Official: Out of Omaha, the movie
Moderators: Coyote, nebugeater, Brad, Omaha Cowboy, BRoss
The only time we talked about Robert Altman was in reference to my script because I had a scene with overlapping dialouge in it. I can't remember if Dana is his grandson or nephew. One of the two. But I've wondered why a talented guy like Dana hasn't benifited from nepotism like the Coppolas. Might have been Dana's decision, though. But I don't think it's necessarily a good topic to broach with him.
Either the age or the name is wrong. My source didn't name Altman, I just assumed it was him since he is from Omaha and the co-director. Dave Foley was saying this guy is just so talented, he is a genius (maybe there is someone else from Omaha who is also involved in the production?). Or maybe it is Altman and the age was misconstrued. Anyway, there is apparently someone working on the production that is very highly regarded.
They're shooting in the courtyard of the Central Park Plaza this afternoon (I hope somebody swept up all the cigarette butts ahead of time). Almost stepped into the background of the shoot coming out of Starbuck's. Looked like Lea Thompson was finding today's temps to be a bit nippy, soon as the scene was shot, she had on a robe and a coat over that.

Well, looks like filming has moved to my neck of the woods! They're filming today and tomorrow on Mockingbird drive & 98th st.. The RV is there and everything! How do I know they will be there today AND tomorrow? Well, I just came back from the butcher's (Just Good Meats, yumm) and the catering crew had aquired some quantities of beef from there and had kibitzed with the butchers. I'm stupidly excited about this!

Actress's big break brings her back home
Lindsay plays Cookie, a 15-year-old who doesn't want to climb into the family RV. She just wants to hang with her boyfriend, played by Omahan Nik Fackler.
Fackler, 21, directs music videos for bands like Neva Dinova, Azure Ray and Tilly and the Wall. He's been steering Foley, Thompson and other cast members to nightspots in Lincoln and Omaha to hear some of those bands.
Veteran Omaha stage actress Melissa Jarecke plays Lindsay's grandma. Omahan David Kalis, 13, plays her little brother, Milo. Tom Wees, known as the ghost of Jacob Marley in "A Christmas Carol" at the Omaha Community Playhouse and as Debra Winger's doctor in "Terms of Endearment," plays a police officer. Tracy Iwerson, John Lee, Delaney Driscoll, Jim McKain and B.J. Tobin, all of Omaha, also have small roles.
The shooting at 98th and Mockingbird was inside the Animal Emergency Clinic. I was making a delivery and walked in on it. The trailers around back might have tipped me off...
I didn't disturb the movie, they were just doing practice shoots. So, we know the movie involves a dog at the vet.
Let's piece the script together...

Wait, wait, wait...so you're telling me that a movie is being made with the title "Out of OMAHA", and it's being produced by someone named Payne who isn't the famous Omahan or any relation, and co-produced by someone named Dana Altman who isn't the head basketball coach of the Bluejays??
Dat's craaaazy.

No kidding. It looks like some high school kid with basic photoshop skills put it together.The poster design is a good concept, but it looks a little chintzy as is. They should try for something a little less cluttered.

Apparently 'Out of Omaha' is no longer post-production but has been completed. According to NoHo Films: "Completed Principal Photography October 12, 2005" and "Out of Omaha is the first of three projects NoHo Films International plans for their 2005-2006 slate of what Payne calls 'culturally specific and universally accessible' projects that combine upcoming and award-winning talent with marketable character driven stories."
Also co-producer Dana Altman is the grandson of Robert Altman (a KC kid), who moved to Omaha to marry and raise a family. His North Sea Films is at 2626 Harney.
