THE 24th DAY

(Synopsis)


It’s the 24th day after Tom (Scott Speedman) has found out that he is HIV-positive.
A married man who has lived his life as “straight,” he has had sex with a man only once in his life. Consumed with sorrow and rage about his situation, Tom sets in motion an outrageous plan.

Finding Dan (James Marsden), the man he slept with five years earlier, Tom lures him to his apartment, ties him up and forcibly takes a blood sample. If Dan’s test comes back negative, he will let him go; but if it is negative, he will kill him.

The stage is set for an intense battle between the two men, with Dan using every method at his disposal to try to escape. Both of them are in top physical condition, while Dan seems to have the intellectual edge. Will that be enough for Dan to trick his way out of his bonds?

Still, as the two men face-off and gradually reveal themselves, the question becomes: who is the true victim or victimizer? Tom’s violent kidnapping and murderous threats clearly pass the bounds of legal and rational behavior. And yet, if Tom’s conviction about Dan is true, then Dan is accountable for more than a minor moral lapse. But is Dan in fact responsible for giving Tom HIV? He adamantly proclaims he isn’t.

Writer/Director Tony Piccirillo keeps introducing enough twists and turns in the story to keep it surprising and involving, while setting off a host of explosive questions….
What moral responsibilities do we have to one another in the age of AIDS? Are we only answerable for ourselves? Is there such a thing as absolute “Truth”?

THE 24th DAY

About the Production


Writer/director Tony Piccirillo began writing what would become “The 24th Day” in the early 90’s, when he was living in New York City. An actor friend was looking for a scene to use in a class, and Piccirillo came up with a five-page scene. “At that point it wasn’t about hostage-taking,” says Piccirillo, “it was just about someone confronting another person about if they were infected and the other person not really responding.”

The idea for the scene came from an unsettling experience in Piccirillo’s life. “I had had a very short affair and sometime after that I got really ill with strep throat,” says Piccirillo. “When I was in the emergency room, the nurse said to me, ‘I don’t want to scare you, but you should get an AIDS test.’ I went to see the woman about it and she acted very aloof. I asked her if she’d ever been tested and she said, ‘No I haven’t, but I’m fine—don’t worry about it—you’re overreacting.’ I started to think, ‘What if I find out I do have HIV and I go back to her and she still blows me off?’ And that was the impetus to the play.”

As the piece developed, many new story elements had to be brought into the story. “Taking someone hostage is not an everyday event,” says Piccirillo. “There has to be a domino effect of incredible forces to drive this character to do this. It’s not enough for him to take someone hostage just because he thinks he gave him HIV.” Piccirillo developed new aspects to Tom’s character that are revealed as the play proceeds. “When you start to understand who he is—it’s not like you feel like he has a right to do this—but you begin to understand why he’s doing it.”

In 1994 there was a successful New York reading of the finished play, which netted Piccirillo an agent. Sometime after that, the script got into the hands of Noah Wyle, known for his portrayal of Dr. John Carter on the hit NBC series “ER.” “After Noah was interested, all these doors started to open up,” says Piccirillo. A Los Angeles reading was set up with Peter Berg (“Chicago Hope”) as Tom and Wyle playing Dan. Before the reading was over, a backer was found and in 1996, there was a six-week sold-out run at the Coronet Theatre starring Wyle and Berg and directed by Paul Lazarus. “The 24th Day” was nominated for an LA Ovation Award for Best Play and received rave reviews from local papers, including The Hollywood Reporter, who called it “a shattering piece of theatre.”

After the play finished its engagement in Los Angeles, eventually an agreement was made with producer/director Nick Stagliano (“The Florentine”) to shoot the film in Digital Video in Stagliano’s hometown of Philadelphia, with Piccirillo as director.

Piccirillo cast Scott Speedman (“Felicity”) in the role of Tom, the confused man driven to extreme action. “What I liked about Scott is that he could play the blue collar tough guy,” says Piccirillo, “but he still comes across as compassionate. It’s really easy for an actor to take on the character of Tom and play all the anger—be out of control, psychotic, yelling—that would be easy. But Scott also delivers the vulnerable moments.”

James Marsden (“X-Men”) joined the cast of “The 24th Day” as Dan. “I first saw James in a film called ‘Gossip,’” says Piccirillo. “In the film, he cheats on his girlfriend and she catches him. He is so charismatic with her that within minutes she is forgiving him for it. I thought he was incredible. I totally bought what he was doing and knew he’d be great for Dan.”

In transfering the play to film, Piccirillo added a lot of additional scenes for the characters, including a roommate for Dan (played by Latin American superstar Sofia Vergara). “When I began to edit the film,” says Piccirillo, “a lot of the additional material turned out not to be useful. I kept coming back to that apartment, because that was the part that mattered most.”

The decision to direct the film himself was a significant one for Piccirillo. “I was so close with the material and had lived with it so long, that I had a clear vision of what I wanted,” says Piccirillo. “I wanted to keep things simple—just let the actors act and let the story unfold.”

Piccirillo considered the idea of making the film digitally as a big advantage. “I knew that video would give me more time to work with the actors. It wasn’t going to be ‘two takes and let’s move on.’ We could stop and take forty minutes and talk a scene through and really get to it. And sometimes we’d just run an entire eight or nine minute scene all the way through. And that freedom shows in their performances.”

All the scenes set in Tom’s apartment were shot in sequence, another advantage for both the director and the actors. “It’s really a lot easier to navigate,” says Piccirillo. “If you’re at a certain emotional level and now you’re shooting the next scene, the actor gets a better feel for where the character is. It would have been difficult to do this particular piece any other way.”

Producer Nick Stagliano assembled a top-notch production team of experienced professionals including co-producer Lou Digiaimo, Jr., line producer Lynn Appelle, director of photography J. Alan Hostetter and production designer Norman Dodge. Dodge built the apartment set on the empty site of the old Philadelphia Convention Center. “Even though we were working with a relatively small camera, shooting on the set allowed us to move walls when necessary for a shot,” says Piccirillo.

*

The title of the film signals the rage and denial that surrounds Tom at the beginning of the story. “There’s no perspective after 24 days,” says Piccirillo. “It’s all raw. He doesn’t have time to reflect. This is the state that Tom is in for three weeks. And perhaps when he was about ready to let it go, he sees Dan and his anger gets refueled. And this leads him into taking this action.”

After he is taken hostage, Dan tries to humanize himself to Tom, in order to get free. “Dan is the type of person who has always relied on his charm and his intelligence to get by in life,” says Piccirillo. “And this becomes the biggest test of that. You might think that because Tom comes off as a brutish guy, it would be an easy thing for Dan to escape—that Tom wouldn’t be able to match wits with him. But things play out differently and it’s a bit more complicated. Even though Dan is trying to get free, he’s actually trying to understand Tom. Scared as he is, he’s able to feel for him a little bit.”

Tom keeps trying to break through Dan’s lies and evasions to try to unveil “the true truth.” “In life we experience things and then we each come away with our own truth,” says Piccirillo. “There’s my truth, your truth, and then—there is what really is. And one of us might have it, neither of us might have it, or we both might have it. It’s not that one person is lying—it’s just that everyone believes that what they’re holding from that experience is true.”

It was important to Piccirillo that there be no hero or villain in the piece. “I really tried to have you shift back and forth in who you are feeling for as you are watching it,” says Piccirillo. “Understanding one character for a moment and then the other. They each present their case and then the audience is left to walk away and figure things out on their own.” Because of this, Piccirillo has seen that his story can spark additional frank discussion outside the theatre. “I’ve spoken to people, who for the first time—after seeing this—have had open conversations with people they were involved with,” he says. “Guys that are cheating on their girlfriends, who have thought about it, because they’ve seen “The 24th Day.”

“It’s very easy for us to say that we’re only responsible for ourselves,” says Piccirillo, “but I believe that we need to do more than that. If we took it upon ourselves to look out for each other, we’d all be a lot better off.”

Born in London, England, and raised in Toronto, Speedman spent most of his youth immersed in athletics, following in the footsteps of his mother who held a world record in running. At ages 12 and 14, Speedman was a part of the relay swim team that held the national record for the 400-meter medley. In 1992 as a member of the Canadian Junior National Swim Team, Speedman performed well at the Olympic trials, but suffered a neck injury soon after and was forced to leave the sport.

When not working, Speedman enjoys hiking, camping, reading, and playing basketball. He currently divides his time between Los Angeles and Toronto.


SOFIA VERGARA is an internationally recognized TV host and actress. Her other films include Barry Sonnenfeld’s “Big Trouble,” with Tim Allen and Rene Russo, “Chasing Papi,” and “Soul Plane,” with Tom Arnold and Snoop Dogg.

Any way James Marsden is going to be on The Sharon Osbourne Show Tommorrow Monday May 10th. I know it is shown on the FOX channel but I don't know the times. I haven't researched it that far but here is the link where I got the info

http://www.interbridge.com/lineups.html

Hopefully it's Jimmy and not Buffy's Spike...James Marsters (I've seen so many confusions between the two)

Actually in going to Sharon Osbourne's site I found it introducing James Marsden and The Notebook... So yes it's Jimmy.

 

[Lisea]

If it's him, we need to have someone give us a transcript.

 

[phoephoe]

What excites me even more is that I suggested him to that show about 15 times lol.

 

[Lisea]

We need more pics.

 

[phoephoe]

Here's some

 

[Daniella]

Thanks phoephoe...

Some are new to me... and the last one is so cute... ohhhh!!!

I want to be on Lisa's place...

Dany

 

[phoephoe]

Well I watched The Sharon Osbourne show today and it was cool.

They introduce him with a picture from X-2 then he came out. Amongst things he also said they'd be shooting X-3 next summer which has been around the net for a few days now. Not that it was new news but he seems to be on the same link as the rest. Mainly they discussed that he was this nerd all through school and had pictures that he said was like elementary school. They were crazy. He had buck teeth and he claimed he was hideous. And he talked about some things in school and what not. If I have time to type it out I will but it may not be until tomorrow. It was really funny though. I will try to either find it already on the net and post it here or try to type it up (they all spoke quickly I may have to rewind and play a few times) But I promise It will get here (even If I am the last to post it lol)

 

[Lisea]

Much appreciated. I'd also love to see these pictures, I hope they appear online.

 

[phoephoe]

Alright This is the first chance I have had to look since it had been storming all day I had my computer down.

This is a link that shows a quick preview of the show and the two younger pictures of him

http://sharon.warnerbros.com/showinfo/thisweek.html

I don't think it will last long so you might want to look quickly. There is a Real Player format and a Quicktime format.

I think the pictures are really cute. I mean I've seen pictures of my brothers when they were that age. (I'm much younger than them) and the difference was as equally measurable. You could tell it was them but it was way different.

I can give you a brief spoil of each with out watching it.

First they spoke about the Cyclops doll that was casted to look like him and that he said they came to him to okay the product and the whole time he was thinking that if there was something he wanted to change about himself, right now was the time to do it.

Then when the doll was handed to him the first thing he noticed was that the doll had a flat butt (he refered to bum instead)
And then he went into how he just wished the doll had something he hadn't. Which was really kind of funny. Every one laughed.

Sharon asked about the costume material and asked if it was rubber. He said no but joked and said by x-3 maybe. (Because it would be then next hardest thing to put on and wear as a costume) They discussed that he was sure that x-3 was filming next year.

They got into this question something like have you always looked this hot or did you grow into it type thing. He kind of shy's away from questions like that, he said he finds answering questions like that kind of hard because he didn't see it. (he blushed)

Then he went on to being a dork and nerd when he was a kid through high school. They showed a couple pictures and he indicated that he had beaver teeth and that a log he was seated with in one of the pictures had actually been cut down by him and his teeth. He said it was his trophy log.

He spoke of an experience with these girls on the playground and they wouldn't play with him because he had big lips.

He spoke of this shirt he wore that said "JOCK" and it was a half shirt (mid-drift) and every one laughed.

He spoke of when he was in high school he wanted to work in front of the camera so because where he lived you had to be a newscaster in order to be in front of the camera and they went into him going to school to be a newscaster.

Then they went into The Notebook. They showed a clip and discussed a little. Really it was the shortest part of the interview.

There is really alot more in the detail and when I have the chance to get the transcript I type up I will. Unless I find another online. Which I will look for.

 

[Lisea]

*sits and waits*

Sharon thought the uniform was rubber? She really is as dumb as she looks.

 

[phoephoe]

Jimmy interview on The Sharon Osbourne Show

I don’t want to sound completely brain dead but I don’t know who the girl is that is co hosting the show with Sharon so her name will be CH for co host… LOL and I got like 98% of this text is to the word but there are a few words that I lost due to mumbling or more than one person talking. I have problems hearing sometimes.

First they show a picture of Cyclops from X-2

CH: Now I keep hearing how hot our next guest is. Hot Hot Hot You guys might know him as Cyclops in the movie X-Men. He’ll be catching your eye in the new film The Notebook, Let’s welcome Hot (she mumbled something to Sharon) James Marsden

He walks out onto the stage

JM: Thank you, thank you this is very nice Hello (to CH)(CH put her leg across his lap as he sits)

Sharon: You have to say hi to our host family. (She has a family of the day that is kind of like a make a wish thing)

JM: Oh hey there you are, wow this looks just like your real house. (About the set to Sharon)

SO: Yes, they are having tea while were talking

JM: Hello (to the family over the back of the couch)

SO: Alright, who is this?

The co-host pulls out one of the X-2 Cyclops dolls

JM: Oh Yes there he is isn’t he?

CH: We were wondering how you felt about that.

JM: You know it’s very exciting. Look his eyes light up and everything.

CH: Were also wondering why he has no buns.

JM: No, yeah you know what, it was very exciting they came to me and said were gonna make action figures of all the characters on the show. I thought and I was like this is the only chance I am going to have to change anything that I want about myself so they came to me they made these little molds and they bring them out they say to get your approval. And I said where is his bum? They showed all the other you know I saw every one else’s and they were appropriate I saw that I had an unusually flat bottom.

CH: Now is that because you have no bum err is...
JM: Yeah, No, I um Yeah I I could use a little extra in the back.

CH: Is there something you need to accept Or did they do you wrong.

JM: No I think I just want um something that I don’t have. So you know. (Kind of with this sad look)

SO: Aw he has no bum (She squeezed his butt)

SO, CH & audience: Awwww

They pat him on the back.

JM: So it’s like just play me walking back out in slow motion. You’ll see you’ll be like he has no bum.

CH: Is this the costume? (She asks of the doll in hand)

JM: Yes

CH: Yes

Sharon: What is it made of?

JM: Plastic (referring to the doll like Sharon was air headed then laughed)

SO: No I know this is (pointing to the doll laughter covered the last of what she said)Behave.

CH: Is this a painted on thing or is it like a very…

JM: That would have been fun. It would have been almost more comfortable if it were painted on. Um

SO: Is it rubber?

JM: Plastic, no its leather. It’s very thick thick uncomfortable leather.

CH: You said “Is it rubba” (to Sharon mocking with her accent)

JM: Is it rubba? (Mocking Sharon)

CH: (as Sharon) James is it rubba?

JM: It is now it will be in X-3 It will be rubba.

SO: Oh are you doing X-Men 3?
JM: um yes eventually I think we will um

CH: and how much will you be making when you do that, no just kidding.

JM: A couple of penny’s it will all go to Mr. Jackman probably. (Jokingly) um I think
No I think sometime next year we’ll be making the third one. I am very proud of the X-Men movies, I don’t know if you guys like them. (Crowd cheers) They are very popular and very smart. I pat myself on my own back.

SO: Or on the bum

JM: or on my bum just not there(?) He rubbed a spot like it was sore or something

CH: So every one wants to know if your one of these guys that wasn’t hot as a kid and then suddenly became hot or you’ve been hot always.

JM: Your making me blush, I’m not…(he was blushing and playing with the fabric on his pants)

CH: You had like 10 dates to the prom.

JM: No No No I was, its very difficult for me to look at myself and think I’m, I was I was kind of hideous as a child. Not only was it just physically it was like mentally. I was doing some very strange things. I actually brought some pictures.

Lots of oh’s and ah’s from the audience as they bring up the first picture.

JM: There we go

SO: (mumble) snaggle tooth look there.

JM: It was a huge, I don’t know what happened there, there is a nice cold sore.

SO: One side of your hair is longer than the other.

JM: There is another one I had huge teeth, huge buck teeth. Yeah now now, this is what is interesting with this other one though look view the 2 teeth then view the log next to me. It’s like I just cut it down with my teeth.

SO: You look a little beaverish.

JM: Yes, and I’m proud. It’s like this. This is my trophy log.

SO: But your teeth are good now.

JM: It worked out, it worked out
SO: Yeah, it all balanced out.

JM: Yeah I don’t know what happened

SO: When you were at school did people say like he has a snaggle tooth or you look like a beaver?

JM: No, it just kids at that well these pictures were much younger but Junior High’s the worst. Right because every body is just like brutal I remember I was walking and these 3 girls were trying to pick between this guy and me to play with on the playground and this girl was like “Not him his lips are too big.” To me. I was like this with my teeth hanging out.

(Couple things said in the likes of the sentence above a lot of mumbling I couldn’t hear)

JM: It was fine but I was so small like 80 pounds when I graduated High School and I wanted to be a jock so bad I was just tiny.

SO: A Jockey?

JM: A Jock like a sports guy

CH: Anything like football baseball tennis

JM: Yeah a Jockey, Yeah I should have been a jockey because I was 80 pounds. But yeah I should have been a jockey made of rubba, a rubba hat it would have made me weigh more.

JM: Um no I wanted to be a jock a sports guy so badly I got a shirt that said Jock that I wore to School.

SO: Oh no

JM: Yeah they’re believing me now.

CH: You really were a dork.

JM: Oh I was a dork. They are like he is going to come out and say he was ugly and he was dorky, I was the epitome of a nerd. I wore a shirt and it said Jock and it was a mid drift (half shirt) CH freaked out laughing and kicking feet.

SO: No

CH: No, you had a mid drift

JM: I should have worn it today.
SO: No you did not you just made that up you threw in that mid drift just to make us laugh.

JM: I swear, No It’s the truth and I had jogging shorts on with it. And I wanted my feet…
And I’m not making it up

SO: Were they Speedo’s

JM: No they weren’t Speedo’s because I thought Speedo’s were not cool but I thought jogging shorts were.

CH: He’s doing this to me(motions a time like cue that some one gave her from the production crew)

CH: Oh it’s time for a break he told me this (hand motion) like I am a talk show host.

Commercial break

CH: points at his ankle mumbles something(his sock either fell down or his pants just went up too high when he sat he kept pulling down on his pants)

JM: Yeah my embarrassing wardrobe.

CH: Now we are curious like most people are how did you get into acting did you always want to act.

JM: No I was in a couple plays and musicals in high school things like that but I grew up in Oklahoma so it was like how do you become an actor in Oklahoma.

SO: Oklahoma!(sings the song) That’s a musical

JM: Yeah unless you wanted to do that musical for the rest of your life which would be lots of fun. But no I was um I wanted to be in front of the camera because I liked it from you know drama class and being on stage so I wanted to be a newscaster. It was the only thing you could do study that was legitimate you know to be in front of the camera so I went to school and studied Journalism you know to be a newscaster.

CH: (mumbled) Something about amazing newscaster?

SO: No you have to have an orange face you don’t want that

JM: yeah you do You have to look like an oompa loompa.

SO: and bad hair.

CH: You can go to Mr. Tan and get an orange face.
JM: You just named the two reasons I wanted to be a newscaster. I’ve always wanted an orange face.

CH: well that’s because you have the Jock t-shirt

JM: That’s right. The jock mid drift

SO: You could hide it behind the desk and no one would see it.

JM: It would be my little secret.

I predict few slurpy pictures coming from the Reload...I got the Wizard preview today, and Scott's new visor is the ulgliest, most ungainly thing I have ever seen! Why lose Quietly's sleek, hip design?
