I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell - June 24, 2008

A lot of people have been asking me about what kind of music we are going to use in the movie. That is more of a question for Nils, as he is the music guy, or better yet, for Chris Mollere, who is the music supervisor on the movie. They will post about that later, because if it were left up to me, the music in the movie would all be southern rap, with a little Em, Erick Sermon, Biggie and Wu thrown in for good measure.

On that note, I am driving to Houston as we speak to go work on a song for the movie with Paul Wall. I would have flown, but direct flights from Shreveport to Houston are $1000. I can fly to LA from Shreveport for $700. If you can figure that out (without using the words "economies of scale"), you're smarter than me.

Paul is probably going to do two (or maybe three) songs for the movie, and this one we're doing today is different from the rest in that Nils and I actually co-wrote it with Paul. I would tell you about it, but again, I want to save everything possible for the theater. Nils and I have never written or recorded a song before, so we had planned an overnight trip, had reams of lyrics and were ready to spend as much time in Houston as needed. Little did we know Paul Wall works on a different schedule:

"But this seriously shouldn't take more then 20 mins. I record songs allllll day everyday and a few verses like this is soooo easy."

I guess that solves that.

The good news is that I have my assistant with me and the DV cam, so we will get footage of all of this and post it soon.

I probably won't post again today for obvious reasons or tomorrow because we have a full day scouting, but I'll tell you what's coming soon: We have cast announcement coming as soon as McKittrick can get his PR firm to write a press release. If they worked the way Paul Wall did, it would have been done two weeks ago, but whatever. Welcome to Hollywood.

And we have two more announcements coming probably this week or early next week that should be awesome; one is about how people can be extras on the movie (I'll give you full instructions), and the other is about a contest between Nils and I we are going to run during production that is going to absolutely blow people's minds. You'll see.
