The Record Mail is confirming an earlier report from thephantommenace.co.uk that Ray Park's voice would not be used for that of Darth Maul. Here's an excerpt from the article. See article link above for the whole post:
Ray, who had his head shaved for the role, developed his own moves for Darth Maul using his martial arts knowledge. But nothing could have prepared him for the gruelling two-and-a-half hours he had to spend in make up every day.
He is full of praise for his co-stars, Liam Neeson, who plays Qui-Gon Jinn, and Ewan, who plays Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Ray added: "The last fight Ewan and I did was really fiery. We both really went for it. The energy we had was really good."
Another actor's voice will be used for Darth Maul, but the leaps, kicks and somersaults are all Ray's own. Ray's father was just as pleased about his son's role. Ray said: "My parents came down to the set to watch me and my dad was like a big kid. He couldn't believe it. He likes Star Wars too, we used to watch the films all the time."
So who was it? Suprisingly, they decided to leave that little detail out. . . although we're sure it will turn up soon. |
