And during this time, one woman named Margret Wittmer (who is played by Sydney Sweeney) gave birth to her child during some dire circumstances&#8230;and not a hospital was in sight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When CinemaBlend had the chance to speak to <em>Eden<\/em>\u2019s director, Ron Howard, along with star Jude Law, about shooting the movie, which occurred in the Australian wilderness, I had to ask Howard about what it was like to direct Sydney Sweeney during her chilling birthing scene. In his words:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The big main day when [we were focusing on Sydney Sweeney] straining, trying to fend off the dogs while going through contractions, it was over a hundred degrees, the day that we were shooting that. And, she was just tough as nails, and totally committed to the process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s not spoiling the scene at all to share that this <em>Eden<\/em> scene is truly harrowing to watch, because you won\u2019t truly know what I\u2019m talking about until you see it for yourself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The movie based on Margret Wittmer\u2019s accounts of life on the Galapagos\u2019 island of Floreana is a fascinating one because it shows how she and the other settlers couldn\u2019t escape society\u2019s problems despite literally leaving their own countries. Howard continued by speaking about what Margret did and didn&#8217;t detail about her birth, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Margret&#8217;s description of it is not as detailed, but a version of this happened. And, that&#8217;s how Rolf was born, alone in that cave surrounded by wild dogs. So it was a difficult scene. [They were] trained dogs, but having to get them amped up and fired up, and it was shot over a period of days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Along with Howard telling us that <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/time-poisonous-spider-dropped-sydney-132315235.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:an actual poisonous spider hijacked one of the shots he did with Sweeney;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><u>an actual poisonous spider hijacked one of the shots he did with Sweeney<\/u><\/a>, he spoke to how difficult it was to shoot the birthing scene, between the intensely hot weather, and simulating that a bunch of wild dogs were barking at Sweeney&#8217;s Margret while she\u2019s having contractions without anyone by her side.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The scene is nightmarish to watch, but apparently, Sydney Sweeney was \u201ctough as nails\u201d on the set of the project while getting the scene shot. He also said this:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s a scene that audiences really remember. And none of us who worked on it will ever forget. Those are really nice dogs, by the way. They&#8217;re perfectly fine dogs. I think if you&#8217;re friendly with the trainer, they&#8217;re really nice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While <em>Eden<\/em> has <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/critics-mixed-opinions-eden-agree-203622854.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:earned mixed reviews overall from critics;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><u>earned mixed reviews overall from critics<\/u><\/a>, our <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/eden-review-jude-law-ana-000000302.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Eden review;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\"><u><em>Eden<\/em><\/u><u> review<\/u><\/a> has more praise to offer than criticisms.
