The cave scene with Charles Dance was fantastic – what was that like to shoot?
Charles was an intimidating character both on screen and off to say the least! We got on very well. We had a couple of days… we were in the process of doing re-shoots (which is mayhem as it’s happening). We were only able to cast Charles 3 days before. We had to get all the prosthetic make up done and costumes designed and we only had 3 days with him when it came round to it, so everything was fast. I barely got to spend a lot of time with him but again, he was a very prepared professional actor who came in with his own ideas.
The whole scene between himself and Luke – these are two guys that are very proficient in what they do, both with their own ideas. The only thing I could do is get out of their way and let’s see what they wanted to do with the scene – how they’re going to move around it. And then I started working and moving the camera accordingly to try and give them as much freedom as possible. It’s a 6 or 7 minute long scene of dialogue… that’s their stage, let them do what they need to do to make themselves feel comfortable and then I will walk around accordingly.
