We got three more crew interviews, edited and up:
Sorry about the lack of pics, but the last three days we've been shooting scenes that I can't really show without giving part of the plot away, so no dice on that. I have a huge "Hold" file with many pics that I'll post as soon as the movie is out, but until then, I am saving as much as I can.
And seriously, I know I talked about this already, but everyone on set is still buzzing about Matt Czuchry's performance on Friday. With a weekend to digest it, it's even more impressive.
For example, Suki told me, on Saturday "I have worked on many movies, and this Matt...he is going places. That performance was...it was very special. I don't know many actors, even very famous ones, who could have done what he did. Remarkable." That's high high praise coming from a Bosnian.
Even the extras are talking about it. Today, one of the middle-aged extras came up to me and said, "I have been a stand-in or extra on dozens of movies, and that was something else on Friday. You know what it reminded me of? I was in the jury on the Michael Douglas movie that just shot here, Beyond A Reasonable Doubt, and Matt's energy and skill was up there with Michael. It just felt like greatness." That energy really carried over to today, and we had another great day of hilarious takes.
In some ways this movie is exactly what I wanted, and in other ways it's very different. But the differences are almost all improvements. I am very happy with everything right now. Like I keep saying, this is my first movie, I don't have any basis of comparison or anything, but it feels right. Great cast, great crew, great material--it's all starting to come together, piece by piece, take by take, we are making a really good movie.
