Andrew Stephenson is an animal wrangler, who hunts down exotic and often grisly creatures for film crews. His latest project is in the Isle of Man on the set of Trauma, where he has the unique job of spraying the former
Mr Darcy and theAmerican Beauty actress with ants.
"Colin Firth had to have about 50 ants on his arms, chest and legs for around two hours while they filmed. He was amazingly stoical about it, especially as the ants kept running off him, so we had to keep rounding them up and putting them back."
Andrew used special sprays to make sure they didn't run up her nose or into her ears, and she remained remarkably calm. "I explained to all the actors beforehand that the ants would not harm them and that I could round them up at any time."

Something happened on the set of "Trauma".......
*** Trauma messes with you mind ***
Unfortunately the "practical joke" no longer seems to work anymore.......
If you use the form to email the clip to a friend....your friend will not see the name "Peter Riley*" etched on the arm but his or her own name!
*Peter Riley can be seen etched into the side of the cabin in "My Little Eye" . You can't see it unless you pause it. "My Little Eye" is another horror movie of which Marc Evans got very well known for.

 From london-se1.co.uk, 23/5/03:
Colin Firth has been filming in Lower Marsh (London) with market traders hired as extras. The Waterloo market was transformed for the three days of filming with extra stalls on both sides of the street and shops restocked for filming. The film company has paid £4000 to the traders to fund promoting the market which has recently suffered a loss in customer numbers following further office closures. Lower Marsh has also been promised a mention in the credits.

From the Daily Mail, 27 June 2003:
Colin Firth leads me through the basement room. "The blood on there looks real, doesn't it?" he says, pointing to the doors of what appears to be a body freezer in a morgue. "We're in a morgue?" I ask. "It's a morgue - but it's not really". In fact it's a carefully cobwebbed, blood splattered set for his new film - a very different affair from his romantic lead role as Mark Darcy in Bridget Jones's Diary. He stars with Mena Suvari in Trauma, a psychological chiller, which Marc Evans is directing for the aptly named Ministry of Fear film company. On this day, however, they're shooting in the bowels of the old Midland Hotel by St. Pancras station, London. Some of the cast and crew believe it's haunted.
| The wife of Colin's character, Ben, has been killed in a car crash: "My apartment is an old ward in an old hospital and this is supposed to be the morgue." Although I know it's only a movie, the place gives me the creeps.
As Colin puts it, his character "is deeply traumatized and he has a problem recalling what his reality was before the car accident, so we see the world through his very confused eyes. He lives alone in this flat and his world is very unsettling."
Colin thinks a little bit of fear is good for us. "If you spend your life wanting to keep everything light, you might end of a little bit twisted. I'd be suspicious of someone who is only ever laughing."
