Hollywood What If Chapter 336
Oher hand, Kazir knew he wouldn't agree to direct Saw because he was busy with two projects at the same time.
Pirates of the Caribbean had just started shooting, while Game of Thrones was in the process of casting and auditioning.
He could not bance his schedule to film another projebsp;
Also, the first Saw movie only had a 1 million budget. It was impossible to hire someone as expensive as Kazir unless Lionsgate was willing to put a lot oable.
'In fact, Saw is one of the movies I thought about filming when I came ba 1994. In the end, I decided to do Napoleon Dynamite instead.'
Perhaps his ck of fiden making horror movies was one of the reasons he didn't choose Saw. Kazir was afraid of failure.
Also one of the reasons why he didn't submit the script of Saw to the Writer's Guild. Just like he didn't sell the scripts for Final Destination... Because Kazir was afraid of failure.
He was silent for a while after thinking about it. After almost a decade of time travel, Kazir lost his touaking horror movies. He was fortable making a and edy movies, and he had no problem maintaining the status quo.
'If Lionsgate wants to hire me, they have to e up with something that will get my attention. Besides, I will be doing Spider-Man 2 year, so they will have to wait for 2005 instead.'
The bodyguard interviews were over and Kazir hired the guy who caught his attention the most. All the bodyguards lied for the job were qualified, but Kazir only chose one.
In the end, he hired Anderson Sullivan. He was a retired soldier like Erica. He was 49 years old. He had spent 8 years in the Gulf War. Amazingly, Anderson also participated ier years of the Vietnam War, around the 1970s.
The reason Kazir hired Anderson was because of his appearance. Anderson looked simple ale. Anderson was 5'7" while Kazir was 6'3".
Anderson seemed like a good guy pared to Kazir who was taller and bulkier. The reason Kazir hired him was because he didn't want his bodyguard to be the ter of attention. A bodyguard's job was to protect his boss, not to attract people's attention. They were supposed to act low and keep a low profile.
But Anderson was good at his job. After retiring from the military due to gunshot wounds, Anderson began w for a security pany, and his work ethic was highly respected.
Kazir sidered him a small but dangerous guy... To be fair, 5'7" was not short, but Kazir was just too tall to uand that.
Shout out to all the short kings out there. Keep grinding.
Unlike Erica who had free time and days off, Anderson had a strict schedule where he had to protect Kazir whenever he was out. Kazir was not a cheap guy and made sure his bodyguard had a high sary and bes.

...
The studio was busy as usual. The pce was covered ihat could blind people and turn their pupils to the creen.
In the middle of the studio, a pirate ship was beily shaken by maes to simute the movement of the ship sailing in the o.
The background was green, with some lights pointing at the actors and cameras in different areas and angles.
The crew members were a bit fused by the friendly middle-aged man standio Kazir. Apparently, he was a newly hired bodyguard.
Kazir was unfortable too, but he decided to get used to it. If he wao maintain his safety, then hiring a professional bodyguard was a must.
He looked at the monitors ahat something was strange.
"... Cut!"
Kazir decided to take a break.
There was something about the se that didn't sit right with him.
'What is it?'
He asked himself.
"Kazir, is there something wrong with my performance?"
Johnny Depp approached Kazir in his pirate e. He walked tipsy as if he were drunk, still ag like Jack Sparrow even though the camera had stopped rolling.
"Nothing, I just feel like something is missing."
Kazir knew he had not made a mistake in hiring Johnny Depp. The actor easily absorbed the essence of Jack Sparrow. The filmi well, but when they reached the pirate ship ses, Kazir felt that something was wrong.
He decided to check the ship aered it. Ohiiced was that the ship was shaking slightly and he could not find his banbsp;
"That's it!"
His face lit up as he turo find Johnny Depp. The actor was getting his makeup retouched when Kazir appeared.
"John, I want you to go steady on the ship."
"I'm sorry, what?"
The actor didn't uand at first.
"You see, Jack Sparrow walks like a drunkard when he walks on nd. But he walk straight when he is on the ship. It shows that Jack Sparrow is an experienced pirate and that he has spent most of his life as a pirate rather than on nd."
"I see..." Johnny Depp admitted that Kazir's take was iing.
"This is how I portray Jack Sparrow. you do it?" Kazir asked.
Johnny Depp chuckled.
"Kazir, I am an actor and my job is to act. If I have to walk steady while the ship is rog, then I have to, because that's my job. Of course I do it."
After that, they shot the se again, and Kazir nodded in satisfa. However, they had to redo the se three times because it was really hard for Johno keep his bance while the ship was rog.
In the end, Kazir decided to weaken the maery to make it easier for Johno adjust.
'Johnny Depp is Jack Sparrow, it's a role for him. And I will make sure that he shines iheater in his pirate e. Until people start reizing him as Jack Sparrow instead of his real name.'
