Hey Shorty... It's your birthday...

We gonna party like its your birthday...

Still in China. Still cutting the same three shows. Still making God Knows how many more changes to the same three shows...

But there is a little bit of action brewing back home.

My old film.

The one that I wrote to direct - moved my entire family halfway across the United States for - raised half the budget for - Got picked up by a mini-major and signed two big stars for - waited for said stars for almost TWO YEARS only to have one of them drop out at the last second and the whole thing crumble to dust around me - leaving me both morally and financially bankrupt....

You know. That one...

In the time since we were trying to get that film up and running - my producing partner has been busy doing real films. Big films. With big stars. And for some reason - he's hot on sending the script out again.

And we're getting reads.

We're not going to the A list guys. But still going to guys who are pretty high up there. Both of the most recent boys have been second leads in two of the big giant franchise films this summer. And they both are good actors.

To the point that we are actually making a money offer to one of them later today.

How ridiculous is that?

Of course - the manager's suggested quote was pretty silly - and we are going lower than that... but my partner was like - here's what we'll offer. I'll make some calls this afternoon and get the money and then make the offer tonight.

And the money is no child's play.

Things have changed.

While the biggest lesson I've learned is to never ever for any reason think a movie is going - even when you're green lit - even when you're sitting and making nice with big actors - even when you're on set - ready to shoot - never for one second think that the movie is going until you wrap shooting. Then you know...

So I know nothing.

But we are back out there. We are getting great response again from that old script. And money is about to be put against it again.

Go freaking figure.

Does make the sun shine today a little bit brighter... :)
