Cool! I spoke to him today about the effects and the training the cast did. What did he say about 'the lost footage' and 'airbrushing'? I meant to ask him about that.
There were scenes where Ephilates throws himself off a cliff after Leonidis turn him down but he cant die because he is cursed which gives weight to Leonidis' line at the end of the film about Ephilates living forever. There was also meant to be more stuff about his parents, not a flashback but more poetry(?) I think he said?? He sais he could vouch for the cast pumping iron cos they
were ripped anyway even if they were airbrushed too, he saw the cast do press ups all the time inbetween takes to stay pumped up.
He mainly go the part cos he was the only person who knew who Frank Miller even was and was hoping to be in Snyder's
Watchmen but suspects he wasnt cast cos he wasnt in good enough shape. Snyder also has a MySpace he said I should check out whih has many of his adverts on which he'd love to appear in for him. He is a big Frank Miller fan and loved Miller's Robocop series. He also had to workout cos the hunchback was heavy to carry and he had to move like he could be a warrior (?). He doesnt know for sure if there will def be an extended cut but he did ask cos he was sad to see any of his own scenes go but when he asked Synder what would happen to all the footage (not just the stuff on the dvd) Synder replied "Extended DVD".

, but I love it, and it was really interesting finding out a bit more about the different training schedules, diet, casting and random stuff like injuries (I'm a physio)!
