Cruz finds herself among lost patrol during 'Sahara' shoot
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/feature...nelopecruz.htmlFor her latest movie, Penelope Cruz wandered off into the desert and was never heard from again.
Well, not quite. But shooting the action flick "Sahara" in the African desert, Cruz did have an anxious moment when she got lost heading to the set one day.
"It was five in the morning and I fell asleep in the car, and when I woke up, it was just me and my driver," Cruz told The Associated Press in an interview. "We had lost the security car behind, and I looked north, nothing, south, nothing. East, west, not one light."
Nothing but endless sand surrounded them. The driver had a walkie-talkie, "but it was funny to hear the conversation, because they're going, 'Where are you?' 'Well, where are you?' And you're not in a place where there's a sign. There's nothing. The feeling is a little scary at the beginning."
"And then I just said, 'You know what? I'm going to go back to sleep," she added, laughing.
They eventually caught sight of the set and arrived safely. The crew did have to shoot one of her scenes with a double while Cruz was lost.
