The Word on the Wrap

Friday is going to be the final day of shooting. I believe the wrap party is going to happen this Friday as well. Details are in the air.

I hear one of our people has come down with Pneumonia. Our UPM was sicker than a dog at the beginning of the shoot (I teased the set caught the swine – but it was just a bad cold) and all the crew members got ferouciously ill. Since then, the health of the crew and cast has wavered. Everyone is pulling through great, but it really shows what uncontrolled  issues can do. I think we have had three hospital trips now. One -I think it was Ron Ridenour who tore his ACL on the first or second day of shooting. Two – Brittany Murphy was ill. Three – Joseph Mungra has Pneumonia. Well we hope you ALL are better in time for the wrap party.

Something Wicked; Day 27 of Production

Second to last Scheduled Day – Production Day 27! June 3rd, 2009

I think I am back on track now. Today’s crew call is at 1pm with the shoot beginning at 2:30pm. Location is still at Spring Blvd – AKA the Webb Residence for Something Wicked.

On set; Brittany Murphy, Shantel VanSanten, John Robinson, James Patrick Stuart, Julian Morris and Lance Rosen.

Scenes; [7 scheduled to shoot] Profile of Susan, Lights go out in house and scares Christine, mysterious message on windows, Christine screaming, strange conversations between James and Christine, Christine has her ring taken away and Bill finds Christine’s ring in the grass.

Props include; Bill’s gun, spaghetti sauce, strawberries, engagement ring, bread, helmets.

Photo Approvals…the waiting game

Photo approvals have come in for actor John Robinson!!! The bad news – most of the photos I have of him feature Shantel VanSanten (co-star) and I have not received photo approvals for her yet! None of Brittany Murphy’s photos have been approved, but honestly she was under the waether and I did not get quality images of her yet. I expect fantastic shots soon!Still waiting on the approvals for Shantel VanSanten, Julian Morris, and James Patrick Stuart.

NEWS RELEASE

Governor Kulongoski Urges Legislature to Support Oregon’s Growing Film Industry

June 2nd – Production Day 26

Day 26 of 28 (only two more days scheduled for shooting – however we may run over a bit.)

Just to let everyone know – I sent in my second round of talent photos for approvals and REALLY hope I can start posting the talent pics soon!

Wow, the shoot schedule for today looks intense. Crew call was at 9am, shoot began at 10am at Spring Blvd. The schedule shows 9 scenes to be shot. James Patrick Stuart, Brittany Murphy, John Robinson and I believe Shantel VanSanten (not on schedule but in one of the scenes) are all on set.

Shoots consist of many interactions between Bill and Susan regarding Christine’s behaviors and a few car scenes that must have been missed before.

Saturday – May 30th – production update

Over the weekend report – Sat – May 30th, crew call was at 10am and the shooting began at 11am. Brittany Murphy and Shantel VanSanten were at our Spring Blvd location and shot 5 scenes; including Christine dreaming, remembering her parents with Susan, Susan comforting Christine, iphone memories and Susan receiving a call from Bill – who is running late – again.

Props included a photo album, iphone, photos, framed photos, box for albums, photos from graduation, Dinner, pages on laptop and telephone. There is also a cedar chest with a lock (very rustic looking). I haven’t heard from anyone there this weekend and will report is I do.
