A sort of Homecoming

It’s 1:15 in the morning. The crew is tired. I am tired. Most of the cast has been released, and it’s only me, Patrick, and Gates left, along with about 30 background actors. It’s the last shot of the night, and we’re finally doing my scene.
We block it, rehearse it once, and then we shoot it. It’s a pretty complicated shot, camera-wise, and I can tell that the director is getting frustrated with the constant re-takes, and we all know that the studio will not let us go past 1:30., so there’s a touch of urgency in the air.
Late on a Wednesday night. Long hours. Most of the cast has been released, because they’ve got a long doy tomorrow.
It’s like I never left, and I love it.
There’s much, much more, but I have to go back to the studio in a couple hours, and I’ve got other work to do, so I’ll write more tomorrow. Don’t worry, I’ve made notes, so I won’t forget.
A few highlights of the day:
*Hanging out with John Logan, who is as excited to me me as I am to meet him.
*Talking with Rick Berman, realizing that we are “cool” with each other.
*Having dinner with Brent.
*Racing about the lot with Jonathan in his golf cart.
There is so very, very much more. Check in tomorrow.
I hope everyone is having an awesome day.
