It's all set. Ron Christy has agreed to play the Rabbit character. He and I are part of the grounds crew at Concordia College. We were talking about the Decker storyline while we clipped bushes Tuesday. The rabbit and his sidekick will kidnap Decker after he falls into the pickup truck from the roof. Ron's character will drive the pickup out to the city dump, where the bulldozer operator will cover Decker's body with dirt. Then, the secret agents chasing Decker will arrive at the city dump in their shiny Mark IV cars. Decker gets away in the end with the help of the elves.
The Chamber of Commerce said they have a bunny costume I can use. Great. We'll do makeup at my house Saturday morning. Mr. Daum gave me permission to shoot the roof scene on top of his department store in downtown Seward. I have two sunbathers lined up, and a small inflatable swimming pool with water that Decker will fall into when he gets shot on the roof.
Phillip Duensing's older brother Paul has agreed to play the main character Decker, and his youngest brother Michael will be playing one of the little elves. When the kidnapper's truck pulls up at the stoplight, Michael will pop up out of the back of the neighboring truck and climb into the back of the rabbit's truck. He will join the elf party out at the city dump as part of Decker's escape. Maybe we can find a cape and hat for Michael. That would be cool.
I found a ringtone for Decker's phone at Link Library. It was on a vinyl LP record of sound effects. I checked the album out and listened to it at home on our family phonograph. I plan to use it on the soundtrack that goes with the film. I plan to use Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein" song when the agents pull into the city dump in their shiny new cars, as they chase Decker. That song will be mixed into James Taylor's "Long Ago and Far Away" song, which will run to the end of the movie and into the credits.
