Director Joshua Morrison turned down an offer for a gig on Indiana Jones et le Cadran de la destinée (2023) due to it clashing with the principal photography of Scorched Earth.
On the first day of shooting, filming was interrupted by a C-130 Hercules flying low overhead.
Principal photography was split into two blocks. The first block was between the 19th and 23rd of September, and the second block between the 5th and 8th of October.
There were 7 full days of principal photography, with two additional half days.
