Dateline - Los Angeles - February 13, 2009
My producer, Susan Fowler, my wife, Ruth, and I met in Los Angeles at 11 am on Friday the 13th to travel to Simi Valley and the Ronald Reagan Library and museum. We toured this amazing facility including its star exhibit - Air Force One! This is the VERY PLANE that Richard Nixon flew from Washington to San Clemente on the day of his resignation. For those of you familiar with the novel, this plane plays a role in the climax of the film.
We wanted to get this piece completely right. Touring it gave us a good sense of how the plane FINISHED its life with George W. But, it was different in the Nixon days. A book in the gift shop provided the photos of the appointments then.
One fascinating note. The interior of the plane does NOT smell like a commercial airplane - It smells EXACTLY like a Missile Launch Control Center! I had a major deja vu experience when I stepped in. Amazing.
Legal work on the structure of our production company - Kilo-11, LLC is done and we are only days from completing all the paperwork to begin raising funds. Summer is still in the production schedule.
