My brother Eric is actually working on the set. He got me in to check things out and do some contract bodywork for the cast and crew. They are doing some amazing stuff down there @ the Steel blast furnaces, re-creating a slice of the city of Shanghai. They made these big fake concrete tubes that special effects will blow up into the air with all these hydraulic cannons. They created a killer little street and village, and the furnaces are all going to be lit up for the night shots. I was able to sneak all around in the old blast furnaces for about 2 hours checking the old works out - toooooo rad to sneak in there.
The shooting commences on Tuesday -- it should be really cool.
The pic is of my brother in front of some Chinese characters they made, that say "entrance" basically. I think it is the entrance to the steet market that they are creating, which gets all blowed up. Wheee..... hollywood.
