:17:03
John's words were really inspirational
to the actors.
:17:07
- There's a missing scene.
- The poor Manolians.
:17:10
We used to have this whole beat
where the Manolians were in the party...
:17:14
and they're trying to shake hands...
:17:16
but their tradition was
they wouldn't shake hands...
:17:18
they would shake elbows.
So Proteus was extremely embarrassed...
:17:22
and Marina had saved his bacon.
:17:28
Now you may be asking yourself...
:17:30
why is the most valuable object in the world
guarded by only one man?
:17:34
Patrick will explain.
:17:37
As Proteus explains in the previous scene,
there are guards on every level.
:17:41
So this guy is a member
of an exclusive brotherhood.
:17:44
It is a privilege to be the guy...
:17:45
who actually guards the Book itself
here in this room...
:17:49
but he never sees any action
because you gotta get through five floors.
:17:53
He does have a glass jaw.
:17:55
He gets punched by a goddess.
:17:56
We'll cut him some slack.
:17:59
Just the effects alone for Eris in here...
:18:02
Directing a film,
you just see everything so many times...
:18:06
that you frankly just get dead...
:18:07
to a lot of the picture, but I have to say...
:18:10
every time Eris wore the Sinbad suit here,
my eyes were wide open.
:18:13
- I just love some of these effects.
- It's a great scene.
:18:15
It's funny that most people
who looked at the pencil test on Eris...
:18:19
thought she was blonde.
:18:21
If you look at the thing in color,
it's like, wow.
:18:24
Yeah, the transformation's amazing.
:18:29
Sinbad's dagger, of course,
that Eris took from him under water.
:18:33
All the pieces are coming together.
:18:37
They never really articulate
what the Book of Peace does...
:18:40
but it's sort of explained
by its disappearance.
:18:42
It's obviously protecting
the city of Syracuse...
:18:45
and once it disappears these terrible
black clouds and an earthquake...
:18:49
sends the city into darkness. We imagined
the city would be Dorian Gray...
:18:53
would age very quickly,
but we never really got a chance...
:18:56
to flesh out that sort of story 'cause we
didn't cut back to Syracuse very frequently.
