Hey all --
I'm on a quick break and headed into a local internet cafe to send off a word about filming the first shot of the movie. Woo HOO. Man, is it cold out. And it was even colder when we started, at around 7:45 this morning. But needless to say it has been joyful to walk onto a New York City street in my old neighborhood and see all the trailers and equipment and crew members and realize that it's all *really happening.* But I'm not kidding about the cold, and it's very reminiscent of the last time I filmed something with Chris Columbus -- we were in Toronto and Chicago in the dead of winter, from January till March, filming mostly at night.
But it's worth it to shiver a little bit, believe me.
The shot was of me riding my bike down the street, during a couple of lines of What You Own... Sporting the striped scarf, of course. (Had I mentioned that was in the movie?) And wearing my Mark glasses and with the haircut and everything. No plaid coat, though, since the pattern would be too intense and busy for the camera.
Anyway, more when I get a chance. We're off and running, making great time, and having a blast.
Take care --
Anthony
