Cassie is easy to see in this video, but Peanut is that dark little blob in the left side of his cage. Pay close attention to him, his ears and head pop up at the same time that Cassie pops up when they hear the door opening up.

I meant to put this on the last blog entry, but today is the last date that Cassie will ever experience for the very first time. Notice how I wrote that, date, she will never have another one…wait, I lied, leap year…I’m so silly…

Yeah, I know, I haven’t posted on here since last Wednesday…but I’ve been busy. I’ve been actively trying not to get caught on here when I could be writing my script. On Saturday, before going camping (yes, we went camping last Saturday) I was able to write about twelve pages worth of almost all description and action for–in my opinion–a pretty big scene. I was really please with my self.

Can’t say the same for this week though. Its been a hell of a week with barely any writing. I did remove a character that had actually changed twice for the beginning of the second act. The scenes that were removed with that character I feel speeds up the action. So, I guess it worked…On Saturday I got to page 77 (almost the 80 pages I had mentioned last week of wanting to get too) but because of the removal of a character I’m back down to 75 pages. No loss. In fact, seeing that I feel it runs smoother, I’m happier.

I will say that because the nature of the story (which, don’t bother looking for any explanation on it, I didn’t forget to post it, nor will you see a synopsis of it, I just don’t work like that. Most people won’t even know that I’ve written something until I hand them a printed version of it to read) I feel like I have 2 First Acts. If that doesn’t make sense, then maybe when I’m done with it, which will hopefully be before the end of August, you may just be someone who gets a chance to read it.

I have a couple of posts I’d like to get up here before the end of the day so keep an eye out for those.

This is exciting news, I just hope they don’t completely bring it down to the literal “core” as the head of Disney said. I wouldn’t mind a Pirate movie on the level of the first one; which, in my opinion, was the best of the three movies.

Comic-Con is in full swing at this point, and ComingSoon.net got a surprise interview with Disney’s Head of Production Oren Aviv where we talked about the genesis of some of the projects they were showing at the con, though we did have a lot of questions about future Disney plans as well. One of the movies that’s still on the forefront of everyone’s mind is the fourth installment of “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Producer Jerry Bruckheimer told us a few weeks back that they were working on a script, but Aviv and Disney are definitely on board as we learned when we discovered that they have plans to be rolling film on the movie as early as next year.

“We’re going to shoot ‘Pirates 4′ in April and May of next year,” Aviv told us during our interview. “We are going to release it hopefully in 2011 is the plan.” He said that this time they would only be doing one movie this time that would “hopefully be the first of another trilogy.”

“It’s important to get the story right and it’s important to me to scale it down, because we can’t get bigger,” Aviv admitted. “The movies have subsequently gotten bigger and bigger and very complicated and they were satisfying on so many levels obviously, but I want to kind of reboot the whole thing and bring it down to its core, its essence, just characters.” He agreed that there is a lot of Captain Jack Sparrow’s back story that we haven’t seen yet without confirming or denying that we might see some of that in the fourth movie. Still no word on whether Gore Verbinski might come back for the fourth movie.

Look for our full interview with Mr. Aviv very soon. It will definitely be of great interest to anyone who is wondering how Disney has been making decisions about some of the movies they’ve been making and will make in the future.
