シネマ英会話＜番外編＞

　 ★ロケ地はいかがでしたか？

　 メリル・ストリープ：
Actually we shot a lot of this in Pinewood studios in the rainiest summer that they had ever known in England. They had floods that had carried away Glousteshire. We were shooting on the James Bond set. And it has a tin roof, so every time the rain would come down there would be this (loud) sound. And so we just cranked the music up and went over it. But then at the end of the shoot we did go to Skopelos, Skiathos and the part of Greek peninsula that is up on the Northern Aegean coast and its called Pelion, a town called Damouchari where we shot ‘Dancing Queen’ and they were having the driest summer in recent history. Terrible, terrible fires and they were bemoaning the fact that tourism was really going to suffer and we have single-handedly reversed that I think with Mamma Mia, because we shot in one of the most beautiful, lush, green places in Greece and they have had a real infusion of tourists so that is another happy ending to Mamma Mia!

実はほとんどはロンドンのパインウッドスタジオでの撮影だったの。ロンドンは元々雨が多いけどその中でもとりわけ雨の多い夏で、スタジオには『007』の撮影で使ったトタン屋根のセットがあったんだけど、雨が降るとうちつける雨音がすごくて、音楽の音量を上げて雨音を消して撮影していたわ。その年の夏はロンドン近郊で洪水が起こるほどひどい雨だったの。その後ギリシャのエーゲ海の北の方にある街に移って「ダンシング・クイーン」などのシーンを撮ったんだけど、こっちは歴史的な少雨の年で、しかも大規模な山火事もあって現地の観光はどん底だったのよ。そんな時にこの映画を撮影したんだけど、そうしたら『マンマ・ミーア！』が大ヒットして、そのおかげで撮影地だった周辺の観光事業も復活したの。
