Tablets of the Gods is now two whole weeks into production. Crew has been working hard to facilitate the detailed requirements of each scenes 1920's setting, and to portray the stories atmosphere effectively. Still a long way to go from completion, but the film is shaping up nicely to finish primary photography by the end of April.
Rony Kramer, the Parisian actor from such roles as Ramos Garcia in Jean-Luc Godard's '04 film, Notre Musique and Dzhaffad in the '07 film, Apocalypse Code has recently been brought on board for the Tablets of the Gods filming, currently in progress. With this comes the announcement of his role, the mysterious character Abdul the Arab, who shares Alfred Ebor's obsession for the discovery of the lost "truth of the gods."
More information on Ron and his past work can be viewed here.
Production crew started work on TOTG's shooting schedule this past Saturday, March 13th. On Saturday, we took camera and cast up into the Scottish mountains, working towards the second half of a "dream sequence", where Laidlaw is searching for a distant Alfred Ebor, but doesn't really find what he expects.
Shooting schedule currently has TOTG production running into late April, though several locations/actors are still in negotiations.
