If anyone picked up Surrey Advertiser on Friday to do some light reading on the weekend, they’ll be treated to a little article summarizing the Transformers: The Last Knight Principal Photography which took place in Bourne Woods fortnight ago.
We’ve selected some interesting bits from the article for you to read:
“It was pretty brutal, to be fair,” an extra [who played a Saxon invader] said about the filming. “We had to go through hair and make-up first, which was pretty cool. They covered us in fake blood and made a mess of your hair, which I wasn’t too pleased about. There was a lot of charging up and down hills – it was really tiring. There were fake dead horses, heads on spikes, lots of fire and smoke, with lots of explosions and dirt falling everywhere.”
“Sometimes it was running down the hill then up the hill. At one point we were supposed to be running away from something and look scared. I was pretty scared anyway because there were horses charging past me and lots of huge, angry men. They were these great big guys and they would say ‘no, after you’ or ‘excuse me’. They were really polite.”
What’s so great about Michael Bay is his attention to detail:
“Costumes included ‘scary helmets’ chainmail. Mine was running I would quite quite fur, and plain really, I had a leather breastplate thing and a bit of fur running down my back and a chainmail mini dress, which was quite interesting. It was absolutely brilliant. It was a real drag coming back to work. It’s nowhere near as exciting.”
Finally, the extra added “I would love to do it all over again.”
