Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I was recently an extra in the upcoming movie THE KINGDOM starring Fox and Garner - its about the war on terrorism. Its amazing how different the atmosphere is on every movieset. Years ago I was an extra in the movie 3 KINGS, Clooney was a real nice guy and was easily approachable - would throw the football around with the extras and take pictures. On this set Fox and Garner were completely unnaproachable. Its also amazing to me how much thinner and smaller all actors seem in real life. Clooney and I are about the same height, and watching him on TV would guess about the same size, but in reality he was (in 1998) about 30-40 pounds lighter than me. Garner is really skinny. Fox is a fairly small. Plays some SERIOUS ping-pong on the set - he is really good. I guess kind of a wimp too - one of the guys helping the director told me they wanted to go to Abu Dhabi to film some scenes but he is afraid to go - I don't know who can blame him - unrest in the middle east, and he can make them stay here. One of the interesting scenes is shortly after some terrorist attack - Fox whispers to Garner something about getting even and killing all the terrorists and make them pay, and interlaced with that is scenes of a Muslim telling another wounded Muslim that they will kill us in the USA , get even and make us pay. I guess the idea is that similar feelings are held on both sides. Anglen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
