Special green-screen shoot in Louisville
April 22 & 23, 2010
 
  Spindletop Hall, Lexington
Fred Thompson (Law & Order ... "dun dun")
Diane Lane ("Under the Tuscan Sun," etc., etc.)
John Malcovich showed up on 10/2.  Didn't get to do a scene with him, but did get to see him enter the building.  :-) 
The extras arrive and sign in ....  Why, I believe that's Georgetown's Dr. Gus Bynum having a little fun on his day off.
Making the trek through the wet Spindletop grass to wardrobe.  It had been pouring ....
Ah, the wardrobe trucks
 
Hair and make-up trailer
Killing time after wardrobe.  Eventually, the pipe, hat, hair and goatee had to go.  LOL
We spent 12 hours hanging out, mostly, before shooting for two more hours, making for a 14-hour day
Hanging out in the Spindletop basement.  Met some incredible folks, as always!
OMG, Sonny and Russ on set AGAIN!  How many movies does this make for us now??  LOL
Ah, two fine Irish gentlemen, Shane Haffey and Robert Pettit
Teriyaki chicken on the grill!  The catering company is based in Boston. 
Lunch was superb!
Our wonderfully crazy Extras coordinator, Becka
Ah, moi sans goatee and much hair!
 
Final event on day two was to form a gauntlet.  Five were selected for "possible" inclusion in the final scene.  Didn't make that cut ... oh well.
  Slugger Field, and Convention Center, Louisville
Slugger Field.  Those of us chosen for the special green-screen shots were either in the stands or on the field with huge green screens placed behind us or in front of us.  Our scenes will be added to the movie digitally.
Distant shot of the camera on a crane
Lunchtime at Slugger Field.  The food was fantastic, as always!
SB in 1973 garb, including a transistor radio
Yeow!  The afternoon wardrobe change put me and actor-buddy Keith Nicholson in the same coat!  ... Car salesman jokes were flyin'!  Eventually, I ditched the coat and changed to a different hat.
... Relaxing in the dugout between takes
Next day.  Breakfast at the Marriott Blu at 5:15 a.m.
... Waiting for hair and make-up
My turn.  ... I think I heard my guy mumble "hopeless," or something like that.
It took three hours to get all 50 of us attired and through hair and make-up.  Looks like we lost one.  Well, with these 5:15 a.m. call times!  LOL
... Hangin' out, waiting to be digitally inserted into the movie, either individually, or as a group.
Hmm, I seem to be having an allergic reaction to the polyester coat.
