Olga Kurylenco & Costume for Neil Marshall's Centurion

I have finally completed the costume for the forthcoming Neil Marshall Film Centurion which has now started filming. The kit which was designed by Costumier Keith Maddon (Eden Lake amongst other films) included principal costume for Etain played by Olga Kurylenco. Her kit included 6 tunics and 4 pairs of chaps (for Olga and her stunt double). I also made her belts and bags.

Other items included a deer skin tunic for the pict king -'Gorlacon', his belts and a further 10 sets of belts, greaves and bracers for Etain's warrior clan.

It was an eye opener to work with Keith Maddon who had exciting ideas regarding the look of the film as well as an eye for detail (something I can relate to!) and it was great to have the opportunity to meet the charming Olga during the fitting process. Overall it was a fantastic experience and although time was short it was great fun. Massive thanks to Lee Cooke - without his help it would have been impossible.
