You can always click the link on the right hand side bar that says PHOTOS and go to the page anytime.

Enjoy!

Well I’m pretty beat.  First day of filming and on a technical side, not too many things went wrong.  The DAT had a strange malfunction but it end up working, and we had a spare.  It was a long day of shooting and only one scene got done really.  I’m sure Vaughn hates the hell out of the speech that he had to give.

On a just shooting side there was a lot learned.  But we knew it was going to be a chaotic scene anyways because we wouldn’t have a lot of time to set up first.  So I think over all it all went well.  And so far no one has quit.  Or at least they haven’t told me yet.

It was very hot inside the buildng.  I think I alone lost about 10 pounds in water weight.  Aaron looked like he lost a few as well.  Lots of photos will one day be posted, soon, and some behind the scenes video will also be posted soon.  That is all for now.  I need to watch someone elses movie for a while.

Filming is scheduled to begin on Saturday.  There are a few small things that need to be tied up by then, but I think everything will be fine.  There is a narrative at the begining of the film which is currently being recorded.  With that done, I would expect the first trailer to be released by the begining of August, if not sooner.   Well I said it, so I hope we can pull that off.  Cast/Character page is in the works as well.  I’ll do my best to post that in a short time.

Stickers are now available throughout the New Orleans area.  You’ll just have to be out and about and find one.  Free if you see them.

There seems to be a lot of interest in being in this film, and that is great.  Just starting to wear me out.  Honestly it makes me a bit sad having to choose one person over an other.   We have around 25 speaking roles in this film.  After it’s all said and done there will be around 50 actors in this thing, maybe more.  There will be another call for extras at some point, but for now I’m just focusing on the people we have and I’ll see how much we can make work from that pool.  If I haven’t contacted you yet that doesn’t mean you’re out of the running, not trying to give anyone false hope but it’s true.

Filming is planned to start on the 28th of this month.  So if I already contacted you about the movie you’ll know if you’re in it for those scenes.
