'Sanctum' Cast describe Surviving Frigid, Soggy Shoot

Given the glamorous life stereotyped and apparently fondled of actors, their audience complain about harsh conditions during filming not necessarily strike a sympathetic chord in the average fan.

Unless, of course, that movie is "Sanctum," produced by James Cameron underwater 3D thriller in which filming conditions requires conversion to submerge in cold temperatures for hours and sometimes days - in the extreme.

When MTV News caught up with castmembers Richard Roxburgh and Rhys Wakefield, ask what happens to your body when you spend much time under water.

"What happens to the skin is not so much a problem, is what happens with his personality, after you have 60,000 litres of water falling on the head for 14 hours?" said Roxburgh.

"In the cold tremor," said Wakefield.

"It was as if the environments were dictating performance both." You could be doing something you don't like to do and it was harsh and cruel and unjust, "Roxburgh jokingly whined." "Dictaría performance much time, and I think that is good." "I think it shows in the film."

So how does one maintain sanity and bodily function under these conditions??

"Would do a lot of push-ups inbetween [takes] really - just to stay alive, I think," explained in Wakefield. "The stages of sound shot in, had you can set this [temperature] because the 3D cameras don't like anything about any temperature human [body]." It was cold in these sets we were rolling in, so we were huddled already in space blankets or that we were simply doing push-ups in freeze. We had to stop using the space blankets, actually, because were leaving a residue of silver in our costumes. "It was fun."

Check everything that we "sanctum."
