More boiling on Wicker Man today. My brain and skin are cooked. The feel around set is that people know they're involved in something that might be pretty good. Nick cage is "on". Neat working on stuff you know a lot of folks will see.

Today we were in Langley and having quiet was a bit of a nightmare. We were situated between two airports, Langley and Abbottsford, and small planes were flying overhead constantly. When it was planes it was trains blowing their horns or the sewage truck draining the honeywagon firing up his engine in the middle of a shot. There was even a hot air balloon floating overhead near wrap firing his gas to stay in the air. Argh! But, we got everything we needed.

I'm off to Bordertown and Islandtown with "B camera" tomorrow for some exterior pick-ups. I'll bang off some shots of Bordertown with my Canon for a giggle while I'm there. Then I'm back in Langley to shoot until at least 1:00 am.

And for James asking about cast on the flick:
From IMDb Pro - Leelee Sobieski and Ellen Burstyn are joining Nicolas Cage in Neil LaBute's indie The Wicker Man, produced by Millenium Films, Equity Pictures and Emmett/Furla Films. A remake of a 1973 British horror film, Wicker Man centers on a police officer (Cage) who is investigating the disappearance of a girl in a small cultlike community. Sobieski plays a barmaid who is Cage's confidant. Burstyn plays the head of the cult. The film is shooting in Vancouver.

I'm not sure that's accurate. I have yet to see or hear any noise about Leelee Sobieski. She is here in town on Uwe Boll's Dungeon Seige, so who knows.
