The captain and the girl of "ghost Boat"

Of the terror to the sharks to the fear to Bush

LOS ANGELES. - As one good can be imagined, "ghost Boat" - that was released the day before yesterday is only one film of terror. But for its main protagonists, Gabriel Byrne and Julianna Margulies, the experience had its quota of true fear.

"We filmed in Australia and the sea was filled with sharks", counted Byrne, for whom to put in the water was everything a challenge since it does not know to swim. Ironically, Byrne incarnates to Sean captain Murphy, who commands a group of experts in marine rescues contracted to recover the rest of the Antonia Graza, a cruise of missing luxury mysteriously in 1962 in the sea of Bering. The key piece of the equipment, and only woman of the group, is the reckless Maureen Epps (Margulies), motor force of "ghost Boat", directed by Steve Beck ("Thirteen ghosts").

"I had to pass 65 of the 68 days of wet shooting; with the feet in the water, submerged, or with the water striking to me the face. So I do not want to never return to the water more ", it commented world-wide joking Margulies, well-known by" ER Emergencies ".

Ever since it left the series in 2000, Margulies, New Yorker of 36 years, made the dramas "The man from Elysian Fields", with Mick Jagger and Andy Garci'a, and "Evelyn", next to Pierce Brosnan. To be part of a terror film and much action was amazing in the beginning for her, who considers a "actress of method".

"She was very nervous and it had taken me everything very seriously until George Clooney made give me account me of what this film treated really - Margulies indicated, that has one narrow friendship with its ex- companion of" ER "and in the film also it works next to his fiancè, Ron Eldard, who interprets Dodge technician -. George said to me: "Outcry, ríete, you do what is, but you you so do not take it in serious". It helped much with my fear and doubts me about my personage; it clarified me that in this type of films to the public she does not matter to him how the personage feels, but what beams to feel them to them. To him it happened to him the same with "the perfect storm"."

Byrne did not have that problem: "I like to vary all along, to happen of the drama to the action, the theater to the terror. And, in addition, I amuse horrors with the fear films; I like to scare people and that scares to me ", she pointed the Irish actor, remembered by his performance in" Stigmata "and" the suspects of always ", and to who, nevertheless, says, the public generally confuses with the musicians Peter Gabriel and Brian Ferry.

To the 52 years, to Byrne the consequences worry to him that the war with Iraq will have for the world and says very serious: "I do not fear the ghosts to them, but to president Bush".

On the other hand, Margulies less is worried about international the political reality and more concentrated in its race post-"ER":

- you regret at some moment for having left "ER"?

- No, I do not regret. The stranger, but I am friend of all and we are ourselves followed.

- it bothers to You that the public recognizes you by your work in "ER"?

- No, because without "ER" it had not had any of the other films. You must have perspective, "ER" has been a fantastic springboard. Very I am been thankful by the films that I have made thanks to "ER", have been very different projects and each turn has had sense.

- You continue seeing the series?

- no. Is that to me it would put nostalgic. Now elenco is everything different. But if there is something nonstrange are the medical terms, it never could learn them. In that I feel a great lightening.

- You would return?

- No, he would be annoying for new elenco. It is going to them very well and they do not need that they return old personages.
