"Full Frontal": The Rules of Engagement
By Hollywood.com Staff

When director Steven Soderbergh began looking for the cast of Full Frontal, he sent scripts accompanied by a set of rules that would be in effect throughout the shoot. This is what Julia Roberts, David Duchovny and many others were reportedly told:

If you are an actor considering a role in this film, please note the following:

1. All sets are practical locations.

2. You will drive yourself to the set. If you are unable to drive yourself to the set, a driver will pick you up, but you will probably become the subject of ridicule. Either way, you must arrive alone.

3. There will be no craft service, so you should arrive "having had." Meals will vary in quality.

4. You will pick, provide, and maintain your own wardrobe.

5. You will create and maintain your own hair and make-up.

6. There will be no trailers. The company will attempt to provide holding areas near a given location, but don't count on it. If you need to be alone a lot, you're pretty much screwed.

7. Improvisation will be encouraged.

8. You will be interviewed about your character. This material may end up in the finished film.

9. You will be interviewed about the other characters. This material may end up in the finished film.

10. You will have fun whether you want to or not.

If any of these guidelines are problematic for you, stop reading now and send this screenplay back where it came from.

I don't know if Steven Soderbergh actually wrote that, but if it he did, it really bothers me that he ends sentences with prepositions. But maybe it's the Hollywood.com people who end sentences with prepositions. Whatever the case, it bugs me.
