Week 11 Ends...
As Week 11 comes to a close and Week 12 is nearer, we did witness the cast and crew eat a Thanksgiving meal. This is very special for fans because many of the cast and crew members are not from America. However, one American who was not feasting with them was Mehcad Brooks who took to Instagram to post a politically-motivated anti-Thanksgiving triad, asking fans to donate to several organizations who provide food for Indigenous people (formerly referred to as "Native Americans") along with many factoids about the continued struggles of these people (I guess he's never heard of food stamps or government-sanctioned reservations).
Todd Gardner gave a speech before the meal, explaining to his many foreign guests the watered-down version to the meaning of Thanksgiving (that it exists to give thanks) before thanking the cast and crew and acknowledging how happy everyone has been on set.
Week 12 Updates:
As we begin Week 12, we continue to see training videos, this time pushups from Jessica Namee and Mehcad sucks helium and gives us his opinion on this movie. TBH if you miss it, you're not missing anything. He appears stoned out of his mind, says there are explosions and that this is the first movie he's been the most manly. (If you check out the gossip sites on him you'll see he was speculated to be gay for years until photos surfaced with him with a woman).
Leo Santangelo posted a weird video of him basically saying he lives out of his car and freshening up for his next gig. Let's hope this was his choice (he called himself a gypsy) as many martial artists experienced homeless in their lives.
However, the most major announcement to come (and thanks to the guys above who reported it) has been the casting of a 12 year old Asian-Australian to play an unannounced (at least from what little we get in the freebie article) role. Her name is Matilda Kimber and she'd been keeping this secret for a while, likely responding to the June/July casting call for major speaking roles.An official announcement is here:

She is speculated to play the role of Emily, who will be the daughter of Lewis Tan's character, Cole (It's not Turner anymore, at least in the 11/18 draft).
I may miss the actual photo so I took a screenshot ... but Lewis Tan just posted a photo of him wearing a New MK hat! Eeek, so excited!
Joe Taslim's daughter is seen wearing another hat sideways or backwards and on the reverse side it showed a smaller MK dragon with the words MK written out. This could also be the panavision hat Joe wears alot so nevertheless it's all interesting merch.
