      by Fable Weaver “Why?” I asked Rihanna as soon as she walked into my hotel suite. “Why did you have to make it so difficult to hate you? Why couldn’t you have waited a month or two before apologizing?”Rihanna raised an eyebrow. “And what would happen in a month?”I pursed my lips, debating whether to tell her. Finally, I decided to bite the bullet. “My album will be out by then.” I paced around the room, agitated for no apparent reason.Always quick to see beneath the surface, Rihanna caught on…

      by Fable Weaver “I really love the work you’re doing for a cause you’re clearly very passionate about,” Larry King said after we talked about my charity for a good five minutes. “Let’s talk about other ventures that you’re involved in. I love the work you’ve done with Crocs, which has become an international brand today. Most people would agree that it was those provocative ads of yours that made Crocs a household name. Who came up with that idea?” I laughed at the question. It had been so long since…

      by Fable Weaver “As I can see, you use an iPhone,” Sundar pointed out, his gaze flicking to the sleek device placed on the table. I nodded. “Of course I am. Apple’s user interface is so easy to use.” “Well, try this phone then,” Sundar said, gesturing toward the handset he had placed besides my iPhone just moments ago. I raised an eyebrow before picking it up. The phone felt a little heavier than my iPhone, with a plain, unassuming black casing. It looked like a basic Android device, the kind you…

      by Fable Weaver Finally, it was December 16.The day of the table read for . Luckily for us, it was here in LA and not in Philly or it would be very uncomfortable for us to move to Philly for a couple of days, only to come back for holidays, and then go back for shooting again.“Ready, champ?” Steve asked from the driver’s seat where he had just parked the car in the Disney parking lot.“Yeah,” I answered in my now almost real American accent, “Just a little nervous I guess. Haven’t met anyone famous…

      DOS Ch-55 Cover
      by Fable Weaver After my failed attempt at getting Spielberg to change the climax of the film, days went on normally. Or as normally as they could go on a film set. Steven had taken it upon himself to praise me to heaven and back whenever I would do a good scene. One thing I noticed was that all that praise was solely focused on me alone. He never went out of his way to praise the adults as much as me, even if they had given master performances, which led me to believe that I received praise only because of my age.It was…

      by Fable Weaver July 2003, Leavesden Studios, LondonI raced inside the maze, with Henry Cavill right by my side.“See you on the finishing line, Harry!” He grinned as he dashed towards the left, while I went right. Ignoring the cameras around me, I kept running aimlessly for what seemed like hours (because of all the retakes), before finally, a giant black teddy bear was in front of me again, which I recognized immediately. It was the same figure used in the for a dementor.“Expecto Patronum!” I waved my wand in…

      by Fable Weaver January 2005, Sundance Film Festival, Park City, Utah“My question is for you, Rian,” a middle-aged lady spoke into the mic. “How does it feel being part of one of the world’s biggest film franchises after a small indie film like ?”“I still can’t believe they’re letting me do this,” Rian Johnson said with a chuckle. “This feels like a big elaborate dream. I couldn’t thank Troy and Steve enough for recommending me to Warner Bros. for this amazing opportunity. I have been a huge fan of…

      by Fable Weaver Kaori was more than excited to get the opportunity to see at the premiere with the entire cast, which included her favorite actor of all time: Troy Armitage.She had been so smitten with him ever since she first saw him all those years ago that she had learnt English with great proficiency, if only to be able to talk to him one day. She had almost lost consciousness when she saw Troy right there in front of her. Thankfully, her friend Haruka was there to support her.The intro of the film was entirely too…

      by Fable Weaver “What do you think has impacted the music industry the most in the last decade?”Arlen Brock already had hundreds of points he could raise as soon as he heard the question. He was a seasoned music critic, after all—one of the greatest, in fact. But since his audience wasn’t as knowledgeable as he was, he decided to dumb it down a bit and keep it generic.“Undoubtedly, sound mixing software that anyone can use,” he answered honestly before elaborating. “A decade or two ago, it was almost…
