The Motel, written and directed by Michael Kang, produced by Miguel Arteta, Matthew Greenfield and Gina Kwon, is going to be shot here in Po-town this August.
They're apparently looking for both cast and crew and interns (that'd be how I found out about it.)
There are occasionally interesting things about my job. Of course, I say this just before I go off to stuff another hundred or so pieces of paper into envelopes. *sigh*

Friday Five, gacked, as always, from Del
Jul. 25th, 2003 11:34 amFriday Five: Movie of Your Life
1. If your life were a movie, what would the title be?
Retrospective
2. What songs would be on the soundtrack?
Opens with: Monkeys - Plesant Valley Sunday. Also has: Everclear - Wonderful, Roger Miller - Old Toy Trains, Matchbox20 - Back to Good, Matchbox20 - Bent, Matchbox20 - Unwell, Tom Waits - Waltzing Matilda, Barenaked Ladies - Am I the Only One, Bryan Adams - Summer of '69. Closing Credits: Barenaked Ladies with Tom Jones - Little Green Bag followed by Nancy Sinatra - These Boots
3. Would it be a live-action film or animated? Why?
Live action. It would be half set in the past (think teenybopper Highschool movies) and half in the present, ala The Joy Luck Club.
4. Casting: who would play you, members of your family, friends, etc?
For me, I think Christina Ricci would be great (although not so much with the looking like me...). Chachi would be Wes Bently (American Beuty), and I think Bill Pullman would do well as dad. Ex-boy would be Rory Cochrane (Empire Records) , and I rather think Verne would be Rene Zellweger.
In the modern section![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aiglet would be played by Sarah Michelle Geller, electrolite37 would be Shirley Henderson (in a blonde wig...), and the fantastic D.E. of the Astro department would have to be Zoë Wanamaker because she's just that cool.
The entirely fictious love interest would be played by Colin Farrell, because I said so...
5. Describe the movie preview/trailer.
Opens to an open word document on the Laptop of Doom. The document is blank. Pan out to show desk covered with textbooks and notes and empty chair. Pan farther, see AMY curled up on the bed, glaring at the desk. She mutters "Damnit."
Cut to lunch time on landing above stairs. Five highschoolers are sitting around chatting. TONY is using AMY as a pillow.
AMY V.O.: That was the day I figured out Verne hated me.
Cut to AMY, AIGLET, MAGGIE, BECCA, and LISSE sitting around a table in the diner. Lots of laughter, but AMY seems relativly low key.
AMY V.O.: It really changes your world view, you know... knowing that someone considers you the worst person in the world.
Cut to AMY lying on her bed, talking on the phone with TONY.
"What do you mean she blamed us?"
Cut to AMY sitting outside at the observatory, looking off into space.
AMY V.O.: I ddn't really understand how anyone could spend that much energy on me.
Cut to VERNE yelling at AMY in the hallway. AMY turns and walks away while VERNE keeps yelling.
Cut back to dorm room, AMY is now sitting at the desk, typing. All of the Voice overs are now in the word document.
AMY V.O. (while apearing on the screen): But then, I never really did understand much about that time in my life.
Pan away from AMY at desk and fade to black.
Different person, V.O.: Life doesn't make a lot of sense, but that never stops you from looking back and trying to understand.

(And in other news, Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day is in Post Production. *shrug*)

Jul. 25th, 2003 03:44 pmOk, so I didn't feel like updating Office Monkey's adventures today. Instead I've been entertaining myself with online flamewars and ( Del's latest quiz )
