Matt, Chris and Wes Craven are coming in over the weekend to see what they have done so far. They reflect back that Matt Damon was the one who really jumped for him to be the director. "I never would've known from the interview," John says. "It's a little nerve-wracking, because you never want to let anyone down. I guess we're just going to do whatever we can in the next couple of days."
On the day Matt comes on set, they all get together to shoot promos for Project Greenlight. We're shown some of Matt's commercials and cut-aways for the promotions for Bravo. During the break, he came over to the editing trailer to see some of Feast. "You always have trepidation for screening scenes that aren't ready," John says. Matt's laughing at the footage. "I'm extremely excited with the footage, he's clearly the right man for the job," Matt praises. "He really had a great understanding of how to make that movie work." He jokes it might not be glory enough, and they all laugh at it. "Great, great job!" he tells John. "I'm so proud John Gulager did a great job. I really put my ass out there for him, and I'm glad he did a good job."
John and his family spend some time together. "I guess there's only a few more months of employment here," he tells his family. They discuss bringing down a lot of his family and friends to the premiere. Diane is worried about the money running out, because they're spending everything he's making while working for Feast already. "I think that would help," she says if he gets more work. Clu offers to buy his son an Armani suit for the premiere and he tells his dad not to do it. Diane is worried he's not fielding calls from agents and doing what he needs to do to continue directing others fields not that he's been given this chance, but he's not doing it, and that worries her immensely. John reflects on his mother having passed away last year, too, and how much he loves her for what he's doing.
"We thought it would be a good idea to give some feedback from him on what he had," Mike says about showing Wes the footage. "The film was great, it was exciting, interest shots. I was very, very impressed by it," he praises, too. "I think it's all a matter of early screenings, if Bob just looks at it, he'll know. He'll get a sense." Wes says that he's made films this long gives him the stamina to work on projects well until they're finished.
Joel and Mike head down to see some of the footage. Ben Affleck wants to come and watch a "first" screening of Feast that week, and they tell him to come down and see it. "We felt our hands were tired and arranged for him to see it," Mike explains. They felt bad Chris might be left out of it, but that was the hand they were dealt. They aren't really ready for a first screening, and it's a rough cut as John says. "Houston, we have a problem," he jokes.
Joel comes in and asks who invited Ben to the screening. He's angry. Joel wants to know who told LivePlanet about the screening, and Aaron is the one who told them. "Chris might be a little bent," Joel says and Mike laughs. "We have to invite Chris," Joel says without a doubt. "It's still in a rough state," Kirk is dismayed at what is cut now. On the next day, Joel wants to get Nick in to see the first screening, because he was leaving town, too, so that he could tell Bob Weinstein the film is okay. "I'm not really sure what the right politic approach is on this," Joel tells Kirk. "Andrew is hammering Nick to see the movie," Joel explains, "I'm planning on trying to keep them at bay."
