So, in the world of web 2.0 the most exciting thing to happen in the first ten days of shooting TORMENTED was my post about Alex Pettyfer and his (alleged) penchant for taking off items of clothing (see below if you missed the controversy, which brought home forcibly to me the difference between real life and web social mores, as brilliantly illustrated by this sketch from The Wall)

In life 1.0, the shoot is going well. Cast and crew have gelled and 10 days in begun to settle into that reassuring pattern that signifies a healthy shoot. Each morning starts relaxed, each day ends in a mad frenzy. Or as Jon Wright – puts it “in the morning we are shooting THE GODFATHER, by the evening its NEIGHBOURS”

The results, so far, thankfully resemble the care and craft of the former rather more than the latter. Albeit the GODFATHER, with rather more hot teenagers and zombie demons.
Today we embark upon our first big stunt sequence and we have been joined up here in the West Midlands by our evil scientist, prosthetics professor Paul Hyett who joins us fresh from creating a new crop of albino nasties for THE DESCENT 2 and our Stunt Superman, Nick Chopping.

I won’t give away too much about the sequence, other than to note that it involves a variety of screwdrivers, a sofa and an indecent amount of blood. None of which belongs to Alex Pettyfer or April Pearson or Larissa Wilson or Mary Nighy or Georgia King.

Not yet. Their time will come.
