Despite the short schedule, all of the requisite silicone makeups and masks had been built and shipped by the time Shane Mahan and a crew of makeup artists left for Australia, where the film was being shot. "There hadn't been any time to test these makeups," Mahan said, "which made me a little nervous. I was also worried about the fact that I was only going to have 14 makeup artists on the production with me, which was a small crew to take care of 42 characters. But, even with all of that, I left for Australia feeling good about the characters we'd created and the upcoming shoot." That feeling wouldn't last long. In fact, trouble started the very day Shane arrived in Australia. "After a 20-hour flight, I got there, only to hear that Richard Stanley, the director, had been fired that day. They'd only been shooting for two weeks, but Richard had run into problems with some of the actors and the studio, and so he was fired. Their plan was to find another director and start up shooting again, right away."
