Just got this report from Twin Falls. As I told you a month or so ago, there is a new Kurt Vonnegut movie on the way. This one is even more daunting than MotherNight, and also has Nick Nolte in it. BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS, starring Bruce Willis is underway and well, we have a spy on set. That's right... the blind lawyer that sees everything is on the case, and I place my blind faith in him, so here's Daredevil....
Hi, Daredevil again. Just heard some more news about Bruce Willis' movie BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS (based on the Kurt Vonnegut novel). It's currently being filmed in Twin Falls, Idaho and my brother got to be an extra in it. He told me that he played a convict in the nifty orange jumpsuit and the actual scene took about 2 hours to film. The scene included Omar Epps (THE PROGRAM, HIGHER LEARNING, SCREAM 2) who is in most listings I've seen of the cast.
The person I was surprised to hear about was Michael Jai-White! Yup, the man under the SPAWN mask! My brother said that Mike played the "main character" in the scene and that Epps was his friend. The scene centered around that one of the two (I think Epps?) was getting out and this was their goodbye scene. I guess Jai-White is impressively huge (he benches 575 lbs!), and the deep voice from SPAWN ain't digitally modified. I guess at the end of one of the takes, Mike turns toward the other convicts (my brother says he looks straight at him) and says, "What're you lookin' at?", and it was very intimidating.
Other people who are in the movie: Albert Finney (ANNIE), Barbara Hershey, Nick Nolte, and Lukas Haas (WITNESS, MARS ATTACKS). It should be out in theaters in November.
