Ey Harry, JoeyPogi here.
I don't know if this is news to you. Anyway, I had the good fortune to interview Billy Crawford today, the next main actor of the Exorcist. Billy just happened to be in the Philippines to promote his new work and so we got talk to him. Anyway, as the story goes, he's pretty psyched up to be in the Exorcist with Neeson, Phillipe and of course, Frankenheimer
Anyway, so I had to ask him, what parts of the movie could he talk about. Well, it will be set in Africa around World War 2. And Billy is going to have to be wearing a full body cast during the movie. He is actually going to have to go to "cripple school" for two weeks to train how to be a real cripple (interesting).
Also he talked about his lines in the movie, where he will play the possesed boy. And there are lines where he is basically trying to convince the priest that there is not a god. Jesus was simply a self-proclaimed prophet. Even the devil can perform miracles. Give him your soul and you will not have to worry.
Pretty frightening stuff, especially considering that Billy Crawford's mom in real life is probably a devout Filipino Catholic. Which for me, will brings a completely new angle to his acting and internalizing of the part.
Anyway, back to business, I once got in contact with your dad, Father Geek and Darius25 about being your aint-it-cool correspondent here in the Philippines, and they said it was kewl. This might come in handy, coz I want to get unto the sets of FERTIG and GHOST SOLDIERS if Pitt, Fincher, Cruise or Spielberg come to this country to shoot it. Anyway, that's all, I just wanted to be able to get unto the sets and help out your site.
Peace, dude. And check out my website at http://brashyoungcinema.tripod.com to see what I'm all about.
