The Shooting Script

image image image image image image

When shooting we had one script on set that was nicknamed "The Bible" - here are some pages, dirt and all. It's got Warwick's shot list scribbles, continuity notes, drawings and bits of Delilah's real hair.

Behind the Scenes: Mums

Kath and Warwick's mums make their big screen debut in Samson & Delilah.

"Not Rocket"

Rowan enjoys the glamorous life of a movie star by carrying a dead kangaroo on his back. Samson is off to impress his girl and her nana!

"Rocket"

Rocket the kangaroo makes a cameo in Samson & Delilah. (We think Rocket is so much better than skippy.)

Behind the Scenes: Bashed Up

Warwick directs Rowan in the scene after Samson gets bashed up and Carol the makeup artist gets creative with fake blood.

Behind the Scenes: Blood

Makeup artist Carol Cameron applies Rowan's special FX makeup for the first time.

Ask Warwick: Why does Samson wear a Birthday Party t-shirt?

From the very first draft of the script, Samson put on a t-shirt from the band Birthday Party when he gets dressed to go and see Delilah. In pre-production, the costumer Heather Wallace made a t-shirt to Warwick's specifications -- one that he remembered having as a teenager. It was only then that Warwick told us the story of that t-shirt.

"Shame"

One week until we start shooting and Warwick takes Marissa and Rowan to the community location of Jay Creek to rehearse.
