Tuesday, 28 May 2002: Part I New York City, New York
Shoot at the Global 33 restaurant with Mac, Seth and Simon Jones playing the British journalist. Simon is most legendary for his participation in Monty Python. Paparazzi are waiting outside across the street. That's fine, since we are indoors most of the day, but there's the small and unavoidable matter of the scene where Mac walks along the street and buys a NY Post. We thought we would shake them by very publicly wrapping Mac for the day and then bundling him into a van while we go off to shoot something else. However, this didn't work. Unsurprisingly. When we finally shoot the shot it's a mad rush because we are rapidly losing light. At least on this occasion Mac is fully dressed, although that doesn't make shooting this any more comfortable for him personally.
