Diary -
Content arrives on the already-bustling set at 7:30am;
the crew has been busy for an hour. We seek out Dan Rosen
and Robbie Chafitz; they make sure we are introduced to
Second AD Ray Nedzel and Director's Assistant Eileen
Walls. Our first Artiste Sighting: Matthew Lillard, dressed in a white tank undershirt and pajama bottoms, barefoot in the grass, stalking around in circles talking to himself. Rehearsing, we gather. Second Artiste Sighting: Kerri Russell arrives on the set, smiling at everyone. A very sweet kid, and unbelievably petite. Challenges to the day's filming included a stifling, humid 90-degree temperature; a somewhat hostile trio with a cement mixer; and the choice to film inside a genuine dorm room, which is realistic but tiny. So tiny that Dan had to find some rather unique places to wedge himself in. During this particular scene, he watched from a bathroom stall. But, that's show biz. One expects, and in fact relishes, such hurdles; they're the stuff legend is made of. This particular legend started as a low rumble that suddenly became a roar. The concrete workers, tired of waiting, started their cement mixer and poured a new batch of sidewalk during a flawless take. Much real and imagined cursing took place; Dan brought his cast and crew back around with his sense of humor. |
