Filming A Movie On A Train

Emily Mortimer is in a new film called "Transsiberian". She plays Jessie, a former bad girl now doubtfully married to a church-going, happy-go-lucky train nut. After a peace mission in China, they take the title train and wind up entrenched in drugs, murder and other unforeseen troubles.

Many scenes were filmed on actual trains and had to make use of the existing structures like the bunkbeds to get the right camera angles.

Most of the time you'd be in the real space. You'd have a cameraman above you on the bunkbed and a sound man crouched in the closet. It was fantastic.
