Project Greenlight: Tipsy Lead Actress
Sunday, July 31, 2005

"Probably my biggest concern overall with the movie right now is Balthazar's performance. Not that it's bad, just very, very different from the original conception. I'm going to bring back in some of the humor I thought we lost," Joel explains. "I felt there was a big danger that we would get half of the character we wanted in the movie." They now set up a monitor between the two sets so he can see where they're standing in order to give input when needed. "They wanted the bozo character to be this super far out whacky guy, and I never wanted it to be that far out," John says.

"John did an excellent job directing both units. He really pulled through with us," Joel says. During lunch that day, Chris comes to explain that Dimension and Miramax is breaking up. He discusses that they may not release Feast because of the divorce between Bill and Harvey Weinstein. He's afraid the movie might just sit on a shelf and never get put on the big screen.

They do a production wrap for Clu. "I'm not involved in acting anymore, this is a nostalgic move for John," Clu says. Clu was choked up as the cast and crew applauded him and gave him due credit for his hard work on the film. Clu is at the end of his career. One of the many reasons Joh wanted to cast him in his first feature film was to not only honor his father but also to give him the chance to be in his first real film that would be shown throughout the world (hopefully). It was a fitting tribute to a man who had spent his whole life giving his son the world.

They're now in Lancaster, California to shoot all the outside shots of the bar for the setting and location for the entire film. "All our shots are night shots," Joel says. "I don't know what's here or what's not here," Ben says. They didn't bring the whole set, because of the budget, and it's almost four in the morning with nothing to shoot. The day crew that was used to shoot the set didn't bring the right part, because they hadn't been onset for the last five weeks. They only have time for one shot, and they take it, because once the sun comes up it's too late.

Davis notes that Krista comes to set tired and a bit tipsy because of her early call time. "I can't even speak right now," she says. "Hopefully, she'll be walking straight in no time," Davis says. They're moving through their schedule quickly, but they're worried about the end of the day crunch. With 40 minutes late, they call a production wrap on the film.

They give John his chair back to keep and say goodbyes. "Apparently, I just finished my first film," John smiles, speechless. Stephen is happy that everyone pulled through and everything is finished as a team as opposed to the in-fighting that happened throughout the process. "We've got a pretty good movie out of it."
