The original script did not have this scene and it has ended up being one of my favorite.  I won’t give any spoilers but let’s just say this country shed starts as a hiding place and ends as a hell hole.  The last 2 days have certainly been challenging.

The art department built this set for us next to the abandoned ghost village.  It’s isolated, rusty, home to potentially dangerous farm bric-a-brac, and filled with dirt.  So much dirt that the crew and cast had to wear these masks inside and around the shed.  Amazingly Amy made even these masks look sexy!
The fight sequence is fairly grueling work.  Ed starts with the stunt doubles and the stunt coordinator Mr. Hon Chun.  Mr. Chun has done quite a bit of work with Hong Kong filmmakers like Jackie Chan and surprisingly that was one of the first things Ed had to sort out regarding the creative approach to the fight.  They are so used to blocking kung fu fight sequences that to get a natural feel to the fight with 3 people frantically using everything they have to survive took a little time.  But the first night worked very quickly.  Shooting 3 cameras was again a saving grace and Ed was well prepared.  Tim gets his butt kicked the most and consequently spent most of the night spitting dirt.

The second day in the shed saw a continuation of the fight and then our favorite friends the pale figures arrived on the scene.  All in all we moved quickly and were able to get ahead again on schedule.  It looks like it will be a fairly light night on Friday.  We’re about half way thru now and it’ll be good for everyone to catch their breath as we move into the third act of the film.  The true pain bearers of the last couple of nights have been  Ada and Roderik our doubles.  They literally took it on the chin.  Special thanks to them.
