Once all his pre-transformation scenes were shot, the film’s production went on a one-year hiatus so that Hanks could grow out his hair and beard, and loose all the necessary weight for the scenes that followed.

Midway through its runtime, the film takes time-jump and shows how drastically Tom Hanks’ character Chuck has transformed after living on the island for several years. The filming of the movie took place for a span of two years, between 1998 to 2000 in many different locations including Fiji, Moscow, Russia, Los Angeles, and Texas.
