dirt You can read the original shooting script in ‘conceptual dick.’ (Click on ‘ABOUT DICK’ at top of page).
Nominated for seven major awards – you’d have thought someone would have called to say thank-you…
And FYI: Yes something fell from the camera and hit Britney. I take safety on set very seriously and this should never have happened. The item that fell was the matte-box which fits over the lens at the front of the camera. It was not the camera itself, nor was it a flaming light dropping from the ceiling, nor the camera crane as has been reported elsewhere.
Whether you’re writing an article for a glossy magazine or posting info on Instagram please stick to the facts. Thank-you.
