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.

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.

Are future films in jeporady because of looming strike?

Portions of the SAG strike my be resolved sooner than later.

What I have heard as of late is that the upcoming strike might not be as long as some people are projecting. Certain aspects have already been cleared. So, with that being said it might no be as long as a process as the previuos writers strike. I think that strike did so much damage that SAG probably does not want to go down that road but we will see.
