big doings at Reminder Publications

How's this for cool: they're going to be filming a movie here today! Our editor, Mike, got a call from someone who was looking for a newsroom in which to film, and he came first thing this morning to take a look. Since they're desperate (having had at least two other locations fall through), they took it because they only have their actor for three days. Oh, and the actor is Corbin Bernsen! Yeah, the dude from L.A. Law! I'll try to get pictures!

First report

Corbin Bernsen, reading Prime

OK kids, the movie crew is here! We met Corbin Bernsen, who is very personable. He was reading our monthly, Prime, and asking questions about it. He's pretty laid back, and I'm sure he's used to people being star-struck (like some of our sales staff, who keep finding things to do here in the front office).

The info on the movie is here on IMDb. It's called Angel's Blade 2: The Ascension. Yeah, it's a horror flick. *g*

back to normal

After the initial flurry of excitement, we got used to having a film crew in our office and went on with our day. They were back in the art/news room, so I didn't get to see a lot of what they were doing, but it was interesting. They had the actresses out here in the front office, picking their wardrobe. Yeah, it's a low-budget flick. I'd never heard of any of the other actors in the movie. One was quite elderly, and had to be driven up here from NYC (about a 3 hour drive). I wonder what role she plays?

The trailer was a rented RV that they parked out back. They ordered lunch from Romito's down the street (the makeup artist ordered, and told them on the phone, "I'm on a film set, I don't have a lot of time.") and ate it out back, just like we do when we get lunch. Mr. Bernsen seems to be a regular guy, just doing his job. They all do, pretty much. It was interesting to see the process, what little I got to see. It seems to involve a lot of waiting around.

They filmed in Chris' (co-publisher) office, and in the cubicles. They hung out in front of the kitchen for much of the day, so it was impossible to get water or use the microwave until late in the afternoon. They left about a half-hour ago. It was exciting to be part of the film industry for a few hours! A couple of folks in the back got to be extras in the background, and someone printed out photos and had Mr. Bernsen sign them, which he did with a smile. Nice guy. :)

It's probably the most exciting thing that's happened here in years. *g*
