Boston; director swap; Costner and Barrymore

Gene Hackman, Tom Cruise, Julianne Moore and a Flight crossover

Michael Keaton for Anthony Edwards is rejected as too large a presence; John Slattery is proposed for the ensemble.

Tom Hanks for Jimmy, Heather Thomas for the blonde nurse, and Catherine Bach for Karen are proposed without a final vote.
