MARGUILES: 'SNAKES NOTHING COMPARED TO SWIMMING WITH SHARKS'

JULIANNA MARGUILES found filming with reptiles on SNAKES ON A PLANE easy compared to swimming with sharks in GHOST SHIP. Marguiles spent weeks in Australian waters while filming the spooky thriller Down Under in 2002, without realising she was only metres away from the carnivorous fishes. She says, "Ghost Ship was much scarier because we were in Australia, and no one really cared. I swam in the water all night long and the next day there was this huge thing in the newspaper that said 'Ex-ER star risks her life for movie. Did they not tell her about the shark attack?' "I was in the water all night, and apparently there were sharks that had come down from the Great Barrier Reef because of a school of tuna. But I survived. "Snakes on a Plane was so much fun."
