[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 12150, member: 1991"] Gday All Marg's man here. I don't know why I'm still up (it's after 10 PM our time and I was first up this morning at 5 AM) after driving the lot across Sydney and doing my own turn as an extra. Hey the play needed an 'audience' and I was going to be there anyway. The filming went really well and difficult child 3 'done us proud'. There's no way they can cut his bit out without whole chunks of the movie. It's a paean to warrior mums and the scene they were in is central to the main plot. The film is a personal story and stars Toni Collette (Little Miss Sunshine, Sixth Sense)as the boys' mother. There are other stars but most of you won't know most of them because they are big in TV here. In the scene Thomas and another boy are in a play when the other boy has a meltdown due to all the noise and bright lights (WE know what that looks like, don't we?). After events that we still don't know about the brothers are reconciled and Thomas does the number WITH his brother. difficult child 1 plays a Rainbow Lorikeet (with the attitude of an English football hooligan - bright, noisy and totally insane i.e. Aspie); difficult child 2/easy child 2 gets up on her low stilts and plays a giraffe and difficult child 3 (with Marg as his 'wrangler') plays Noah on the ark. He introduces the 'show' and reacts when the meltdown occurs. Marg tells me that he thought it was for real during the first rehearsal and tried to jolly 'Charlie' out of it. Today he just got up and did his bit - take after take after take. Time came for him to stop (he too young for a full day under Actor's Equity rules) and he was worried they wouldn't be able to go on. We reassured him that they would use playback and he was cool with it. Just as well; because the bits involving me went on for another two or three hours and I was stuck in what turned out to be foreground - I usually hide when a camera comes out. This time I would have fogged the lens if I breathed hard! On top of all this Marg missed her medications and is now nearly bedridden with pain waiting for them to kick in having taken her daily dosage about 12 hours late. It's difficult child 3's birthday tomorrow (which is also Australia Day equivalent to 4 July) and we have yet another outing but this time it will be fun after a l-o-n-g sleep in! It will almost certainly get a world release later this year. We'll let you know when. Marg's Man [/QUOTE]
