Chris Marquette Message Board

We just got back from an amazing day on the set.  We'll have lots to say as soon as we can come down off the cloud we've been on and transcribe it all.  We spent so much time with Chris today, it was just unbelievable.  He's the sweetest guy ever!  Everyone onset was totally gracious and helpful once word got around about who we were and what we were hoping to do.  Shout-out to Becky!  She repeatedly made sure we had a good spot to watch the action from.  Adam F. Goldberg, (the writer) chatted us up about both Fanboys and ROTN.  And Kyle Newman offered us a video interview, shot by his DVD guy, Andrew.  Of course we jumped on that, though we don't know exactly when we'll get a copy of it.  Not only did they give us a lot of their time today, both Chris and Kyle offered to contribute material for the site.  Hopefully, that will happen soon.

(And Sean, Kyle says he doesn't care what pics we use from the Fanboys shoot and he'll be happy to give us some more because "there's no marketing" on the film.  And Both Kyle an Chris remember you and that wild night at Ken's.)

And Kris, we made a special effort to get a shot of Dan for you, although it didn't turn out too well.  We have a couple of other pics of him, but they're a little far away.  Of course we totally know who he is.  He was very nice too, but we only caught him as he was leaving and he seemed very tired.  We wanted to get a shot of him and Chris together but we just couldn't get them in the same place when they both weren't busy.  You're not going to believe Dan's "nerd" look for the film.  It's pretty funny.  In fact, all of the nerds are made up to look pretty goofy, except Chris.  He looks great.  They just had him wear these really cute "smart-guy" glasses and a dorky old, plastic digital watch.

Stay tuned for much, much more...

PS: A little tease for you, we got him to talk about something that we've all wanted to know for a long time --- what the blazes BH & Co was trying to do with the whole Adam cheating scenario  in "Trial & Error".  I think you guys will love his answer.  We'll be transcribing the interview for the site as soon as we can.

Hey Kris,

Thanks for posting that.  We hadn't seen the teaser poster yet.  Very cool.  We were on set today and will be posting pics shortly.  All they did today was build some of the set on the Agnes Scott quad.  But we learned from a very nice police officer that shooting begins tomorrow morning at 7 am.  TeeJay and I will be there, hopefully with more to report tomorrow night.

One big thing we can tell you is that they're calling the college the same thing it was called in the original, Adams College.

Hang in there for more news.

And I love your avatar choice!

Deb

It's not that we forgot to mention you.  We were just speaking for ourselves as we sat here answering the post, with TeeJay typing and me dictating.

Deb

Yep, that's a damn shame all right. 

Deb

Man, I'm pretty disappointed that Calvin isn't even shot yet.  Mainly because due to bad information, we thought is was in the can and so we've been expecting this movie way sooner than we'll see it, by years.

Gary, if you happen by the site again, I'm not speaking ill of you or Broken Sky.  I'm a screenwriter who has yet to get a film off the ground.  I know the process of producing an indie sucks.  I was just really, really looking forward to this movie, as a huge baseball fan and of course as a Dorquette.  My sincere hope is that it gets underway as soon as possible.  If you can share anything with us in terms of plot tidbits, or anything really, we'd so appreciate it.  My big question is can we expect a baseball comedy or a romantic comedy?  Either way, the Dorquettes are down.

Count on us, we'll be there for you.

Deb

We were so happy with the way those caps came out, all we could think was that you were gonna love 'em, Anne.  So glad you did! 

Deb

Those look great! 

Deb

Yeah, man!  What TeeJay said!  That's why I want a current headshot so badly.  And you know what really bugs?  Almost every film --- certainly every studio film --- has an official still photographer.  Which means that probably for almost every movie Chris has done, photos like the 4000 plus we have from Fanboys exist.  But we'll never get to see more than a handful of them.  Which brings home once more how lucky we were to meet Sean.  Smooches, Sean!

Deb

When will you start packing?  Do you make a list of things you need to pack?

Deb

Holy wowzers!  Thanks for making caps for us from the two seconds Chris got in the trailer.  To me, it seems like he'll be a big part of the movie before Justin's character dies, but not so much after.  Oh well, I'll take it.  And not a comedic horndog for once, which is all we've had on the big screen so far.  How nice!

Deb

Hey TeeJay, the ever-elusive GSW is no longer elusive now that I've finally got it on tape.  It's already repeating again on Friday, 9/30.  Too bad we don't have a way for you to digitally record it that night so we could have better quality screen and vid caps. 

But I guess we can still watch it on TV so you can see it all clean and crisp and clear.

Deb

Cool!  Can't wait to get home now.  I have my computer here with me today because we're trying to make it so I can remote in, but I have no way to hook it up to the Internet right now.  :-(

So how's the hair?
