Production Diary #2
No filming has happened since the last post, but there's been enough go on that I thought I should bring you up to speed.
Sadly, Jessica May Stevenson is no longer in the movie. It was a combination of many things, but mostly, I chalk it up to bad timing. Things are going very well for her and she's become considerably more busy than when she first signed on to do the movie. That, her needing more time to recover from being ill, plus other factors, have resulted in us having to part ways. I still adore her, though, and would work with her again in a heartbeat.
Stepping in to replace her is Kira McGregor. Kira was originally cast as Lily in the movie, but she's agreed to play Julia instead. Julia's a great role, and I feel very comfortable with it being in Kira's hands.
Of course, it does mean that I need to film a new Lily. Recasting that role will be much easier than finding a new Julia, since I have about three weeks before I have to shoot Lily's first scene. As soon as the role is filled, I'll let you all know.
So, that would be it.... At least you'd think so. But no, there's more. I get a call tonight from Tabitha Durham, who's playing Rosemarie. She's back East right now on vacation, but is scheduled to come back before her first shooting day (Feb. 16th). She tells me that she broke her leg while skiing! As I'm looking for a bus to step out in front of, she tells me that she's still coming back and, as long as I can shoot around her sitting most of the time, she's good to film. I told her we'd work it out.
That's been my week.
Filming commences this coming Tuesday (the 12th) with Rachel and Kira. Barring any more surprises, I'll let you all know how it went on Wednesday. It's sure to be an interesting post... Stay tuned!
