The film follows Brian Gilcrest (Bradley Cooper), a defense contractor who falls for Allison Ng (Emma Stone), an Air Force pilot, after he is assigned to oversee the launch of a weapons satellite from Hawaii, thus contributing to the militarization of space.[3]
On July 31, 2013, Alec Baldwin joined the cast of the film.[4] There was a casting call for extras on August 29 on Oahu.[5] Cooper went to Hawaii on September 14, twelve days before filming began.[6][7]
On October 7, it was announced that the principal photography was still underway in Hawaii.[8] Stone received ground training on how to fly the Piper PA44-180, Seminole airplane from Rob Moore, Chief Instructor Pilot of Galvin Flight Services Hawaii, who later flew the airplane near Ka'aa'wa valley for the inflight shots. Moore acted as the aviation technical advisor. Cooper was filming in downtown Honolulu on December 18 and 19. On February 2, 2015, Sony Pictures revealed the film's final title to be Aloha.[9]
The musical score for Aloha was composed by Jónsi & Alex,[10] following Jónsi's collaboration with Crowe on We Bought a Zoo (2011). Originally, Mark Mothersbaugh said in May 2014 that he was going to score the film.[11] A soundtrack album is scheduled to be released on May 26, 2015 by Madison Gate Records and Sony Legacy.[12]
