From BeeHiveCity:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been here for training, because I\u2019m going to be here for a year so the amount of work and the work we\u2019ll be getting up to means we all have to be fit, you know, and a few of us are getting on a bit, so we\u2019ve been training and horse-riding and doing stunts and all that kind of thing, and then we start.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/em>From\u00a0ContactMusic.com:<\/p>\n

“We haven’t started filming, we got here mid-January and we were supposed to rehearse, doing lots of horse-riding and framing and stunts and all that, but then Peter got ill, he had a perforated ulcer, so filming was delayed for a few weeks.\u00a0Filming starts in about three weeks and I start in a month, but it’s been great, so I’ve had lots of time off.\u00a0A typical day will be little bit of training, doing a bit of that, trying to get strong, and then doing lots of stunt fights and movement, then going out and horse-riding. I mean, it’s basically playing is what we’re doing.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
