Project Greenlight: It Doesn't Matter What I Think
Sunday, July 31, 2005

Mike calls Andrew and finds out that Bob wants to see the movie as soon as possible. "Bob has heard through the grapevine that we've started screenings and he wants to see the movie immediately," Mike explains. "So, can we show him the movie now?" Andrew inquires. "We were really hoping to set it up Monday," he replies, trying to delay the inevitable. Andrew offers to try and delay it as long as possible until he can no longer do it. "I've realized something in light of this particular project, if you want to watch something or screen something, everyone wants to see it. People are rapid to see this movie," Mike tells Joel. "This film is on his radar now. The urgency has wracked up tenfold," Joel says.

Joel tells everyone that Bob wants the film now. They have a seven o'clock deadline with the courier, so they begin working all day up until then to do what they can to edit it. Aaron reminds them that they need to get the courier, but then he goes and calls the courier to push it back a half an hour. Joel asks if they are outputting, but they aren't, and they begin to set it up so that they can tape it over to VHS to send to Bob Weinstein. Now, the machine isn't working properly, and they can't get any audio to record. Aaron tries to fix it, but he doesn't know what is wrong, and he can't figure it out. Eventually, they get the entire thing outputted and given to the courier to take to New York. "If he doesn't like it, I don't even want to think about that," John says.

Andrew discusses how important it is for this screening of the film in a mini-theater. "There reaction is going to tell us what we're going to do with the film," he says. "A lot of films have lived and died based on screenings like that. It's really the first time people get the chance to see it." He talks to many of them and gets their input on what they saw; it's very tense, "Today unfortunately Bob couldn't be there." Mike, with distribution from Dimension, said he liked it and that was good.

Joel and Mike take Andrew's call. He says that John needs to call him. "Congratulations, job well done," he says. "You'll earn your bonuses," he jokes. "Based on the screening we had in New York, he pulled it out." Bob and Harvey are going to watch it tomorrow. John and Kirk head down and they hear the news themselves. John's beaming, relieved now that he did a great job. "I think there's some pacing issues," he tells them, but he's optimistic that they can cut it down as it's too long. "I just looked at John, I know what he's feeling, you don't put 46 years of your life into something and feel nothing when it's validated," Joel beams, too, for John's good fortune. "You try to do your best and hope somebody responds," John explains.

"It doesn't matter what I think," Andrew says knowing the Weinsteins are watching it as they speak. "The future of Feast is coming out of that screening," Mike explains. Nick wants to set up a call for them to take one from Bob about what he thought of the screening. "We're going to give Bob a call," Joel says. John calls him, he gets put on hold, and then he's told the call will be returned. "One thing that's true is that you they don't find John, John finds you," Joel jokes. Chris calls to ask if they've heard anything. They keep trying to get a hold of Bob, but it's to no avail so far, and they try to set up a schedule.
