Is the fighter out for the count?

"The fighter" Starring Marky Mark and a rumored Brad Pitt slated to film in Lowell this september is very quiet...very quiet. My sources say that it is pushed back, it's not happening, victim of a non strike??? What ever the case is the listing for the fighter on IMDB is gone also, so who knows what we should all believe. It would be really nice to see this fim made about one of the best boxers to come out of MA. Mickey Ward which if you knew or not you might have already met him on several movie sets already this past year. Let's hope this movie comes to us soon because this project seems to have promise.

What are you talking about? I just looked at the listing on IMDB for THE FIGHTER, it's still up. The movie isn't suppose to start until October.

The Fighter is still on imdb.com. There are some problems with the page though. Hopefully they will get startes by the end the year, the script is great.

People agreeing to work and not showing up.

I was on a project yesterday (Mall Cop) which was a nice experience and worked with nice people. What amazed some people is that there were a few no-shows, what I had said to them is don't be too surprised because this happens more than you think. When that happens that screws a lot of people up first the production because they are expecting their numbers for that day, and people that actually wanted to work that day. So if you can't make it on that project for any reason please call the casting director the day prior so they can fill in your spot. It's the best thing you can do in that situation to still be good with the casting directors and the production.

Keep your political views home..

I was working on E.O.D just recently and here we are in holding for a few hours as usual and here we have someone preaching about which canadate we should choose. Now we all know which one we want to choose and that is our personal opinion, but do not tell us who to vote for. At one point one person yelled from across the room and told this guy to "end it" because this is "not the place for that", I totally agree. Keep that outside, we are here to work and have fun and no one needs that.

SAG Strike close to NOT happening :)

I am hearing this morning that since AFTRA is getting things done with Hollywood, it looks as if SAG might follow suit and prevent a strike. If this happens all systems go for the roll of films to continue in MASS on schedule.
