Awesome trailer and training vid!

pretty cool video. do you think thats the best type of training to do if you only have a short period of time to look good?

I was standing 3 feet away from Gerar Butler and can tell you he did not look that impressive. They just put tons of makeup on us and spray painted cuts and everything on. He was pumping up before the shoots too. Other than that I was the biggest guy there.

I really like gerard butler as an actor. I've recently seen previews for this movie and am more than excited about it. Alexxx how was it working on the set? Can you give us any inside info?

Sure just ask what you want to know. From what I remember Gerard was very much into his character. He didn't come off arrogant or anything like that but he was confident. He would focus on the camera and on the part he played. He would sort of grunt before the cue to get his voice ready. He pulled of the accent very well.
The actress Lena Headey was very cute and silly. I wasn't sure who she really was but she looked familiar. I looked at her right in the eyes and she sensed it and smiled back. We are not allowed as extras to speack to the actors but I should have! ;D
There are some stand ins. Before Gerard would have to do his part they had another look alike do it for him. Dressed almost the same just to get the view. The guy who was standing in for the black guy on the horse was a cool dude. He came up to me and asked me for size tips and the guy was pretty jacked himself.
Almost all the blades are plastic. :(

In the previews it looked as if they were fighting monsters instead of people. What's the story behind THAT?

I can't watch the training video for some reason but I did not see that guy on set. Looks pretty jacked.
