It is Monday and Willy and I got home at 5:30 am this morning. He has today and tomorrow off although since he worked half the night, he'll spend his day sleeping which means missing another day of school. I had no idea when we signed on that he would have to stay there all night...three nights in a row no less! I'm hoping that is the end of that schedule! He has day time shoots later this week. The powers that be on this movie don't pay any attention to the child labor laws and ignore me when I bring them up! I have our agent and manager looking into it today. I'm not sure what my options would be on set. If I walk out with him I worry that I'd be in violation of our contract. I think they assume that these kids are just so happy to have a chance to be in a movie, that they can schedule them however they want. And many parents I'm sure go along with it because they think they are promoting their kids careers. I just want Willy to get enough sleep and stay healthy!
There were some exciting scenes over the week-end. Demi's dancing scenes were a hoot. And Eamon, once again proved that he is a master at improv. Willy got a kick out of being able to hang with Ashton Kutcher and talk sports. He was surprised that Ashton was not more outgoing and funny. He also asked me how much older Demi is than Ashton. I said I wasn't sure and he said he could tell she was alot older because she has old lady knees! Too funny!
For the next two weeks, we'll be back to a smaller group of actors as all the extras have now finished as well as Demi, Tom Church and Siobhan Fallon. Siobhan was really fun to have around. We will miss her! My sister told me that in the beginning it would all be very exciting and then as the days go on, it gets to be mundane and exhausting. She was right. Last night, instead of watching more scenes, I took a nap in my car!
