Me and Victor
The Stunt Man, Jared!
Well, it was my first day back on the set after being on a one-month hiatus from Nick Cage's upcoming 2012 suspense film, Medallion! We were filming @ an abandoned amusement park (JazzLand 'aka' Six Flags) and did it look like a complete disaster ghost town there! When I first arrived on the set today, I was so excited to see how they transformed an old/vacant place like this, as I stated just above into a set in the French Quarter to look like a Mardi Gras Festival! I also was excited to see my filming buddy, Victor, whom I have not seen since February when we filmed “Justice for Natalee” together. When we saw each other, we grabbed each other at the same time and hugged one another like we had not seen each other in ten years!
The facial expressions we had amazed even me. I have no idea why we were soooo happy to see one another again. It was really special to me to feel appreciated the way Victor treats me! The entire day that we were filming, we hung out together, joking, had lunch together, etc. He even saved a place for me in the long anaconda line to sign vouchers to get paid and exit the set. What an amazing friend, huh? It never ceases to amaze me @ how production can spice up a set and invent a total different atmosphere and vibe.
Once filming started, the first scene was about all the extras partying around and pretending to catch beads from other extras throwing them and confetti falling and making it look like a party zone while Nicolas Cage jumps on top of taxis and does a fast running action scene. My friend, Jared was in a Medallion cab that Nick jumps on top of and he calls him an asshole in the scene! HaHa!
My friend Jared is a professional stunt person. Later on, an Production Assistant comes up to me and tells me that he wants me to be a float rider instead of a Mardi Gras Partier, so I get into this amazingly hot costume and throw beads, cups, teddy bears, etc. and it was so much fun because I have never ridden on a float a single day in my entire life. I so enjoyed it but was sweating and on top of that I had to have a mask on! The only celebs that I filmed with were Nick Cage & Josh Lucas.
Lucas arrived on the set at the end of the shoot and had only on short scene and it was revealed that he would be “in a lot of gory pain” in the part he filmed today! Look for it in 2012! Today was a really fun day and I am glad that I got to see funny filming buddies of me: Erroll, esp. Victor, Jared, and Ryan! B certain 2 look for the scene in 2012! I have been featured in so many parts in this movie, I cannot keep track, but that is a good thing! :)
