Gold Coast Bulletin reports that the Curry Lighthouse is currently being built at Hastings Point in Australia. Director James Wan will reportedly spend three days at the popular whale-watching spot and Temuera Morrison (Tom Curry) has been confirmed as attending the shoot. It's unknown who else will be there but chances are we could see scenes shot which take place in both the past and present. 

It's still early days as Aquaman will be at this location for eight weeks due to the elaborate set construction taking place but the holiday park will only be closed to the public for a few days next month while shooting takes place. That decreases the likelihood of set photos but we will likely see the finished set at some point. Its presence in the movie points to Wan sticking to the comic books here.

In those, the Curry Lighthouse was located just off the coast of northern Maine is a small town called Amnesty Bay. Aquaman's mother Atlanna, whom Tom Curry found floating on a raft, was nursed back to health by him and the two eventually fell in love, giving birth to their son Arthur Curry.

I guess they're done in Italy. :3
Lil bit of trivia, but even Themyscira was basically all filmed in Italy, that's why it was so beautiful! :P
DCEU made in Italy!

And yes, also AoUltron.

And yet, i've never been in those locations, #FML.

@Doomsday8888 - the upcoming "logan lucky" was filmed all around my area, they even filmed a lot at the college right next to a friend's house. I had no idea what the movie was at the time.

I wish I had known I was breathing the same air as James Bond and Kylo Ren. I might've stalked a little bit lol.

@Doomsday8888 @ALostCause - Another beautiful scenery filmed in Italy? Attack of the Clones.

Despite what people think about the movie, everyone will agree that those shots of Naboo and the Palace view on the lake were gorgeous. That's the Lago di Como at the frontier with Switzerland. Been there and in Lago di Lugano in real life and let me tell you, it is breathtaking. Also, that Casino Royale scene where Vesper meets Bond was also shot in the same place, in Villa Balbianello. The scene where Bond shoots Mr White in the leg at the end was filmed at Villa la Gaeta.

Lost, I didn't know you were italian, we're close :)

@Asturgis - I... live in America's dirty south...

The cleanest and nicest city in the dirty south, Charlotte, but still the dirty south. Logan lucky is a movie about rednecks, which is honestly kind of annoying because there aren't very many of them around here. I'm also certain it's not as pretty as Italy.

Lol I'm not sure why you thought I was Italian.

@AlternateNo4 - you're right! I've only been once, but it was [frick]ing beautiful. definitely prettier than up here. The prettiest shit up here is just.. new buildings.

@ALostCause - Ohhhh silly me, it's just that Doomsday was talking about scenes filmed in Italy, then in the next comment you said you had scenes filmed where you were and said you were breathing the same air as James Bond so I assumed...

@Asturgis - ahah okay that makes sense. Daniel Craig is one of the main characters in that redneck movie, sorry to confuse.

The locals were a bit up in arms this production got approved. Its a bigger shoot than they've ever had their before.

I think they should just shut up.
