And how much did you work on Princess Nualla’s back story?
I worked a lot I just did what I normally do firstly I got as much as I could from the script and when I was in Budapest I talked a lot with Guillermo and to Luke and we all agreed on a back-story. Then I read a lot of mythology and anything that I could get my hands on that I felt was relevant to try and understand what it would have been like to live in a world like that.
The Mutant Chronicles is the other movie that you have worked on this year how did experiences differ?
Well Mutant Chronicles was quite a different part it was very physical, very very physical, and it was so much fun being bale to get involved in the action doing stunts and learning how to sword fight. It was also a much smaller production and it was mainly green screen so it was very different in that sense.
And how challenging is the green screen process?
I think that the main challenge of it, particularly with an ensemble cast like Mutant Chronicles, you really have to make sure that everyone is seeing the same think and looking in the same place otherwise that could look terrible. Apart from that I likened it to theatre you don’t have anything in theatre and you just have to use your imagination.
Finally what is next for you?
Well I have just finished filming Crusoe, which is TV show for NBC, and it’s airing in the States now so now I’m having a little bit of a rest and spending some time with my son while I contemplate my next project.
