Peter Cattaneo (director of "The Full Monty"... who is currently directing "The Rocker" for us at 21 Laps Entertainment --- that's the name of our production company) is a huge Arsenal fan. Although he hates both teams involved in the FA final tomorrow (Man U and Chelsea) he's waking up at the crack of dawn, heading to Santa Monica, and paying a $20 cover charge to catch the game at a British Pub. We were discussing some Arsenal players this afternoon... he's very dissatisfied with Lehman in goal, and he's been thoroughly unimpressed with Juan Baptista. Thoughts?
As far as "The Rocker" goes: We begin shooting in Toronto in less than a month. Rainn Wilson is attached to play the lead... a former drummer in an 80s hair band (Vesuvius) that got kicked out right before the group got huge. After spending the last 20 years trudging through life as an account/claims investigator, he joins his nephew's band for a talent show gig (they need a drummer). They have a rocky start, but things soon take off and we see FISH (Wilson) trying to make up for lost time by partying to the maximum (and nearly killing himself) in every small town and city that the band tours in... there's a lot more to the movie than just that, but there's a kick breakdown (without any of the ancillary characters or relationship arcs). It's shaping up very nicely. I'll relay more info as the cast comes together over the next week.

so since you are working with rainn, does this mean that you can hook me up with john krasinski?
i'd owe you big time...
if that means we'd get to refer to John Krasinski as "Tina's boyfriend" then yes
