B.C. horses sent to Alta,
for Japanese movie
VANCOUVER. — Shipping
horses to Alberta for a
Japanese movie sounds a littie like sending coals to New­
castle or egos to Hollywood.
But that's what Eileen
Payton and Patty Proudfoot
are doing.
The two make their living
supplying animals to the
moview. They just rounded
up 300 horses in Maple Ridge
and shipped them to Morley,
Alta., fora huge, 16th Century
Japanese samurai epic.

Payton's company, Payton
and Scott Motion Picture
Animals, has provided a yak
named Grunt for a B.C. Tel
; commercial and a Llama nam­
ed Lyle for a London Drugs
TV ad. But she's never pro­
vided animals for a samurai
flick before.

“We're absolutely delight­

Norman Morris, a member of
the Burlington Mundialization
Committee. “We're very en­
thusiastic and positive about
the whole thing right now.”
Negotiations for the twin­
ning began in the summer of
1987.and were finished last
- October? -when Burlington
Mayor Roly Bird led a group
to Itabashi.
The second half of the
twinning ceremonies will be

The movie, Heaven and
Earth, is currently filming in
Japan, but will soon begin
rolling in Alberta. With a
budget of almost $50 million,
it claims to be the largest
Japanese movie production
ever. It stars Ken Watanabe, ’
featured in last year's Tampopo.
On the prairie west of
Calgary, the production plans
to mount a series of epic bat­
tle scenes with between
2,500 and 3,000 extras in full
samurai worrier costume.
They'll be riding more than
800 horses, which is where
Payton and Proudfoot come
in.
Heaven and Earth — a
working title that may be
changed — is scheduled for
worldwide release sometime
next year.
(Cont. from page 1)
The twinning has sparked a
healthy spirit of business
exchange between the two
cities, Morris says. “I'm
continuously getting letters
from businesses in the com­
munity wondering how to get
involved.”
The Burlington Chamber of
Commerce plans to send rep­
resentatives to Japan, and re­
cently had Barry Steers, the
Canadian ambassador to Ja­
pan, to speak to the business
community.
