Chapter 75:

Early in the morning, Will slowly opened his eyes, rubbed them and sat upon the bed.

Turning his head, he glanced at the peacefully sleeping June.

They had a great date last night, roamed the city, had a sumptuous dinner, and had a good time in bed together.

They were much closer now than they were ever before.

Over time, Will was sure their relationship would mend. Although, yes, he did agree with what June said to him last night.

Both of them had progressed very fast, but Will didn’t have any issues with this. What mattered to him more was their happiness, and this was why he was there with her for a long time.

In the ever-changing currents of the showbiz industry, it’s not easy to maintain a low profile trustworthy, secure relationship, and both of them didn’t wish for the worst to happen.

After all, a relationship happens with trust and belief. They trusted each other and believed in themselves to not create an untieable knot in this relationship.

Drinking a full glass of water, Will went to freshen up.

June had also woken up by the time he came out and changed his clothes.

“Good morning,” She whispered, still cuddled on the bed.

Will moved and sat beside, “Good morning, you should get up now; it’s already past 8.”

“Hm... let me sleep a bit more.” June closed her eyes and cuddled a bit more.

Will shook his head with a smile and added, “Well, I will have to leave soon. They are working on [Sherlock Holmes] movie themes, and I want to see everything to the end. Also, the [17 Again] should also be coming out soon; gotta prepare for that too.”

June smiled, “Don’t forget me in all this.”

Will pecked on her forehead, “As if.”

June narrowed her eyes, “You think you will get away just with this?”

A few hours later, Will entered his office.

The next few months were going to be very busy because two movies he is associated with are going to be released, back to back.

First, [17 Again] will be released very soon, and then, after a few months, [Sherlock Holmes] will be released.

Right now, the post-production will begin, with Jeffrey’s wife, Emilia, leading the editing of the movie. After working together on [The Blair Witch Project], he trusted her style a lot.

For this project, she even had a team assigned to her by Foxstar as the scale of the movie was way higher than a camcorder horror movie.

This also meant that the soundtrack of the movie needed to be added. They had already decided on one, and it was by a female composer called Tracy Connolly. She used the initials TC as her stage name.

[The biggest gamble in Hollywood feat Will Evans, Micheal Robert Elrod and a franchise that could be a dream.]

Just yesterday, Foxstar revealed arguably the most awaited of their releases this year. [Sherlock Holmes] – a movie that is a bad stigma for every moviegoer in the 90s now being revamped with a high budget of 80 million dollars.

After the announcement of this, Holmes fans went wild, anticipating the movie’s release they never thought they would get. Every studio in Hollywood knew the franchise level. In the last decade, no one was courageous enough to take up the topic of what it could become.

Then came a wonder boy, Will Evans. Someone who made 200 million dollars out of almost nothing. An innovative movie that broke norms and gave rise to a flurry of young filmmakers wanting to do the same.

But after the wondrous start, the time came for his second project, and he took a gamble. He betted literally every penny he earned from his first movie into a project that might really break or make his career.

On top of it, he amassed a group of actors that could easily pull a crowd to any movie—especially Ewan Rees, someone who’s the pickiest in choosing a project in Hollywood.

But it didn’t end here.

Apparently, the lead of the movie. The actor playing the lead is an unknown guy, Micheal Robert Elrod. Will liked him and was a fan of his acting in short roles he had in his career which gave him the iconic role.

It is almost baffling that Foxstar was okay with this.

Maybe they weren’t, but they saw the same thing the young director did in the unknown guy—some kind of spark – something that only directors can see.

Anyway, in any case, it’s a gamble, and maybe, it’s the biggest gamble seen in Hollywood in the last decade.

Blockbuster or bankruptcy – There’s no middle ground for Will Evans from here!

After this article was released, it was read by over a million people in just a day. After knowing that Will had spent every bit of penny on this project and had gotten an unknown actor to play Holmes, people were baffled and confused; some even found it funny.

This was never seen before, and it had come from a director who was far from graduating film school last year.

But whatever it was, people were indeed curious.

That’s what Foxstar and Will were aiming for. Will the movie really work? Or it’s curtains down on Will’s career.

Those questions were in every movie fan’s mind, and every day, they just increased.
