A tough 18-hour prison shoot in Sam Rockwell and Hilary Swank's new movie "Conviction" had to be filmed again when the footage was destroyed by an X-Ray machine at an airport. Director Tony Goldwyn admits the shoot was one of the toughest he has ever experienced and he was glad when it was over - only to discover days later he and his cast and crew had to do it all over again.
He tells WENN, "We had just completed the four most difficult prison scenes and we had a limited time to shoot them all, so it was the toughest day and an 18-hour day. We were all hugging each other thinking the work was so great."
"The next day we were shooting in downtown Detroit and my producer, Andy Sugarman, comes up to me and says, 'We may have a problem. The film on it's way to the lab at the airport was X-Rayed by Northwest Airlines. I was like, 'All over the film canister it says DO NOT X-RAY, and we paid an exorbitant amount of money to have a special courier, and it was X-Rayed!' "
