...Vemos a Elijah Wood (Sin City) hablar con la actriz Julie Cox (El viaje de Felicia). La toma se repite unas cuantas veces. Wood ríe. Parece paciente. De la Iglesia se acerca a él, le comenta algo y le da unas palmaditas en la espalda. Wood es un actor sobrenatural, comentará el realizador unos minutos más tarde, es disciplinado y buena persona. Y creo que es así porque lleva rodando desde los 8 años. No ha ido ni al colegio. Por eso siempre está tan de buen humor y nunca dice no a nada. Ayer tenía que saltar de una ventana, pero cuando llegaba al suelo se notaba que ponía la mano para frenar el golpe. OK, Alex, me dijo, lo entiendo. ¡Y en la siguiente toma se pegó un morrazo increíble!... Esta película se acabará gracias a él.
...Quien no ha tenido que imaginar demasiado ha sido Elijah Wood, explica Watling, que da vida a un enfermera a la que le atraen los hombres listos. Un personaje más frívolo de los que me suelen dar, y bastante sexual. Y que tanto Elijah como yo nunca olvidaremos, ya que he sido su primera amante delante de una cámara.Watling acaba de llegar al set. Tiene color en las mejillas. Trae el frío de la calle en ellas.Está guapa. ¡Y yo no tenía ni idea de que había sido su primera escena de cama en una peli!. Cuando acabamos la toma, bastante subidita, me dijo: Leonor, quiero que sepas que era mi primera vez...
Esta noticia urge contrastarla. Es casi más importante que el rodaje en sí. Cuando por fin nos conceden unos minutos con Wood, y después de hacerle la pregunta de rigor sobre El Señor de los Anillos y obtener una lógica respuesta (le debo mucho a este personaje, me abrió muchas puertas), confirmamos que, en efecto, Elijah, de 26 años, nunca olvidará a Leonor. Es una actriz estupenda. Muy buena compañera... y con ella he tenido mi primera escena de sexo. Me hizo sentir muy cómodo. Wood tampoco olvidará a De la Iglesia, un tío que está tan loco como yo. Que va dando besos al equipo cuando algo sale bien. ¡Al principio todos alucinamos un poco!. Todos menos los españoles, que ya lo conocían, claro.

...We see Elijah Wood (Sin City) speak with the actress Julie Cox (Felicia’s Journey). The shot repeats a few times. Wood laughs. He seems patient. De la Iglesia approaches him, he comments something to him and gives light taps in his back. Wood is a supernatural actor, the director will comment few minutes later, he is disciplined and good person. And I believe that it is thus because he takes shooting from 8 years old. It has not gone nor to school. For that reason always he is so of the good humor and he never says not to anything. Yesterday he had to jump from a window, but when he arrived at the ground it noticed that he put the hand to restrain the blow. OK, Alex, said to me, I understand it. And in the following shot he got an incredible morrazo (big crash)! … This film will finish because of him.
...Who it has not had to imagine too much has been Elijah Wood, Watling explains, that gives life to a nurse whom is attracted by the smart men. A more frivolous personage of those than usually gives me, and quite sexual. And that as much Elijah as I never we will forget, since I have been his first lover in front of camera. Watling finishes arriving at the set. It has color in the cheeks. It brings the cold of the street in them. She is handsome. And I had not any idea that was his first bed scene in one film. When we finished the shot, fairly hot, he said me: Leonor, I want that you know that was my first time…
This news is urgent to resist it. It is almost more important that the shooting itself. When finally they grant us some minutes with Wood, and after doing the rigor question to him about The Lord of the Rings, and obtaining a logical answer (I debt much to this character, opened many doors to me), he confirmed us that, in effect, Elijah, 26 years, never will forget Leonor. She is a wonderful actress. Very good partner… and with her I have had my first sex scene. She made me feel very comfortable. Wood will not forget either De la Iglesia, a guy who is as mad as I. That he is giving kisses to the crew when something comes out well. At the beggining we hallucinated a little. All except the Spaniards, who already knew him, clear.

Date: 2007-05-02 06:20 pm (UTC)..."The one guy who hsan't had to imagine much has been Elijah Wood," explains Watling, who portrays a nurse who's attracted to smart guys. "A more frivolous character than I'm usually cast as, and pretty sexual. And one that Elijah as well as I will never forget, given that I was his first screen lover." Watling has just arrived on set. There's color in her cheeks. The chill from the outside air is in them. She looks very good. "And I had no idea it was his first filmed love scene! When we finished the take, a pretty hot one, he said to me, "Leonor, I want you to know it was my first time..."
...This news cries out for reporting. It's almost more important than the filming itself. When at last we're allowed a few minutes with Wood, and after asking the obligatory questions are The Lord of the Rings and getting the obvious responses ("I owe a lot to the character, it opened many doors), we confirmed that, basically, Elijah, 26 years old, will never forget Leonor. "She's an amazing actress. A great friend...and with her I had my first sex scene. She made me feel very comfortable." Neither will Wood forget De la Iglesia, "a guy just as crazy as I am, who goes around kissing the crew when anything works out well. At first we were all a bit confused! All except the Soanish, who were already used to him, of course."
(* literal translation. But context suggest to me that his actual meaning might be "This film will be a hit because of him." Could be wrong, though.)

That's why he's always in such a good mood and never says no to anyone. Yesterday he had to jump from a window, but when he landed, you could see that he put his hand out to break his fall. 'OK, Alex,' he said to me, 'I get it.' And on the next take he slammed onto the ground really hard!...This film will get done because of him."*
Isn't he such a precious man? And a really hardworking actor. That reminds me of Viggo Mortensen.
>And I had no idea it was his first filmed love scene! When we finished the take, a pretty hot one
that makes me more curious about the scene! I want to see this movie!!! but i guess i have to wait until it comes out as DVD, bc it's a very small chance that it will be shown in my country in the theater...

Me too! Given that Elijah has already had at least one scene involving sex onscreen, I figure they must mean it's his first nude sex scene. So...yeah. Definitely.
