Trivia:

Principal photography was then reported to start in Vancouver, British Columbia in March 2013. The film's cinematographer Seamus McGarvey ("The Avengers") stated that the shooting schedule is expected to begin in March and end in June. Director Gareth Edwards arranged a presentation in one of the stages on the Warner Bros. lot to walk the studio through his vision of the film, which was received very positively and locked in the March production start date.
