I mentioned the big set that's been built in the Wicklow Mountains, and he called it a 'castle', as opposed to a fort. He was very excited about the whole film. I think I need to lie down now. The Official Alexander Siddig website has been updated with more Reign of Fire info. The movie is basically about a group of staunch survivors holding out against dragons who are slowly devouring the world in their relentless search for food.
More information is promised to be posted on the site shortly.
The movie's production team will use the vines, being sent to the movie's Ardmore Studio set in batches of 3 or 4, to construct into a vineyard set. From what the scooper's been hearing, they understand that the vineyard will be used for a scene showing it set on fire by attacking dragons. Make that 60,000 leaves. Apparently all leaves for the Vineyard must be at the studio by Saturday 10 March as they are planning to film the vineyard on Monday 11 March. The same company made the rose petals that rained down on the arena in the film Gladiator .
