We have new news! And I’m excited about it! It’s Brenda! And just like with the Will entries, we updated you on who, what, where, why and how - we’re doing it again! But with Brenda! As you can see Brenda news makes me happy.

As recently stated, Brenda is going to be starring side by side with Lisa Edelstein (Cuddy of FOX’s House) in a Lifetime Original Movie called Special Delivery. SD follows Maxine Carter, a Pacific Rim bonded courier Maxine Carter. She must transport uppity teen Alice (Song) from her father in China to her mother in Hawaii. Max soon discovers a trap has been set up for her client and must do everything she can to keep Alice safe.

Pre-production has already been going on for the television film for four weeks and beginning this Friday, Brenda and Lisa will be in Hawai’i to film until February 22nd. I know, before I said Wendy Wu 2 was still filming in Australia - that I will confirm with our dear friend since she left this tidbit of info from me too. But anyhow - it’s Hawai’i! And that is a definite plus for me. No passport required to go see her if I wanted. Who knows. LOL.

The entire film will be shot at about 16 locations on Oahu, including Kahala, Waikiki, Chinatown, North Shore, Turtle Bay Resort. Honolulu Airport, a nightclub, hospital, and several street scenes. The production company (appropriately named) – Special Delivery LLC – is based at the Hawaii Media Inc. in Halawa Valley. The movie is the first by the Island Film Group and some 90 percent of the crew is local. Producer Francis Conway describes Special Delivery as a Midnight Run-style action-comedy.

And like with Will, the production crew is still looking for extras! So if you’re in Hawai’i and in any of the former mentioned locations - go for it!

The entire cast is local with the exception of the two stars. Producers need about 18 background actors of all ages and ethnicities who will receive $75-$135 for eight hours work, plus any overtime. There will not be any weekend filming. A few scenes are supposed to be China so Asian actors are needed. The rest of the film takes place in Hawaii. What is especially needed are a 20-35 year old male and female “club goers”…

Oh and Brenda - check your email!
