0 Double Die Hard

Friday was an good day (Aren't Fridays always good days?). I was a bit bummed after getting all dressed up as a detective on Monday only to not get used (for those who haven't read my previous posts, this is for the Die Hard 5 movie that is filming now here in Budapest). Friday morning made up for it when I got a message from an assistant director asking if I would be willing to come out on June 4th for a 'New York' airport scene. Of course I would! Are you kidding me?

Then while walking around the movie location after lunch, my buddy and I ran into Stuart Wilson (whom we had met on Monday on the set), who has long been Bruce Willis's stunt double. He's a super nice guy, and he told us he would be coming to the marine house event Friday evening.

So, I dragged my oldest son with me (my youngest is on a school trip to Bucharest) to the marine house, which is located in a gorgeous building within the castle district overlooking the Danube river and parliament building. Stuart showed up and also brought Mike Papac, who is he weapons expert for the Die Hard movies. He's the one who outfitted me with a pistol for Monday's shoot.

I got some pictures, though I looked bad in all the ones with me in them (isn't that always what happens when you get pictures you really want?). Stuart and Mike told us some amazing stories from the various movies they have worked on.

*sigh* I'd so love to actually get a minor role in a movie. That would be a blast. It's not likely to happen, but I'm having fun even being just peripherally associated with this film!
