ERIC SCHWAB CHOSE HER TO PLAY THE TICKET-TAKER, FROM AMONG MANY EXTRAS
Soraya Secci, an actress from Cagliari, tells LinkOristano's Marcello Atzeni that she plays a small role in the climactic bullfight sequence of Brian De Palma's Domino (which this Italian article states will be released to theaters between this September and October). Eric Schwab, who has worked with De Palma for decades, was the second unit director on Domino.Last September, for a scene at the entrance of the bullfight arena (the bulk of the bullfight arena sequence had already been shot in Almería), Schwab filmed at ExMà (EXhibiting and Moving Arts) in Cagliari. "The finale," Secci tells Atzeni, "envisaged a ticket-taker at the entrance of the bullring. Schwab believed it was a suitable role for a woman. He examined the curriculum of the extras, and among the many he chose me. I was called to do a test and he was happy with it."
Secci delves a bit more into what her role invloves, but without giving away too much: "The film ends at the entrance of the bullfight, where I have a discussion with a man who, despite having no ticket, wants at all costs to enter to see the show. I am firm, as it is logical to deny him entry. At this point.." Atzeni presses her on that last point, and Secci smiles, "I can not add the details."
Secci talks enthusiastically to Atzeni about working on this scene: "I'm still in disbelief I got this role, albeit small. I was already happy to make the appearance, let alone now! It was a very important experience. I had never filmed a scene until then, without having tried it before and for a long time. The test, as mentioned, went very well, then the final part was shot. I found myself at ease in a set so big for me, with experienced and famous actors. Everything has been encouraging and enlightening: really anything can happen. I had fun and felt enriched."
