This film is based on the book that goes by the same name and I was Saddam's Sonwritten by Latif Yahia and Karl Wenl.
This was shot from Feb 10 to April 10 and I worked on this with the AD dept. It was almost all filmed on RED didgital cams and all on differant locations.
It is about Uday Hussein and his relationship with his 'fiday' Latif Yahia,(body double) and Uday's concubine, Sarrab. Its dubbed as Scraface gangster movie.
Dominic Cooper plays a dual role, filling in the boots of both main characters Uday and Latif, While Ludivine plays Sarrab.
I got to work with Lee Tamahori, Dominic Cooper, Ludivine Sagnier, Philip Quast and many other actors, whom I deem professional on so may levels. The DP was Sam McCurdy, great fella who also worked on The Descent and Dog Soldiers and Steve Griffin and Lubo Misak both stunt coordinators with years of stunt experience in their field. as well as Matthew Penry Davie and Lance Roehrig (In Bruges, Lord of War, 10,000 BC, Hotel Rwanda, Me and orson Welles)
Even got to shake hands with the real Latif Yahia, same person who stood with Saddam Hussein and Uday Hussein.
Set PA however I also contributed as a Stand-In and a double for 5 Characters + Uday's Groin. Quite tiresome, however very insightful and a great experience.
