The Reports Of Casey's Death Are Greatly Exaggerated...

Just spoke with Ben - Casey's on set in NYC doing '200 Cigarettes'. Since he's shooting this evening, it's a safe assumption that he's not shuffled loose the mortal coil.

Folks, you might want to verify shit like that before you throw it into cyberspace. It just about gave Affleck cardiac arrest. Please - a little more responsibility in the future.

Short of that, there's nothing much new to report. Same old, same old - shot some great stuff, captured some amazing performances, watched some great dailies.

Like anything else in life, it all becomes somewhat commonplace after the first few weeks. Unlike much else in life, the moment we start shooting a new scene, it'll all take on that spring feeling of crisp, fresh renewal.

Good God - I'm starting to sound like smalls.

Anyhoo, I saw some pix of our 'God' in her costume. Quite nice. Abigail (the costume designer) has outdone herself yet again - no easy feat, that, as all the wardrobe in the flick's been quite keen thus far.

Today, the Miramax folks held a photo session for the poster shoot. One by one, they're snapping portraits of the cast, for what we're all sure is going to be another exemplary Miramax campaign on this flick when it nears release. Jay and I won't be shooting ours until after we wrap Pittsburgh, but mostly everyone else will be done by then.

Tomorrow, we finish what we affectionately refer to as 'the train sequence'. After that, it's a day down on the Lord's day (only fitting on this picture), and back at it Monday morn.

We're almost at the halfway mark for the shoot, folks. And while the end's not in sight just yet, I can see a time when I'll be able to kick back at the Stash and not worry about a 7:00am call time...

Which is what I'm doing now. G'night.
