What's happening in Vinceland?

Hey Vince fans! Sorry for the lack of updates lately. Summer always has a way of keeping me away from the computer.

The last couple of weeks, Vince has been in South Dakota filming Into the Wild. He is playing Chris McCandless' close friend, Wayne Westerberg. This is a pretty big role and a nice surprise for Vince fans because we originally thought he would be playing the much smaller part of Jim Gallien. IMDb still lists him as Jim, but we have since learned from several sources that this is incorrect.

Locals from the filming locations in South Dakota have been stopping by the Forum and also the IMDb Message Boards to share their firsthand accounts of meeting the cast and crew of the film. Here's an article that ran in the Argus Leader on July 7th that also talks about the filming.

I just started reading "Into the Wild" and am so excited that Vince is involved in this project. It's an amazing story and it will be interesting to see him in a dramatic role again. (Speaking of which, I just watched The Prime Gig tonight. I encourage you to watch this if haven't seen Vince do drama. He's awesome, of course, and it's such a great movie.)

Also, Vince is in talks to play the role of FBI's John O'Neill in the political drama Against All Enemies, the film version of Richard Clarke's inside-Washington memoir. More about that can be found here.

In other Vince news...hmmm...nothing else really comes to mind. ;-) All I have to say is that if you're interested in the gossip that's been floating around lately, we have a discussion about it in the Forum, as well.

That's all for now. Hope you're all enjoying summer as much as I am!
