Photo of the beach where "Surfer Dude" is filming.Well, it's been about a month since Damien's last job on Charlie Wilson's War. Still his manager hasn't called us for any more jobs but late last night the same people that hired him for Charlie Wilson's War called us about a new movie, Surfer Dude. This movie stars Matthew McConaughey.
Earlier today I was thinking I should measure Damien's height because he seems to be growing. I had to buy him bigger jeans for the length. So when this agency called and asked, Are you sure he's 4 feet 7 inches and only 72 pounds? I had to tell her I didn't really know. So she asked if I could measure and weigh him and call her back. Wow, has he grown! 4 feet 10 inches and 85 pounds! Well, it turns out that is the exact height and weight they were looking for to be a photo double for a little boy in the film.
There were only two problems and I had to call the agency back again to let them know how we worked these out. This job would take a week to film and Damien's last day of school is Tuesday along with a Play he's in, Oliver. The second problem is Damien's hair is too long and they'd need to cut it so he looks just like the boy starring in the film. Damien donates his hair to help cancer victims and he really didn't want to cut it, but after some thought, he decided he would donate some money from this job to cancer research instead.
So I called the agency back and told her Damien was willing to cut his hair but he did not want to let the school down and not show up for the Play. Since the Play would be at night, she called the Assistant Director of the film to see what could be done. She called back and let us know it was all settled, Damien would have half a day off on Tuesday so he could make his Play! Yay!
I will need to call later today to get all the details and will bring you up to date.
Okay, the update. I was talking with my brother about this movie and what does he tell me? His best friend is working with the crew. This is his friend that was also working on Charlie Wilson's War. It's nice to know that we'll know someone on the set.
We were given the information for Monday's shoot. Damien will need to be there at noon. This means it will probably be a late day. Not sure if we'll stay in a hotel or make the long trip back home. From the phone information it sounds like there will be very few people filming. Four men and the two boys. Damien is getting excited and also getting worried about the haircut they'll be giving him. I'll post photos on Monday night (if we come home).
