Chef Shredder

Here's the latest: I spoke to the director of HP2 and he told me that they have two people in mind for the role of the "Chef Shredder"- and that these two are very interested in playing the role. The two people are Jaime Kennedy and Michael McDonald. Not the sissy-voiced, Colonel Sanders from the Doobie Brothers, but the guy who played Stuart on Mad TV! Is that boss or is that boss? I'm completely stoked about it, so I had to share. Shooting may or may not take place during the second weekend in March, but whenever it does, you'd better believe that the chocolate diva will be there!

Yesterday morning, I got an email from the manager who I met with in December. Seems that he's still keen on seeing the "Mixtape" rewrites. I wrote him back, telling him that I'm just about done with my read-through and that I'll send it on. Ya'll, I'm gonna send it on like I promised, but it's really hard to get behind this. I mean, either offer me a contract or not. I just don't think I can chop on this script one more time.

Speaking of chopping on perfection (*wink*), I read an article in a screenwriting mag talking about what was wrong with the script for the Dark Knight. Um, exuese me? That movie was up for Oscars in just about every category except screenwriting, so what's their beef? Wanna talk about scripts with problems? Let's talk "Juno"? Let's talk about how there are about fifteen scenes that do absolutely nothing to advance the story and about how every character- regardless of age- talks exactly the same. The only reason Jennifer Garner stood out was because she was the only one not speaking like a fourteen year old gamer. But whatever. Everyone's entitled to their opinions. Well, everyone except douchbags.


Anyway, I have to get back to my revisions, but I'll catch up after I hear more casting news or I talk to Stan Rogaine. Whichever comes first.
