I've been rehearsing with Jason Lee for the past two days.

As expected, he's tremendous. But more than that, he's doing stuff in this flick he's never done before. I think it's much more satisfying for him to be playing Azrael, as opposed to the Loki part he was originally slated to play.

Linda's here. We hung out tonight, jawed for awhile, grabbed some dinner, and jawed some more. She's confessed to being a board lurker here. I found that quite touching.

We start running lines on the morrow. I so look forward to it.

There've been some schedule hitches with some of the cast over the last two weeks. It looks like it's all panning out now, but for awhile there, it was hairy. This is what happens when you're working with a cast that actually has some prospects (in many cases, HUGE prospects) beyond your flick. It's all new to me.

That's all. Tomorrow night, I'm bringing Fiorentino on, so please behave like civil chaps.
