While they could be going on ride-alongs while filming it seems more likely the actors wouldn't be doing research while in the middle of their performance, they would be just focused on their performance.
There are schedules that need to be met due to other commitments actors may have so it can't be too far behind. Could casting be the reason for the brief holding pattern?Something interesting to note is that last Thursday Deadline Hollywood mentioned that America Ferrara being a part of EoW. Is the first time Ferrera has been mentioned with the movie.
Is Natalie Martinez still on board as Pena's wife Gabby, or will America step into the role? Does she play off Anna better on screen?
Or could Ferrara step outside her comfort zone of good girl roles (Real Women Have Curves, Ugly Betty and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) and play LaLa.
The cast sheet summary for LaLa is: "This butch Latina is an armed and extremely dangerous homegirl who runs with the Curbside Locotes gang like she is one of the guys. She thinks and acts so much like one of the guys that she too vies for the pretty girls at their wild parties. She's a bit leery when the Sinaloa cartel orders them to waste a couple of cops -- but she's ready to roll..."
EoW looks to have the potential of a fast shoot, since it is going to be done in documentary style as opposed to something highly stylized or with a lot of effects.Once it gets going EoW should go like a house a' fire, but it looks like no one has see any hint of smoke yet.
