My Hollywood System

Chapter 193:

Chapter 193:

The day when Andrew could finally test the completed costumes and see if there’s anything more that should be adjusted, had finally come after weeks of waiting for it.

Andrew was waiting for this day because he had been practising and building his body to ensure he had the perfect figure in front of the camera as Will requested.

And it made him happy knowing it was finally the day where he gets to wear the Spiderman costume himself and choose something that can make his reputation fly in the industry.

Will and Stan Lee were standing in the middle of a studio where the other people were doing the assigned task around them. Everyone was in fact busy with one thing or another.

Many tailors, designers, artists and people who were wanted at the moment were walking here and there. Andrew was inside trying to put on a costume which was made just from– with his measurements and everything.

“I wonder if it would suit him perfectly,” Stan Lee said looking at the people in front of him.

“Even if it doesn’t fit on the first try, it eventually will,” Will said without showing any emotions.

Will had instructed the designers to make several costumes, both from comics and some from his own imagination. With everything he researched and liked, he had instructed them to make a costume based on a ps4 game costume of Spiderman.

For several obvious reasons, he wanted to keep the first movie’s costume similar to Sam Raimi’s. Will was very open to adding attributes for the costumes going forward — and with time.

“So, what do you think, should we make a natural webbing instead of making a web shooter in the movie?” Will questioned Stan Lee.

The question was something Will had to answer sooner or later. Something he was aware of from his previous world was that in most of the [Spiderman] movies, Peter Parker would always make web-shooters. But in the first movie, Sam Raimi made Peter Parker shoot webs naturally instead of Web shooters.

The original idea of it was from James Cameron who made the [Spiderman] movie during the 90s, but he dropped it, only for it to be picked up by Sam Raimi.

“It’s a unique idea indeed, but why are you going with it?” Stan questioned.

“Well, the thing is, I just want the movie version of Spiderman to be a bit different than the comics. You know, if we take the entire concept into practical theory, it makes more sense than thinking that a teenager was able to make web shooters which are really scientific and are built from scratch. So, do you get it?” Will asked, looking at him.

The deal with the web-shooters in the previous world was much deeper than it seemed. Raimi’s Spider-Man movies were bold adaptations of the source material, with just enough changes to make the films appealing to general audiences without losing sight of who the character is in Marvel Comics. And one such change was the web-shooters; in the comics, Peter Parker invents mechanical web-shooters to wear on his wrists that can shoot web fluid, thus allowing him to swing around New York City. The web-shooters are unique to Spider-Man and just because he was bit by a radioactive spider, that didn’t mean he could also generate his own webs — at least, that wasn’t the case until 2002’s Spider-Man.

“I feel like this is very flexible but tight as hell,” Andrew said while grabbing the attention again.

By the next week, the casting crew, including Will, were able to find the other roles that had a space where the actor’s name should be included. Nevertheless, Will was able to hire a bunch of actors and actresses who he was satisfied with– and even Stan Lee agreed to.

For the role of Harry, they were able to audition and agree upon Reagon Norris who had played the lead role in [500 Days Of Summer]. Will initially had the thought of how he would fit into the role perfectly in mind, and then the agency was more than happy to make him participate in the audition which made things smooth with the process.

For MJ, Will got Rachel Linden. She was the British actress who Will worked with– from [Sherlock Holmes]. The reason why he selected her was how he understood that she had a good grasp about the role and the understanding she showed with the character. Due to how she looked and how he thought she would make a good MJ, Will chose Rachel for the role. It took three days for him to confirm, audition and close the role of MJ, considering how enthusiastic Rachel was with wanting the role.

Apart from the crew, the costumes and the set were also selected and finalised by Will, considering how he wanted things to go faster. One morning, over coffee, he was talking with Jeffrey and the other crew members, they were going through every scene slowly and with the intention of covering up each moment of them.

September 13th, 2012.

It was finally the day when the premier of [The Terminator] was being held. After weeks of editing, completing sound, and being done with the movie, it was finally ready to be released in the eyes of the general public.

Before that, the premiere day came when actors and actresses from the crew got to watch the movie first. It was considered a huge event with lots of paparazzi, reporters and people holding cameras with flashlights continuously going on and off.

Nevertheless, these sorts of events were pretty normal for actors and actresses who had sacrificed months of their lives for a single movie.

Sitting in the car were Will and June. Outside, it was visible how so many people were standing in front of the main entrance, just to get pictures, ask questions and know more about the premier or their life, with devices which might save or ruin lives for the day.

June looked nervous for a few seconds. It was her very first premier where she went in as a lead. Thousands of questions hushed her brain and kept making things worse for her —- she was more worried about how people would take her character and how she performed.

“Hey, it’s alright. It will be alright,” Will said, taking her hand in his.

June turned to look at him from the window, where she kept gazing the whole time.
