Of Note:
To find a lighthouse that would mirror the imagery of the book, the filmmakers embarked on an extensive quest, which involved trips to more than 300 lighthouses across Australia and New Zealand. They struck gold with the Cape Campbell Lighthouse, situated on Cook Strait at the very northeastern tip of New Zealand’s South Island. The lighthouse, which has guided ships through treacherous waters and gale force winds since 1870, is a 72-foot tower replete with a lighthouse keeper’s cottage and garden positioned perfectly below it.
