Script To Screen


Okimitsu Fujii in action

By the 24th August, line amendments had been issued to change Maya's transformation to a "warrior". The scene was filmed on Friday 17th September, with Okimitsu Fujii as the kendoka (kendo practioner). Fujii Sensei is one of the founding fathers of kendo and iaido (Japanese fencing) in Britain. In addition to this stunt scene, various other corridor scenes were filmed. Note the use of "cut outs" as well as "Jelly suits" to represent the aliens.
