August 29, 1998

7:30 am call time. The morning began as usual. Wardrobe, hair, makeup, props, breakfast.... They feed us very well on this shoot. There is always food available, whether in extras holding or at the craft tent on set. We all constantly graze when not shooting! The morning is spent shooting a scene with Kevin and Will and some photo doubles.

We often had to move from our positions in the scene to allow water trucks to spray down the ground to keep the dust from becoming intolerable or interfering with the shooting.

We extras did have a chance today to tour the train, which is an amazing setpiece itself. The details are fascinating and exquisite, and definitely "blockbuster" caliber.

We returned to holding for lunch, and then were wrapped after lunch to avoid a spectacular rainstorm, complete with lightning. It was a nice Saturday afternoon gift! Many of the extras were told that their scenes were finished. Others were asked to return on Monday to shoot a retake of the Friday scenes. We were also read a letter from the executive producer about a breach of confidentiality that occurred, allowing some vital plot points to become public knowledge. Warner Brothers were not happy. Wrap time 4:30.

The info that Warner's is upset about can be found here at the Ain'n-It-Cool-News Web Site. Be warned... here there be SPOILERS!!!
