Here's something that just came up at home:

Alex (12 years-old) has been in a college film...He plays a kid who's bouncing a basketball down the sidewalk, not paying attention to anything but the ball because it's on a downhill grade and he's trying to keep it from bouncing away...A car backs out of a driveway without seeing him and he gets killed...A person with the powers of time manipulation changes things so that when Alex bounces the ball past the driveway, the car is not there until a few minutes later, so Alex lives...So, in one scene you see him get killed by the car, in another scene you see him continue to bounce the ball past the driveway...


All that he did for his role was bounce a ball to the driveway and stop....Then he started from the same position and bounced the ball until he was past the driveway


Now, for the new thing:

Jordan (7 years-old...Dustin's son) was SUPPOSED to be in a movie...His part was supposed to be filmed this Sunday...We were informed that it couldn't be done, so now we're just going to wait and do it (independently) this summer


He was supposed to play a kid who grew up to be a mortician

In his scenes he was playing with a headless doll in his room when his mother comes in, yanks away the doll, and yells at him

In a later scene, he's holding the doll and he's very sad, he says "look what they've done to you"


What is happening is the kid HAS become a mortician as an adult, and everything that happens to the doll is really happening to a corpse, the mortician is having flashbacks of his childhood (which is what Jordan's part is about)...So, you see the mortician talking to a headless corpse, that he loves like a kid's doll, and when the mother burns the doll (so the kid can't get it back again) the corpse is actually burning


As far as Jordan's involvement goes, he was only supposed to be playing with a doll, yelling "NO" when the actress (mother) takes it away, and then holding the doll and saying the one sad line...Not very traumatic, huh?


BUT...The heads of the department read the script after the stupid 'corpse actress' (20 years-old) complained because she felt that laying there while someone touched her hair was just too "creepy" and she would be uncomfortable and probably have nightmares:rolleyes:...This girl's major is acting...How is she EVER going to be an actress with that attitude?

Anyway...It was decided that it was too morbid for a 7 year-old to participate in...So, the director (one of my closest friends) asked if it could be changed to a 12 year-old (Alex), they said 'no way'

It's all just bullshit...Jordan is pretty disappointed...He loves horror movies, and the chance to be in one made him happy
