BBC Producer Writes Diary of Tribulations

10 October 2003 | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »

Gub Neal, the producer of Gunpowder, Treason and Plot, about the plot by a group of Catholic terrorists to blow up Britain's Parliament in 1605 during the reign of the Protestant King James I, has been writing a diary of sorts about the production for Britain's Guardian newspaper from Romania, where it is being filmed (and where it is behind schedule and over budget). In today's (Friday) entry, he writes of a rainstorm that nearly shut down the production with a landslide of mud. "Add to that a scabies epidemic in the costume department, with everyone itching like mad while trying to fumigate 300-odd costumes, irregularly worn by different extras each day, and this film is beginning to convey an authentic 16th century feel we could all live without." »
