'Dog..' uh... 'Bearclaw'! Starring Brad and Chris

That's right - your fave NewsAskew-hounds did a little thesping today. Expect to read about their three-picture deal in the trades this week.

Also on tap today - Team Askew's own Brian Quinn, Bill Woods, and occassional-Askewer Nick Giovanetti.

Oh - and Ben and Matt.

We shot the airport out today, and considering we were dealing with almost two hundred extras and the constant thunder of the FAA-regulated p.a. system, it went pretty damn well. It's actually a very funny scene now, considering the amount of exposition it contains, and sports my two favorite lines of the week ("...that says, that says "I'll... I'll fucking spank you! " and "WHO CARES WHO SENT THE PAPER?!?!", both of which I'm not doing justice here), not to mention Affleck's funniest delivery of the moment ("A killing spree is not going to make things better for us!"). Following the shoot, Ben was whisked off to the NY 'Sliding Doors' premiere, and I caught some much-needed zzzz's, before heading out to catch Vincent's Q&A at CMU (a whole lotta abreviations in the above thought; we're a lazy people with a lazy language, aren't we?).

Tomorrow, we start a complicated two-day sequence with more set-ups planned than my tiny mind can possibly grasp (trying to expand my craft here, folks). If it goes as well as today did, I think we may just have a decent picture on our hands.
