My Folks Are Always On Me To Groom Myself And Wear Underpants. What Am I, The Pope?

So despite the fact that I just did a huge casting with Kita (and am working some more on it because I am too stupid to know when to quit), I did another one for Don't Look Down by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer because I love the book a lot and have been thinking on it for a while. My eventual plan is to cast all my favorite Crusie books (I'm working on Fast Women and Bet Me as well) and then move onto my next favorite author. Possibly Naomi Novik's Termeraire series if I ever finish reading all the books.

Anyway, I did this. I had fun doing it. I'm probably going to continue to have fun when I do it again.

Don't Look Down




The Story:

Lucy Armstrong has come to Savannah to finish the last four days of filming on a romantic action movie called Don't Look Down. What should be an easy shoot is made a lot more difficult by the stunt coordinator (Lucy's ex-husband, Connor Nash), the script supervisor (Lucy's very unhappy sister, Daisy), an inquisitive five-year-old (Lucy's niece, Pepper), the backer (a sinister Irishman named Finnegan), and one strong and silent stunt man (J.T. Wilder, the stuff Lucy's dreams are made of). Then she starts to look beneath the surface and realizes that, unless she finds out what's going on fast, the movie isn't going to be the only thing that's finished in four days.

J.T. Wilder has come to Savannah to make some quick money as a stunt double while on leave from the Army (he's a Green Beret). What should be an easy job is made a lot more difficult by the star he's doubling for (goofball Bryce McKay), the starlet who's intent on seducing him (Althea Bergdorf, not that he's putting up much of a fight), his skirt-chasing best friend (gonzo-pilot Rene LaFavre), an eagle-eyed five-year-old (binocular-toting Pepper Armstrong), and a tough, exasperated director (Lucy Armstrong, the stuff Wilder's dreams are starting to be made of). Then the CIA calls and Wilder realizes that somebody is taking "shooting a movie" much too literally.

Throw in Wonder Woman, High Noon, Pre-Columbian porn, non-stop action, and fast-paced dialogue, and you've got Don't Look Down, romantic adventure at its best.

We just spent a really long time in the car getting my sister home. I'm going to go shower, have dinner, and veg out on TV all night long. I'm too frazzled to do more than that right now.
