On August 9, the crew returned to Kinuseo Falls, sans Barnes or any actors, to film some extra footage of the scenery, as well as of the river, for a scene where a computer generated monster will be swept down river. [...]

In the script, a creature, called a boggart, is fighting with our hero, the Apprentice of the local Spook whose job it is to keep the County safe from “the dark”: boggarts, ghosts and witches. They have fallen into the river, and are washed downstream, fighting as they go, right over the brink of the falls.

We have built some very big sets, loosely based on a 14th or 15th century road show across Asia, and we’re really trying to develop that look. It’s going through some very interesting geography to tell us we’re moving as we try and get to Pendle Mountain, which is where the witches come from. So we have a series of locations that are moving us forward.

Kinuseo Falls is an important scene in the movie. “As the boggart is chasing our actors they jump off the cliffs into the river. They’re fighting with the boggart. It can come out of anywhere, and it’s fairly large—about a 20 or 25 foot monster. It comes out of the river, and they’re fighting it and go over the waterfall…

We had to have the actor come out of the water, so we had to consider his safety and health and welfare with wetsuit, drysuit, hair and makeup and costume. We tried to downsize and streamline the process, because there just wasn’t much space down there. But we also weren’t able to get back to get what we needed.

Everything went perfectly that day. Sun was setting fairly late that day. We were here as late as we could be. Dusk was creeping up on us when we left. And we flew to Alberta the next morning.

Когда видишь декорации, понимаешь, что это будет высокобюджетный фильм. Они могли бы прибегнуть к компьютерной графике, но построили большой замок и настоящие макеты.

Я был немного разочарован тем, что в изначальную историю внесли некоторые изменения, но остаются персонажи, в том числе Ведьмак, которого играет Джефф Бриджес. Не могу представить его подписывающим долговременный договор, но кинокомпания действительно имеет первоочередное право на покупку второй книги, если они захотят снять ещё один фильм.
