The Maloofs have decided to sign on and become partners for Feast which means they will now get the additional funding to be able to pull off the full spectrum of the film. "Thank goodness for the Maloofs, we think we have a fighting chance to make this film," Mike says. "We got an extra week for the show," Joel says. "Starting Monday we're a real movie."
They take a trip to the actual set, where it's being built, and three weeks prior to filming. "I walked in, and I got goosebumps," John says. "It was pretty bitching." Mike discusses how amazing it was to watch John on his first real set. "First time I've been on my set, ever," John smiles as he walks around and talks with the workers to evaluate their work. Wes Craven joins them and talks about the script. Craven invites him over to his set to watch him work on a scene for his upcoming film. "I just don't be able to take the time and care that they're taking on Wes' set," he says about his own film.
Next, they take a trip to see the monsters and how they've progressed. "This is kind of a case to get the producers and directors to go with what I want," Gary says. Now, they see this "monster genitalia," as Mike calls it, about the monster sex scene that occurs in the film. They are all silent, and to be honest, it's not impressive. Then, they all burst out laughing. "It's just a giant monster package," John laughs, showing you have big it is with his hands. "You're always worried about the rating of your film," Mike says, "I don't think that [genitalia] is going to end up in our movie."
With two weeks to go, Dimension gave the thumbs up for the cast. Michelle admits she's taken more liberty than she normally would on a film. "For me, it's good news," Michelle smiles about Navi being approved. "I had no idea she [Navi] was still on the list," Mike admitted. Mike is definitely not happy. "We didn't even know Michelle had submitted it to Dimension," Joel says. "We felt like we were casting a movie that didn't please the producers or the director," Mike sighs. "I felt Michelle was gaming the system a bit, I think she might have gone through some back channels to get that done," Joel explains. They go to watch her second audition tape, and they're still unimpressed. "If she ramped it up 20 percent," Joel sighs. "She's gets there with a good director," Michelle tells her. Now, they head off to tell John.
Chris comes in to visit in the middle of the casting debacle. Michelle explains the history and casting to Chris when he has questions about Krista Allen. "I was pretty shocked," John can't believe. "I'm a little perturbed," Mike says, "I feel like I've lost. Even though I don't want Navi in the movie, the studio's behind her, so, she's going to be in the movie."
