March 7, 2002 — Samantha Mumba talks about filming The Time Machine. First off, she talks about learning to speak a new language for her character Mara, an "Eloi" who lives 800,000 years in the future. According to Mumba, she had to learn it phonetically, which was made easier because of its similarity to the Irish language.
Mumba said she did most of her stunts, which included being pulled under the sand by a monstrous "Morlock."
"There was no acting. That was genuine fear," she said. "It was disgusting, actually, to do. But afterward you got a bit of a buzz."
Mumba reveals that she has little interest in time travel although she might like a peek at the future.
"I'd like to go forward, see if I had family, what they were like, that would be really exciting," she chuckled. "See my husband."
