Production Report: Day 7
We are now deep into week 2 of production, and things are in full gear. Since I will be blogging to all of you, I figure it’s time I introduce myself – my name is Leor Ram, and I’m an Executive Producer for the movie. We’ve accomplished a lot of what Robert lovingly refers to as his “horror show” scenes, and we’re moving on to some more of the comedy. Bobby C. King, our incredibly talented stunt coordinator, has put together some really fun jumps, leaps, and slides for our characters as they delve deeper and deeper into the house’s dark past, and Hector Jimenez (who can be seen in upcoming comedy Nacho Libre as Jack Black’s sidekick) has been spinning around a green screen all day. While Daniel has destroyed over 500 dinosaurs (it’s a pretty fair estimate) in his King Kong XBOX game, he spends the rest of his time with Shane and Eric choreographing their hilarious scenes with Robert. But it was our three leading ladies – Emily, Noureen and Corri – that really turned heads this week with their devilishly entertaining dance numbers… but that’s all I’m at liberty to say about that, well, except that Andy Milonakis definitely enjoyed himself. Sam McMurray cracked everyone up on the set with his improvised banter and Jon Lovitz even came by to chat with the cast and crew. That’s all for now – it’s almost time for lunch… I think we’re having gelatin hearts.
Oh, and before I go, I thought I’d end each entry with some little known facts, because… well, everyone loves little known facts:
1. There are over 1,000 chemicals in a cup of coffee. Of these, only 26 have been tested, and half caused cancer in rats.
2. The glue on Israeli postage stamps is certified kosher.
3. Scientists have identified only 4,000 different viruses, a fraction of the estimated 400,000 believed to exist on Earth.
4. Lacking a collarbone, the deer mouse can flatten its body so much it can squeeze into an opening one quarter of an inch high.
