Tim Duncan Totally Fouled The Jane Austen Book Club October 15, 2007
Posted by TheHype in Movies, San Antonio Spurs , trackback |
The Tim Duncan media frenzy just would not stop. This time, it’s his drop step in entertainment dominance: Timmeh (crossing my fingers) hopefully will be somehow immortalized in the future DVD release of The Jane Austen Book Club … in a round about way … kind of.
But first hetero rep reaffirmation: No, I did not watch The Jane Austen Book Club. Come on, The Game Plan was much more realistic and gritty. Okay, glad I got that cleared up.
So as I was listening to the Creative Screen Writing Magazine’s podcast with the writer for The Jane Austen Book Club (seriously, I didn’t watch the movie, I just like podcasts! I swear!) and at about the 5:40 until 8:20 mark, said writer was talking about trying to fit a sports-talk scene and Duncan had a minor influence in the movie (après le saut!):
Apparently there’s a character called Dean played by Marc Blucas who had to talk about Tim as part of the scene. Blucas impressed the writer/directors during his casting read by saying that he’s actually #21’s best friend in real life. It’s true! Wire Images confirms it though are bastardly making us pay to see the full image! Fuckers.
Anyway, Blucas then wanted to riff by doing an improv scene trash talking against an imaginary Duncan where it’s all on tape. Soon after, the Spurs were in L.A. and Tim actually went to the set of the movie and to his shock they replayed the tape back to him. OH THE HILARITY!
But yeah, all this is to make sure I have it on record that Tim Duncan actually does cool stuff once in a while… even though it might be in the form of The Jane Austen Book Club.
