Nora's Response

Half way through my first cigar in years, Nora, the aforementioned, lovely actress whom I've professionally courted to join this crazy trip, struck up an electronic conversation via Skype. While inappropriate to divulge all, let's just say it's official.... she's not going to be in the film.  It was confirmed by, what I can only deduce as a self-portrait expressing her thoughts on my persistence.

That said, I think she's alluding to there still being a chance.  Being from Detroit, optimism is in my genes.

While her enthusiasm in saying nahhh is evident, what remains to be seen is whether she or her representatives will file a restraining order.

The Longest Days

I did get to go to the Mall today again which is great.  They know me there by name.  I bought cigars and am smoking one, which is really nice, as I trudge on with work.  Michael Simmonds our beloved DP arrives tomorrow, and I had a great two line email exchange with Ben Kramer in LA which was awesome, as always.  This is pre-pre in Colombia when I should be at a premiere for a film I can't understand.  Producing is all about the leisure and perks.
