the backdrop for a Hollywood blockbuster – this time the long-awaited sequel Wonder Woman 1984.
Parts of the west of the island will become an open-air film set during the last week in September and the first week in October in the fantasy adventure production which, like the original, will be directed by Patty Jenkins, with Israeli actress Gal Gadot as Diana Prince and Chris Pine as Steve Trevor back in their original roles.
Kristen Wiig will play the main villain, Cheetah, and Game of Thrones and Narcos actor Pedro Pascal will play a central role.
Tenerife was also chosen as location for scenes from the 2010 remake of Clash of the Titans and its 2012 sequel Wrath of the Titans, as well as Fast & Furious 6, starring Vin Diesel and the late Paul Walker.
President of the island council, or Cabildo, Carlos Alonso, says the dramatic natural scenery and mild weather conditions have long made Tenerife a popular film location.
But one of its main attractions, the president admits, is the fact that both national and international film producers benefit from the Canary Islands' favourable tax régime, which keeps down the costs of production.
