THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE NEVER DID RUN smooth. Just ask Armstrong, who first laid adoring eyes on the manuscript of Peter Carey's 1988 Booker Prize winner a decade ago but passed on adapting it to film because she thought it couldn't be affordably done. After director John Schlesinger dropped into and out of the project, Armstrong pounced, spening nearly five years refining the script -- about a priest and his heiress soul mate -- and raising the $13 million required (a vast sum for an Aussie film)). The greatest trial of all: shooting the transport of a full-scale glass chapel down a river in a rain forest. "It rained every 15 minutes," recalls Armstrong. "The crew were constantly up and down ladders wiping off the glass." During the shoot, a flood forced Blanchett and Fiennes to wear waist high plastic bags below camera range. "Every morning I felt I was in over my head," says Blanchett, speaking both literally and figuratively. "But I do like a challenge." (Nov. 7)Please visit the other link
