“Thank you for coming here to see me,” I said, shaking hands with the man in front of me. John Landis gave me a nod. “It’s okay. I’ll do anything for my film. It’s my baby.” There was something in the way he said it that made me feel a little uncomfortable in his presence. Nonetheless, I indicated for him to take a seat on the couch opposite me. “So,” I began after a few moments of silence, “Why do I have a feeling that you came here not just to discuss the script with…- 231.0 K • Ongoing
- I sat across from my soon-to-be agent and carefully read through the contract she’d handed me. It didn’t take me long to get through the pages. “Honestly, I didn’t expect the reason for you not signing me up to be this,” I said, motioning around at her new office, which looked nothing like her old one. And thank God she didn’t insist on representing me back then. For if she had, I would have lost out on a good chunk of my profits from the backend deal I had subsequently signed with Sean…

“What the fuck happened to you?” Scarlett demanded the moment she stepped through the doorway of the modern seaside villa they were renting in Wellington. The wind from outside still clung to her jacket, and her eyes landed immediately on Troy, who was sitting in a wheelchair near the dining table. “Nothing,” Troy replied, a little too quickly. His tone was defensive. “Why would anything happen to me?” “Yeah, nothing happened when you fell off that horse either,” she remarked…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- “Please welcome the biggest superstar on the planet. One of the best singers working in the industry right now, and the recipient of multiple Oscars, Grammys, Tonys, and Emmys. Troy Armitage, everyone!” The studio exploded the moment my name was announced. I walked out from behind the curtain, lights flooding the stage as the band struck up its familiar tune. I waved enthusiastically at the crowd, their cheers crashing over me in a wall of sound. The standing ovation was honestly a little too…

- @SereneDreamer: If you still think Troy’s wrong, then it’s obvious you’re missing a few brain cells. You wouldn’t blame a bookie for making money off the loss of your favorite team. Sure, Troy made money, but at least he’s giving back to charity instead of hoarding it. Most of you have no idea how much $4 billion actually is. No other billionaire has ever made such a generous donation. This will probably go in the Guinness Book of World Records as the biggest donation ever. @NovaKnight: Love…

- I woke up after what felt like a very long, deep sleep. Yesterday’s run-in with a future superstar had left me reeling. Would he even become a superstar now that I had taken for myself? Even though I was exhausted, my brain was working overtime, thinking about Tom Cruise and the implications of taking one of his iconic roles. Should I feel some sort of guilt for taking the role away from him? I didn’t. Every film I’d done until now, whether it was or , had originally gone to someone else. By…

- The moment I saw her, I knew who she was. She was a future Oscar winner and one of the greatest British actresses of her generation. Not to mention a brilliant writer and a very funny comedienne. Emma Thompson. “I’m so sorry for being late,” she apologized. “I mixed up the timing for this audition with another one.” “Unfortunately for you, we’re done here for today,” John said sternly. “You can come back tomorrow...” “John,” I interrupted before he could finish,…

- The movie opened with the characters played by Steve Carell and Julianne Moore on a dinner date together. Steve's character asked his wife what she wanted for dessert, and she responded with something completely unexpected. “I want a divorce.” What seemed like a happy couple suddenly found their marriage falling apart. The strange part was that Cal, Steve's character, never even tried to convince her not to go through with it. He agreed almost immediately. He didn't even ask for a…

- Imogen Poots glanced around the set nervously, her eyes darting to the cluster of uniformed security guards stationed at various corners. They moved with precision, checking every crew member’s ID and scanning the perimeter as if expecting trouble at any moment. She turned to Jamie Bell, who stood beside her with his hands casually stuffed in his jacket pockets. “Is this…the new normal around Troy?” she asked quietly. Jamie followed her gaze, watching as one guard paused to inspect a lighting…

- “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…
