Kirsten Dunst and
Tobey Maguire both talked to Sci-Fi Wire about filming that damp,
upside-down kiss visible in the trailer, during which, apparently,
Maguire had a hard time breathing: "It was a challenging
scene," Maguire said. "I was hanging upside down. It was
five in the morning. Rain was going up my nose.
And then when she
lifted the mask up, the mask was then sitting on my nose, so I
couldn't breathe through my nose. And then she was kissing my mouth,
so I couldn't breathe through my mouth. And there's no other places to
breathe from. So I would have to suck air out of the corner of our
mouths." (Counting Down) |
