What makes this even more funny: Jeremy Irons said in an interview that he took on the role only because he needed the paycheck to pay for the renovation of his newly aquired castle. After the first couple of days of shooting, he realised that this movie is gonna be a total failure and he and his co-star Bruce Payne (''Damodar'') decided to have at least some fun and hammed it up to 11. xD

There are three types of acting going on in this movie from all the performers. 1. Those who are legit trying to elevate the material (bless them). Zoe McLellan, Justin Whalen, and dare I say Marlon Wayans were all trying. Whalen and Wayans had good chemistry and McLellan really worked well with them too and if the film had been better written, and really just all around better made, these three actors would be well remembered. 2. Those who know the movie is going to suck and just have a gas with it. Irons and Payne of course. Jeremy Irons is an international treasure just like Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellan. 3. Those who know the movie is shit and just die on screen. Thora Birch. Good lord you can just watch the painful journey in her eyes as she succumbs to the garbage she is given to say. She was probably cussing her agent out when she wasn’t on camera.
