Untitled Terrence Malick Project

Yesterday was a truly amazing day (apart from a history test). There's a film being shot in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, on a ranch owned by Bryan's best friend(John)'s grandfather. It's about 2 1/2 hours away from where I live. John was kind enough to arrange for us to be able to come on set and we went yesterday. We were there for about four hours. Not much happened the first hour, but we got to know the director's wife "Ekkie." The others (including Ben Affleck and Terrence Malick) were shooting in a field about one minute away from us. After an hour was up Ben and Terri walked up to where we were and one of my favourite actresses Rachel McAdams and her boyfriend Michael Sheen walked on set with them.

Rachel and Ben had many love scenes. Bryan and I think it was a montage sequence as much seemed improvised and Terri was telling them what to do while they were rolling. It was so much fun! Rachel and Ben were just playing around in the field. I was in awe when standing just a few feet away from Rachel. I was dying to be introduced to her, and finally was at the end of the day. John was spending a lot of time with Ekkie and so we asked her to introduce us. First we met Ben, who told us that we shouldn't do anything the way we'd seen it happening on set. Then we met Rachel and Michael. She is so beautiful! Finally we met Terri. Everyone was so kind. It was a wonderful day!
