More PoA pics

[Scully931]

Yes, I seriously doubt these are rehearsal photos. Any camera or 
lighting set up that needs to be done is generally done with stand 
ins. By the time the cast gets there, they're about ready to shoot. 
Just a couple walk throughs and they go. I'm trying to wait to judge 
the costumes. However, a lot of the uniqueness of the film , for me 
at least, are the robes. :-( Hope we still see a lot of them.
