Can you please elaborate on your character in the film?
Steven: I play the character D’Leh, and he is the outsider of the tribe. His father had abandoned the group, and D’Leh, the son, was the one who suffered the repercussions with the rest of the tribe members.

What was D’Leh’s journey like?
Steven: The physical journey of D’Leh, Tic’Tic, Ka’Ren and Baku is to find their family members and bring them home.

How is the story related to the modern times?
Steven: I think there is something really beautiful about how the human condition really doesn’t change no matter how, what time period it takes place in. I think what makes human beings human is that there is love, compassion, conscience and sympathy. I think it’s a story that anybody can relate no matter what time period you live in.

How was the experience to be trained as a hunter?
Steven: I only changed actions and activities based on the fact that these people have been hunting for food their whole life. I think there is more of a survival athleticism about the way that they do things, and I think it’s a bit rougher. But other than that I certainly didn’t want to dumb down the character or the people.

Camilla Belle (Evolet)
Can you tell us about your character in 10,000 BC?
Camilla: I play Evolet, and she’s the young girl of the film, the love interest. And she’s actually an orphan. She was brought in from another tribe from across the mountains. And her and D’Leh, who’s the lead male character, end up falling in love at a very young age. And she gets taken away and, by the Warlord. And kind of the rest of the film is really D’Leh trying to find her, and her struggles with the Warlord.

What is the theme of the film?
Camilla: The heart of it is an actually love story. And there’s drama and action sequences, and bunch of extras and a million things going on. But is about two people that are in love, and are taken away from each other and have to find each other again.

The location in the film has heavy snow to the desserts, so how was your experience? 
Camilla: We started in New Zealand, in the South Island, this little town called Wanaka, which now we all remember in a very fond way , and then we’d shot up on top of this mountain. It was freezing. It was very, very cold and the snow up to our knees and kind of trekking through the snow, and the wind, snowstorms, and mud, and rain, and it was rough. But, now we look back at it, kind of missing it at the same time, ‘cause it was really beautiful.

So how was it working with director Roland Emmerich?
Camilla: It’s been crazy. He has so much energy and he’s running from, he just sees every single detail. Like a leaf that’s not in place. He’ll go and he’ll move it himself. And he runs from place to place. But he’s so specific which is incredible. And he has four cameras going on at the same time. It was really admirable. He can see every single shot, and every single minute detail. It’s really incredible to watch him work. He has a lot of energy. He’s just there all the time.
