"The screenwriting trope known as the reversal"
So true! And I know, I worked on it! Tony Gilroy is a very talented screenwriter and wonderful to work with, as a director.
See the movie MARCH 20!! :)
noraleah:
This article on Tony Gilroy — the screenwriter behind the first and second “Bourne” movies, “The Cutting Edge,” “Michael Clayton,” etc. — did exactly what it was intended to do. I now want to see “Duplicity” (a Julia...

I have to say, the past few weeks, months what have you, have been a whirlwind. I was home in Kansas City for two weeks, and then back here trying to whip things back into shape in NYC. My dearest Sarbear was here for the better half of the summer, which was amazing - we certainly had some amazing nights/weekends and have the facebook pictures to prove it! - and it culminated with getting a new...

Oh and another thing...
I am about to head out the door to assist an Italian film director while he works through rehearsals and mini casting sessions for a new movie filming in Boston. Drat, why didn’t I learn Italian in school again??? Wish me luck!
J.K. Rowling on the Importance of Failure... →
A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend my best friend (since the age of 4) Andrea’s very official Graduation from Harvard. It was an intense full day of ceremonies - complete with sportscaster-like announcers - from 7 am to 7 or 8 pm at night. The commencement speaker was J.K. Rowling, and at first I have to admit I was somewhat less than ecstatic. That was until she started...
Shakespeare in the Park →
The link to the Public Theatre’s Shakespeare in the Park schedule, etc. This year there is also a new feature of the “virtual line” for tickets, although I have yet to use it. Good luck and happy theatre-going!
Shakespeare and Laura Linney
What a weekend! Between the reshoots on Duplicity (which were a lot of fun but incredibly long hours!), I managed to still enjoy myself!
Last night I had the distinct pleasure of getting my hands on a ticket to the Public Theatre’s production of the oft-quoted “Hamlet”, arguably the Bard’s most well known piece, at the Delacorte Theatre in Central Park. The Delacorte...

All At Once...
I had to post this song, at this point in my life, not only because is it a beautiful song, but also because it is truly how I feel right about now. After everything that has been going on the past two weeks in my life (more on that later), I find myself feeling like it’s all happening “all at once” and I sincerely hope I will be able to take it all in and handle it all.
Now. ...
A lot of everything...where to begin
I know it’s been a long time since I wrote, but hell, there’s been a lot going on Chez Marziipan.
Well, to begin, I found it fitting that my first post after such long absence would come on the eve of a new chapter of my life. That of Marasan Festoff, the Executive Producer. I will try to do better in the upcoming months about posting, but we saw how well I did the last time I...

Apologies
For my very few readers….I would like to apologize for the lack of posts on this site. I promise, there is much to write about and thus, more will follow…be patient. This will not be a repeat of all my journals in the past. I mean it. Trust me. Seriously.
Online Scrabble Craze Leaves Game Sellers at Loss... →
I find this amusing in light of my, and many of my friends, recent obsession with Scrabulous. It’s great fun and anyone who would shut it down gets a black mark in my book. I mean, come on…you know you have 5 games going at any given time too! Boo on Mattel and Hasbro!
Emotional Rollercoaster, Part Deux
Last I left off, I believe I was still stranded in the Tuxedo Village Delicatessen, desperately asking every new customer for a lift into Tuxedo Park. Yessss, brilliant. You laugh now, but just you wait and see. I had all but given up, and finally settled down with my lovely “Breakfast Special”. The Breakfast Special consisted amazingly of scrambled eggs, sausage, real hashbrowns...
Emotional Rollercoaster of a Weekend
After meeting more than my fair share of professional “bloggers” recently, I felt it was only fitting I should start one of my own. I have never been very good at keeping up with any thing even resembling a diary. I cannot tell you how many of those journals/diaries/dreamcatcher books I got for birthdays over the years…they all have one initial entry, which begins along the...
