My death scene comes and goes quickly, which is to say everyone on set is so professional that things go off without a hitch. Christian has me walk across the deck, Luger pistol at the ready. Billy Trigger is in the bedroom. He sees me and ducks into a closet, closing the pocket door behind him. I open the door to the deck and walk in, gun in front of me in a two-hand pistol grip. I notice the closet door move and snap off a round one handed before ducking outside, waiting for the return shot to come. When it doesn't, I step in and prepare to fire again. That's when John Fallon as Trigger blows me out the door with a well-placed bullet. Anderson and Christian take me through the motions of being shot and falling without hurting myself. And Christian has several camera set ups to make the scene pop. He shoots it first from inside the bedroom, catching John at the closet and me on the deck.

The Cast and crew of Montreal-based action flick Billy Trigger have just wrapped their first week of shooting, and word from the front is all went well despite some setbacks. In the words of Billy Trigger himself, writer/actor John Fallon: DAY 3 was all about a shootout/stalk scene in a junkyard with the great Anderson Bradshaw (Ewan).

Matthew Bennett, Fallon, director Christian Viel and Anderson Bradshaw on the eve of shoot...

Who would have thought that a podcast recorded in a basement would lead to this? On Nov. 15 and 16 yours truly (this is Jason by the way) is headed to Montreal to get my ass kicked and killed in the upcoming action flick Billy Trigger. And I can't freakin' wait! Better yet, the man killing me is Billy Trigger himself -- John Fallon. Yup, the same dude who was our honoured guest at Dark Fest 2012 and is the star of Dead Shadows. You might also know him as The Arrow of Arrow in the Head. And I get to act opposite Fred Williamson as one of his evil henchmen. Pumped much? Yes! What does this mean for The Basement? Our first official set visit bitches, that's what! I'll be reporting throughout my two days on set and provide the gory details of my untimely demise. It'll be awesome, promise! Billy Trigger is the first full-length feature financed by popular movie fansite JoBlo.com. It reunites Fallon with director Christian Viel. The two collaborated on Recon...
