Ms. Jean Sheard, owner of the Lacock bakery,
as well as other villagers, were worried that the
filming of The Wolfman in their town would disrupt
their annual Scarecrow Festival, which is being held
from April 4 to April 20, 2008.
Ms. Sheard said: "We had been concerned about
The Wolfman being shot at the same time, but to be
honest we have not seen much of the film crews at all."

Hundreds of film fanatics descended on
Lacock today for the filming of The Wolf Man.
With a production crew of nearly 300 people
the usually tranquil National Trust village was
turned into hectic film set.
Benicio, Hugo Weaving and Emily Blunt were
all in the village filming at the Tithe Barn and
an outbuilding next to the post office.
Production member Matt Hamish said: "We
have had a really good day of filming and actually
got ahead of ourselves which never really happens.
"The public have been really good and
done everything we asked them to do.
"It's a lovely place to shoot because everywhere
you look there is something else that catches
your eye and you want to use."
Much of the filming was shot inside the Tithe Barn
where huge blocks of ice and models of dead bodies
where strewn across the floor and hanging by metal hooks.
Dozens of extras dressed in Victorian clothes
were also used in some of the exterior shots
outside the barn with Benicio.

The historic village of Castle Combe was given
a 19th century makeover this week as filming
of The Wolfman got underway.
A Wolfman publicist said: "It is all going really well.
We are very pleased with the set and all the people
in Castle Combe have been very co-operative."
They are now in their sixth week of filming
and expect to be finished in June.
Production crews from Universal Studios
have been in the village for a few days
preparing the Tithe Barn and High Street.

The one-day-shoot of The Wolfman in the village
of Lacock will be taking place today.
The National Trust's historic Tithe Barn will be
transformed into an ice house for the storing of
dead bodies, while a garage next to number 13 High Street
will become a blacksmith's, where gold bullets will be forged.
Crews have been in Lacock preparing since last week,
with the clear up set to last until Monday.
Preparation was due to run until 9 PM last night
to ensure that today's filming went without a hitch.
Filming is scheduled to run from 11 AM to 9 PM.
Huge blocks of ice will be loaded into the Tithe Barn, with a
cooling system in place to stop it from melting. Lighting
cranes, called genie booms, will be used to shine into the
barn to aid filming. A smoke machine will be used for effect
at both the Tithe Barn and the High Street garage.
Alternative parking for villagers has been provided in a field
next to the Red Lion pub and marshals are stationed in the
village to shepherd cars and pedestrians along East Street.
A sum of £5,000 has been donated by the film company to
Lacock Parish Council and the National Trust. Residents
were also in line for a payout for the inconvenience.

The reason that the release date of The Wolfman has been
shifted from February 13, 2009 to April 3, 2009 is because
Universal wanted a few more months for its completion.

me get started in the business. Benicio also directed me

The set of The Wolfman at the Old Royal Naval College
is closed for the night shooting. That is when the fog
machines are used and some 150 costumed extras
are in place. The fog machines are not so much about
atmosphere as they are about obscuring all those
tell-tale signs of modernity such as cars,
blocks of flats and overhead aircraft.
Here are some more photos taken on the set of The Wolfman:

(none of which was there last week).

For the last couple of days, most of the filming
of The Wolfman has been taking place in the evening
at Greenwich University. The first unit will be pulling out
soon. A lit-up theatre facade has been created on the
music school building across from the painted chapel.
It's all horses, carts and fog.

Technical trivia:
Steven Soderbergh filmed
Guerrilla with two RED beta prototypes,
"Mars" and "Bombay", in the steaming hot
jungles of Spain. Then he filmed The Argentine
in SoderScope. He used "Paris" and "Beijing",
two 25 pre-production cameras, and shot anamorphic.
Mr. Soderbergh had so much confidence in
RED resolution that he used only about 2.4K's worth
of RED, with a completely different look for each movie.

Argentinian Sebastián Paz worked as an extra
in The Argentine and Guerrilla. Mr. Paz taught
Benicio how to make mate.
Besides being one of the 200 extras in the films,
Mr. Paz shares one of the scenes with Benicio
drinking mate. In another scene, Mr. Paz plays
the guitar, for they asked him some Cuban song
classes and to thank him the production included
him in some shots.
