January 2005, Warner Bros HQ, Burbank, CA“What?” I asked, surprised. I hadn’t expected this at all. The way Barry phrased the question didn’t make any sense. If he wouldn’t accept this proposal, I’d simply go to Universal who gave me the second-best offer.“I have offers from other studios as well if you won’t agree with this,” I said after a few moments.“I know,” Barry nodded knowingly. “I just needed to have a face-to-face chat with you about this. A chat your father would not…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
“You are very pretty, Julie,” I said honestly to the girl sitting beside me. Julie blushed visibly before ducking her head. “Oh, come on. Don’t use one of your lines on me.” “I’m not,” I insisted. “If I were using a line, I would say something like, ‘Are you sure you’re not a fallen angel? Because you have landed right into my heart.’” Julie laughed beautifully, and all her nervousness from before vanished instantly. “That wasn’t half bad,” she complimented. “I…- 190.4 K • Ongoing
- I walked beside Tobias through what was supposed to be the Los Angeles office for my production house, Phoenix. The company might have been registered in London, but if I wanted to seriously tap into American entertainment, where the big bucks lay, I needed to maintain a presence in Hollywood. Still, since I came here so rarely, the place didn’t feel familiar. It felt more like visiting someone else’s office than stepping into my own. The space itself wasn’t the most impressive or luxurious I had…

- Robert Downey Jr. couldn’t believe his luck. Just two years ago, he had thought he would die a forgettable actor, remembered only as a junkie. But now, he was starring in the biggest blockbuster of the summer so far. “You did it, honey,” Susan, his wife, congratulated him with a hug when the figures finally came in. “We did it,” Robert corrected her. “I couldn’t have done it without you.” If he was clean today, it was all thanks to her, so it was obvious she had played a huge role…

- “Oh my God! I’m so sorry. I didn’t see where I was…” I stopped mid-sentence when I realized who I had bumped into. It was one of the most beautiful ladies. A woman, who I adored in this life as well as in the last one from what little I could recall. It was none other than the queen of , Rachel Green herself.I was stupefied for a moment before regaining my composure and coughing loudly. “Ahem, I’m sorry, I didn’t see where I was going.”“Oh, that’s fine!” Jennifer Aniston just waved…

- May 2010, Los Angeles, CA, USA I held the phone close to my ear as the man on the other side explained how things stood. “We’ve finished pre-production on , and we’ll begin shooting next week,” Tobias said, his tone almost clinical. “Lily Collins has been cast in the lead role, opposite Henry Cavill as the prince, with Charlize Theron playing the evil stepmother. We’ve even cast seven real life dwarf actors as the dwarves. Once filming begins, , , , and will follow shortly after, in that…

- “Keep going! Just like that! Now turn around and end it with your best moonwalk!” I followed MJ’s instructions precisely, letting the rhythm carry me across the smooth studio floor. The mirrors on the walls reflected every move, the glide, the spin, the snap of my foot as I landed the pose. I ended with my arms stretched wide, legs crossed dramatically, just as Michael would have done. “Bravo!” MJ clapped enthusiastically, his laughter echoing through the rehearsal hall. He stepped forward…

- Scarlett nervously looked over at the TV screen that was playing some old black-and-white movie she didn’t recognize. “,” Evan said as a way of explanation. “I like seeing old classic movies to incorporate them in stuff that I shoot. You can learn a lot from the classics.” Scarlett hummed noncommittally before glancing toward the other end of the room, where Troy’s mother, Kathy, was pacing incessantly. “Should we…” Scarlett hesitated. “Talk to her about it?” Evan shook his head.…

- We lay there silently for hours, turning over every thirty minutes at the chime of the stopwatch. The sun bore down relentlessly, but the ocean breeze softened its sting. We applied sunscreen on most of our bodies ourselves, with the sole exception of our backs. Those, we hesitantly helped each other with, laughing awkwardly at first until the tension faded. I drifted off many times during the tanning period, the warmth of the sand and sun lulling me into brief naps. After the first few minutes, all of…

- “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…
