We made our day!!!!!!

Yesterday was the first day of shooting for Sorority Row.  It was so much fun to see it all come alive after a two year journey on the script.  The first day of shooting was on location at the exterior of the sorority house and we shot two and a half scenes of the script.  We had most of the main cast there, including Briana, Leah, Rumer, Margo, Jamie, Julian and CARRIE FISHER!!!!!  I was a bit of a geek with her.  She’s one of my favorite writers and yes, I was one of the dorks with a poster of her up in my room as a kid.  I collected all the Star Wars trading cards.  She was nice enough to take a picture with me which I’ll post in a future entry. 

Speaking of the cast, I’m not sure if I mentioned Julian on the blog yet.  Julian Morris is playing the part of Andy (Cassidy’s boyfriend) and he’s a super-sweet kid.  Really a nice guy.  And a GREAT actor.  I guess he’s got a big arc on this year’s ER that just started its season last week.  He and Briana have some great chemistry together.  Although it seems that most of the girls on the set want to have “great chemistry” with him.  :-)

All in all, the shoot day went great.  Stewart had some really fun ideas and inventive ways of shooting the scenes (which weren’t in the script) and the footage looked fantastic (at least on the monitors). 

I still haven’t touched base with the Summit publicity person so I don’t know what I CAN say/show and CAN’T say/show (out of courtesy, I will do my best NOT to reveal any spoilers on this blog, at least not obvious ones).  We had another one of the lead girls on set for the first day but I’m not sure if they’ve released her name so I’ll wait to reveal it.

I’m off to set for Day Two.  I’ll try posting later tonight.
