The I Land is a science fiction thriller that was released on Netflix in 2019. It has so much depth to it that it is easy to understand.
The star cast includes Alex Pettyfer, Natalie Morales, Kate Bosworth, and others as they try to survive on a deserted island while dealing with their baggage.
The reveals of the series are shocking, but the backdrops of the scenes are visually stunning. Most of the time, the cast is seen on gorgeous beaches, which makes the fans wonder about the places where the movie has been filmed. In this article, we’re going to look at the same.
Where was the movie filmed?
The island was a simulation; you can see it in the trailer before getting into the series, but of course, the actors went to a real Island to film the scenes.
The series has many locations from the Dominican Republic, situated in the Caribbean, and it is the second-largest nationality in the region with 10.7 million residents. It is a popular tourist destination, but since 2019, after the demise of nine American tourists’ tourism has slowly been declining.
The U.S. State Department has put it under a Level 2 travel advisory and asked tourists to practice increased caution. Officials also believe that the resort areas are better policed than urban places. The officials have also announced extra security for the tourists.
On the nation, the series was shot in Las Terrenas, Samana Province, and San Pedro de Macoris. The indoor scenes were filmed in Pinewood Studios in the Dominican Republic.
Star Wars movies were also filmed in the same studio. Other projects include 47 Meters Down and xXx: Return of Xander Cage were filmed at Pinewood, Dominican Republic.

The I Land has seven episodes created by Anthony Slater. It revolves around ten people who wake up on an island, but they have no memory of who they are, where they are from, or why they are here on the island.
They’re tasked with finding out their true identities and other questions and soon realize that there are bigger things at play. The show has a lot of ideas to explore.
