Then there was another scene, filmed in a water tank with a horse that became spooked by the pyrotechnics, which apparently led to an explosion detonating closer to the actors than it should have.
“I remember a hard, crushing sensation in my chest and being carried towards an ambulance as the crew looked on, alarmed. I remember that the doctors were kind, that my parents were told there was nothing wrong with me and that I went back to work the next day. The scenes with explosions continued, each one terrifying me more than the last,” Polley wrote.
She also shared written exchanges between herself and Gilliam when she was an adult. In one, she wrote, “I know i had some fun as well, but it’s pretty much obliterated by the sense of fear and exhaustion and of not being protected by the adults around me. And again, the adults who should have been there to protect me were my parents, not you. This of course took some time to arrive at. I admit i was pretty furious at you for a lot of years.”
