Hi all John Juback (Duncan)here. First off, thank you George for your review of 'Turn..." in another thread here. I thought you gave an excellent brief description of the film. Glad you had a good time in Boston.
As far as Famke's cue it was a Sneake Pete I got for her. It was agreed thats what her character would use.
Famke wore a wig to tone down her stunning looks.
The flim opens today Fri. May 9 in NYC and May 16 in LA. Not sure of the other dates around the country but I feel strongly you all will enjoy it.
Chris Eigeman put together a very strong group of actors. Except for Famke the actors are not necessaraly well known names but all have extensive credits and experience and are well known in the acting industry.
I mentioned it before in another thread that Famke shot every one of her shots. I know because I was there for every one. We worked on it together but becuase of the demands of putting the film together, there is a lot of editing rather then showing her setting up, shooting the shot and the ball going in. But no one else shot even one of her shots.
Chris decided he did not want trick shots but fancy shots that could and have been played in one-pocket. I knew about most of the shots and Chris also had some he knew about.
For Famke to have had very little pool experience and do what she did was amazing to me. Thats including the fact that our training time was compromised because her film 'X-Men' had just opened and she had to fly all over the world to promote it.
If the footage of her shooting all her shots is on the DVD you all will be amazed.
I have not read the NY Times review but many reviews have been good to very good.
For a film made for only $500,000 it's damn good and I was proud to be in it.
If you all have any other questions fire away!
All the best,
John
