I just called the phone number listed on the call sheet.

"Lindsay" answered the phone. She said it wasn't the National Lampoon. Sounds like she's taken enough crap today, I don't advise calling her.

I know this has been mentioned earlier in this thread but I still can't comprehend a call sheet simply being handed to someone the way it was described in the original article. And that's coupled with the fact that ANY info at all about this movie has been so hard to obtain.

I have looed all over the call sheets and have not found any number! What is it if I could ask?

I made a posting about the legal letter from Paramount asking that I remove the Cheese Call Sheet here:

OK, so unless Abrams is going out of his way to screw with us, the call sheet is in fact legit. But before everyone gets all uppity, keep in mind that this doesn't mean that we know how the movie ends. It's pretty common for filmmakers to shoot out of order. The stuff on that callsheet may well be in the middle of the movie, so don't assume we know how the movie ends just yet.

Drummer: Yes the film was shot out of order (ie Scene #1 was shot on the last day.) But the scene numbering is from the shooting script. The reason why we know that the scene #160 is the last scene is #1 it says it is, and #2 most scripts have around 150-180 scenes. It seems very possible for that to be the last scene.

With this case - it's the internet. I'm sure if someone wants to find the call sheet, they will be able to somewhere (unfiction forums maybe?) and that my removal of the file link doesn't mean much.

I'm sorry that she was bothered. You might think that an article carping about how the nerds on the internet are all over 1-18-08 would have the sense to redact real phone numbers and addresses. Not that they are responsible.

I admit when I saw that stuff on the call sheet I had an "oh no, this isn't going to be pretty" moment.

The way New York magazine got the call sheet? I suspect they have an inside source who they just glossed over by calling them a "random person" much in the style that gossip type articles do.

I vote that we let New York magazine be the source

So I was trying to figure out if there was a clue imbedded in that call sheet somewhere, so I looked into the address at Trump Tower listed as the location for scene 1: Benhamou Residence, Trump Int'l Hotel & Tower, 1 Central Park West @ 60th Street, Apt 26D.


I think the locations listed on the call sheet are all actual locations in the city where they would be filming. I'm betting this isn't a clue of any kind..

I'm not sure that if this were a prank they would leave a real person's home address on it.

In any event, I know that no one will try to bother the people who live at that address.


I hope no one goes so far as to knock on the door and ask, "ARE YOU MY MAIN DUDE?"


Nerds don't leave their moms basement, so I seriously doubt if anyone on this forum will be doing that anytime soon. The last time they had contact with the outside world was when they were randomly dialing people they thought were associated with Slusho.

I didn't intend to harass anyone, and I apologized for doing so. The phone number wasn't from the article, it was from nooneimportant77's pics, which appears to be a permit. I suspect the NY Mag pic had the same number (in the top left), it was just pixelated.

I was hoping to have a more flavorful conversation like the one Whitenoise had. Laughing

No, you're right. It's been said better and by others, but the callsheet has the Paramount logo on it. Which means if it's fake, they can still C&D on it because the logo is being used without permission.

Which begs the question, what has NYMAG been told?

Parody is covered as free speech if it's a fake (What with the lampoon thing), but would that cover the use of the logo or is that too misleading to let slide?

That was my initial reaction, but the take down notice makes it seem like they're after the whole thing:

You are hereby put on notice that the reproduction, display and/or distribution by you of Paramount Properties constitutes copyright infringement as well as an unauthorized misappropriation of a protected corporate document. Further, your conduct would constitute an improper receipt of a corporate document.


I'm not a lawyer, but I think if only the logo were the issue, they would claim trademark violation rather than copyright. The wording also makes it seem like they claim rights to the whole document.
