Russel hits Hollywood!!

Russel is an extra at the moment for a big budget French Fantasy movie being filmed in Cape Town. Its sort of like Stargate, with someone slipping into a parallel world, and there are 2 warring tribes.

Russel is starring as a Begamanian, a tribe of simple peasant farmers who get eaten buy the nasty Zoltanians.

In Russel's words:

"Its fun as we get to wear funky outfits, and I look fab with a dash of heavy eyeliner! Whats no so fun is the heat and sandstorms, and the itchy wigs. The outfits get darn hot, and it was over 40 the other day, with people fainting from the heat.

We have filmed at a wine farm in Somerset west, where we got to meet the lead actor, Jammie Plaza and today on the atlantis dunes, where we had a big fight with the Zoltanians.

As 3 stuntmen did not arrive, I got enlisted to help withthe stunts in the fight, which was great fun, and pays a lot more (I hope!)

Also filmed in an underground village thy constructed in the 3 arts, and a day at Cape point on th beach. What is not so fun is the 14 hour days, starting at 4:30 in the morning sometimes.
There is another big hollywood movie called Doomsday , with bob Hoskins,starting filming soon, so I hope I can do some of that too.

Go Russel go! Doesn't he look dashing in his costume!
