They are having a casting call in Estes Park on March 2nd and 3rd for extras...several thousand people are expected to apply. The lobby of the Stanley is just about done with very dark wood trim, a dark green wallpaper and crystal chandeliers (the movie company rented them...they won't stay at the Stanley) There are also several ghost stories about the Stanley I can share with you if you'd like.

Hi: Sure...that would be great to put my updates on...My girlfriend and I went to the auditions Sunday for extras and in a two day period they had a couple thousand people show up. They will be filming until Mid-April in Estes Park, then going to studios in Denver (Old Stapleton Airport) and Arvada Colorado, before returning to Estes Park in early June (I presume to do scenes for when the family first arrive at the hotel). They're going to bring in a snow-making machine to The Stanley, although right now as I type it's snowing like crazy and we're supposed to get 6-12 inches tonight. They confirmed Rebecca DeMornay at the extra call out on Sunday and there was word that Jack might be played by Dennis Quaid, but that hasn't been confirmed. I may have a "IN" for an extra part as a ghost because i work at The Stanley. Stephen King has started to get mail at the hotel and they will definitely begin filming on March 11. They also asked us what type of cars we have to use them in the filming, so maybe my Jeep Wrangler will be in the film. Unfortunately, I have been off the past three days, but work the next five starting tomorrow (Wed.) so I'll have some more updates for you.
