Interesting sidenote: it also stated that they are also starting to accept extra info for Superman, which is slated to begin shooting in the ‘Burgh in July.

There ya have it, folks…Shooting starts MARCH 27th!!! The original plan was for about 6 weeks of it, so we’ll see how close it comes to that. We hope to have fairly regular updates on RC once shooting starts, if we can get a good pipeline going. Stay tuned.

I’m glad folks enjoyed the Affleck/Damon session last night. They had a really good time doing it. I’m sure one or both of them will be back in the near future (please don’t ask me for dates here, folks – it’s a catch-as-catch-can affair around these parts.

We had a full cast rehearsal tonight (well, almost full – Carlin’s not here yet). It was mind-bendingly good all around, with particular props going to Alan ‘the Ricker’ Rickman, who really knows how to intone “…wrath of God.”

I’ve noticed two schools of performances going on – the vets, and the newbies. Lee, Ben, Mewes rep the former, all else rep the latter. And neither is better than the other – it’s just different.

Linda has been doing powerful things with a relatively thankless and un-showy role. The third smartest move I’ve ever made was casting her.

Lee is going to delight and surprise the fans, with what is perhaps his finest hour to date.

Affleck’s in his zone now, with a 98% fleshed out Bartleby.Along with Lee (and of course, Mewes) he remains the actor I’d work with in every film if I could.

Matty’s bringing subtle touches to a role that has never allowed for many on the page. He’s NOT doing the obvious, which is admirable. And with his career leaning toward serious, dramatic turns in weighty pictures, his Loki is going to represent a welcome comedic perf in what’s sure to become a lengthy run.

Alan is schooling bitches in flat-out performance clinics. It’s an old story, but the man could read the phonebook aloud and you’d be riveted.

Rock’s braving a terrain in which he’s not allowed to be funny all the time, marking this as not just another former ‘SNL’-er performance. He’s actually acting. People are going to be surprised.

Salma is just about the most adorable breathing thing on the planet, whose Serendipity is more tom-boyish than sexy. And she’s playful as hell with her delivery, which adds a nice counterbalance to Linda’s rock-steady role.

But the movie belongs to Mewes, folks. I’m gonna say it right here – this flick will breed work for him in its wake. He’s doing me not only proud, but also making my jaw-drop, he’s so good.

And that’s about that. We’re running it again tomorrow, from nine in the a.m. to six at night. If I could, I’d shoot this thing tonight, they’re so ready.

I think we may have a killer flick on our hands, come the fall.

Hopefully, I’ll be bringing a friend along on the morrow, so tune in.

Also – I think that USA Today article runs tomorrow. If you’ve got some pocket change, pick it up.

We’ll have that USA Today article for you ASAP (as soon as we find it or someone transcribes it).As for the cast, sounds like the makings of a great flick…We can’t wait to hear more.
