:04:02
The Book of Peace.
:04:04
It's my job to bring it safely to Syracuse.
:04:07
Really? See, now I just feel bad
because you're gonna get fired.
:04:12
You can't be serious. You disappear
for 10 years, show up, and rob me?
:04:15
I wish it wasn't you. I do. Really.
:04:19
- But...
- But it is me, Sinbad.
:04:20
You know, our actors are actually
never in the same room together.
:04:23
This is a marvelous bit of dialogue...
:04:26
between Brad Pitt and Joseph Fiennes.
:04:28
Joseph was recorded in Germany,
and Brad Pitt, here in Los Angeles.
:04:32
The two gentlemen didn't meet
until the end of the picture.
:04:36
One of the many sort of fun things
as a director...
:04:39
is working with your talent
and trying to help them connect...
:04:42
with somebody who's often recording
remotely or on a totally different day.
:04:48
This little bit coming up here...
:04:51
where Sinbad and Proteus' conflict
over the Book comes to a head...
:04:54
was actually done many times. And we
debated whether or not to have them...
:04:58
actually draw their swords on one another.
But we figured the stakes were so high...
:05:02
that we sort of had to go this far.
:05:04
The tone of the scene is more like...
:05:07
the relationship might have been
10 years ago.
:05:09
Sort of a friendly competition
with smiles on their faces...
:05:12
and almost a bluff
and challenge sort of a thing...
:05:14
that doesn't quite escalate to a real fight.
:05:17
They're more trying to disarm each other
than actually cut.
:05:23
Is our sea monster cool or what?
:05:25
We're so proud of him.
He went through a few iterations.
:05:27
He started out looking like Elmo.
We had a Muppet version of him.
:05:30
A giant sock puppet sea monster.
:05:32
But he had racing stripes.
:05:35
But we went back to the books,
and I think it was Richie Chavez...
:05:38
who contributed most heavily
to his design...
:05:40
and came up with this crustacean,
tentacled, lobster-squid guy.
:05:46
I think almost in one swipe...
:05:47
he designed all the celestial creatures,
and the sea monster to boot.
:05:53
Probably one of the most complex, rigged...
:05:57
3D characters I think done...
:05:59
- In history, not just in this movie.
- Just amazing.
