The Suicide Squad Table Read

"Go West, young man."

Like the Beverly Hillbillies, I'm loadin' up the truck and bound for Beverly (Hills, that is -- swimming pools, movie stars).

This Friday, I'll be hopping a plane for the City of Angels -- The land of empty promises, broken dreams, heart aches, heart breaks, and for the lucky few ...

Well, you know.

Anyway, big week for Suicide Squad and for Starbox Pictures.

Our Web site will go live, official fund raising will kick off, and I'm finally going to meet the cast and director in person.

One of the interesting things about this project has been the bi-coastal approach. Adam's working the ground in L.A. He's assembled our cast and crew, scouted locations, and handled the tasks that require an actual physical presence; while I've been responsible for the less exciting tasks that could be handled from here (setting up the LLC, writing by-laws and articles of organization, working with our accountant, putting together logos, working on Web designs, opening our corporate account, setting up our cafe press store, etc.

All important tasks, no doubt.

But I am really looking forward to meeting the cast and director, and doing the table read, which will be the first step in making final revisions to the script.

We still have to trim about 20 minutes, punch up some of the dialogue and the action, and then I think we'll have pretty close to the final version.

I will be glad when all the business side of pre-pre-production is behind us, and we can focus on why we're really doing all this -- the story itself.

I'll also come back with pictures of the cast, and will be releasing details about the movie over time.

Stay tuned for interviews with our stars, photos, and hopefully more exciting news to print here as time goes on.
