In 1990, the film's director, Oliver Stone, had already decided to shoot the film in Morocco which is "the only country that offers the required geographical diversity."
"Morocco has the same cinema conditions as Los Angeles or California," film producer, Thomas Schilly, underlined, stressing that "when Morocco will have adequate studios for films' production, all the required conditions would be there to make it an important location for movies and television production in the world scale."
