From DailyNews:

A COSTUME DRAMA

In the short “All Saints Day,” a quietly sad young woman (Mamie Gummer, daughter of Meryl Streep) is heading home in a bedraggled costume the morning after Halloween - and an unsatisfying one-night stand.

Looking for directions, she strikes up a conversation with a charming young man (Benjamin Walker) sipping a cup of coffee on his Manhattan stoop.

Writer Brooke Berman came up with the idea for the plot the old-fashioned way: She and director Will Frears (son of Stephen Frears) stole it from life.

“Will heard this great story from our friend, [actor] Logan Marshall-Green,” says Berman, who is developing an expanded version of the short.

“Logan’s birthday is Nov. 1, and every year on his birthday his favorite thing to do is get up early, make a cup of coffee and go sit on the steps and watch the walk of shame in costume.”

With that seed of an idea, Berman, who was living in L.A. at the time, wrote the first draft in a day - after a little digging for details.

“There’s nothing like being in the bacchanalia of the West Hollywood Halloween parade and going, ‘Well, it’s research,’” he says.

Also, I’d like to apologise for the lack of updates here, I’ve been busy with life in general and other projects. I would also like to inform you guys that the site will be moving hosts soon, so this will probably be the last update until that is complete. The move should go smoothly with no interruptions, but just a heads up in case there happens to be one.

From Playbill:

The New York Stage and Film Company will present a one-night-only reading of Stephen Belber’s Geometry of Fire March 10.

Directed by Lucie Tiberghien, the reading will be presented at the Roundabout Theatre Company’s Black Box Theatre. The cast will feature Reed Birney, Donnie Keshawarz, Logan Marshall-Green and Jennifer Mudge.

“One man is a Marine reservist sniper just back from Iraq,” according to Geometry press notes. “The other is a Saudi American looking for the cause of his father’s death. When their paths cross, they collide — and both men grapple with their past and their future. This timely play is an intimate, humorous exploration of the complications of war and the effects on those involved.”

Geometry of Fire made its world premiere as part of The New York Stage and Film Company’s 2007 Powerhouse Season. The upcoming reading will feature Belber’s revision of Geometry based on that production, which co-starred Mia Barron, Reed Birney, Piter Marek and Logan Marshall-Green.

The evening will begin at 6:30 PM with a reception followed by the 7 PM reading.

Roundabout Theatre Company’s Black Box Theatre is located at the Harold & Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre, 111 West 46th Street in New York. For reservations e-mail efox@newyorkstageandfilm.org.

Hey, I just added 3 stills from U.S. Drag to the gallery, you can check them out here.

I apologise for taking a little longer than I had expected to get the site back to normal and also converted to wordpress, but it’s been a busy month for me. If you encounter any errors, please don’t hesitate to shoot me an email at crys@loganmarshallgreen.org and let me know because there’s a chance I may have missed something along the way.

I should be making gallery updates over the next week or so because it’s been awhile, hasn’t it?

Just to catch up on Logan news, the pilot for “Blue Blood” is complete and is currently awaiting network approval to see if it will go to series or not. “Across The Universe” has been out on Region 1 DVD for a few weeks now so go pick that up if you haven’t already though Logan’s role is small, but the film is good. And then there’s also Logan’s new play, “U.S. Drag” which began previews at the Beckett Theatre in Manhattan on February 23rd and opens March 1st.
