alfvaenI can see that some of you were taken a bit by surprise by my last post. Especially the bit about the movie and Wil Wheaton. So let me fill in a few of the details for those who may have been out of the curl on this one.
Ever since Running On Instinct shot to the top of the New Amsterdam Times Bestseller List, the clickie studios have been trying to get the rights to it. This led to an armed conflict with a body count that made the publishing bidding war look like a leaf-eating contest in comparison. Eventually, Paranoid Pictures emerged triumphant, and we began working with them.
Now, most of you remember Wil Wheaton as the star of that James Cameron movie "Titan", which was certainly when he shot to national prominence, but my wives and I first saw him on a short-lived TV show called "Star Trek" about 200 months ago. He immediately captured our attention as the neurotic, alienated teenager Wesley Crusher who cut a swath through the women in the show--both onscreen and off. (That's where he met his first wife, Ashley Judd, by the way.)
So we're quite happy to have him on the project. Oh, sure, he's got that volatile temper(which is why we didn't try to interrupt his gaming in the hotel room), but he's a professional all the way. And it's absolutely sheer coincidence that both of his wives are in the clickie too. Well, maybe not sheer coincidence, but they will both do justice to their parts. Wil is of course playing Matt, and Jennifer will be playing Genevieve; Ashley will be playing Penny. We're not at liberty to disclose the rest of the cast yet, but there will be more big names, as well as some promising newcomers.
Nicole will be of course supervising the production closely, and Cameron is falling all over himself to accommodate her every whim. The motographing will be on location, mostly in Strathcona and Brisbois and in the maze of country roads in between.
This means, of course, that we have to stop putting off fixing up the house in Brisbois. We bought it twelve months after we bought our current house in Strathcona, when we got tired of constantly staying in hotels when we went to visit down there. To date we've never stayed in it longer than three weeks, but I think the motographing will change that. At least we don't have to buy a house in Sacramento to be close to the actual studio.
