Scoop Feedback:
May 2, 1998... Janeane Garofalo is slated to be in the picture too. ['Hawkeye' gave us the scoop.]
August 30, 1998... "I saw the rough cut of the film at the Paramount studio lot theatre. The film was less impressive than expected. Each scene was, as could be expeceted, underlined by an appropriate song from the early 80's. The main problem with the plot was that it wasn't all that well structured. It slows down then speeds up too frequently and thus becomes tedious. Affleck does a good enough job for his role, but then again he is pretty good at playing the funny guy. It's perhaps Love who steals the show playing the hedonistic blond bombshell: basically what she is in real life. Ricci was also quite cool, but her role wasn't developed enough, well that's what I thought at least." [Anonymous.]
October 19, 1998... This one is quite not done yet:"I am a locations manager in NY city. The other day I recieved a phone call from the locations manager of 200 cigarettes because he needed some info about a place I just shot at, that he was looking to do some reshoots at. They are preparing to go back in around the city in October, hoping to miss the winter weather approaching.
"Courtney Love is also in town doing the media thing - like Howard Stern - which most likely means the actors are locked into the city until they are wrapped." [Scoop provided by 'Atomic Boy'.]
