Hollywood What If Chapter 231
"Okay, this se is over!"
The shooting was done and Liam Neeson wiped his sweat. He admitted that w with Kazir and being an a star had ged the course of his career.
Before Taken, Liam Neeson focused more on drama. But now he was io do a lot of aovies. Most retly, he appeared in Star Wars as a Jedi Master.
"Good job."
"Yeah."
Matt Damon gratuted Liam Neeson and the old man nodded. o them stood Viggo Mortensen.
The three protagonists took a month off from their schedules/jobs to participate in the shooting of Wanted, which was in Marormally, it took at least two months to finish their ses, but Kazir was a different kind of director.
They finished most of their ses already. After that, Viggo Mortensen would return to New Zeand to shoot Lord of the Rings. paring the filming of Lord Of The Rings and Wanted was something that Viggo thought about so many times.
Unlike Lord of the Rings aer Ja's filmography, Kazir Grey was a fast perfeist. He could get a perfect shot in just a few takes. Kazir also had a good influen his cast.
The atmosphere o was very rexed, very different from the usual filming vibes.
In Lord of the Rings, Viggo had to wear thick clothes before shooting. And he had to wear them almost 10 hours a day, it was tiring and sweaty.
"Something is strange... I know Kazir's projects are usually peaceful, but there's something different about this one." Matt Damon muttered.
"I agree, I 't put my finger on the reason, but the atmosphere on the Wanted set is quite carefree. I had 10 NG's yesterday and Kazir didn't even frown or show any anger." Viggo Mortensen added.
Even though Kazir was a quiet person, he would still talk to the actor ohey reached the threshold of 10 NGs.
"It seems you are still young. Look over there."
Liam Neeson pointed in a certain dire and found Kazir talking to Angelina. They were smiling, Angelina giggled pyfully and patted Kazir's shoulder.
"So you mean... That's the reason?" Matt asked. He hadn't expected this situation. Last year, Kazir had been dating Cameron Diaz.
"I think so. Whatever it is, Kazir and Angelina are fine. I'm not sure if they really love each other, but their retionship is definitely good news for both of them. They have been smiling a lot tely."
As the eldest of the trio, Liam Neeson had a better uanding.
"But... I heard Angelina's a sex addict." Viggo muttered weakly. This rumor was almost everywhere and it could be true or false. Angelina Jolie was known to be a sex addict. Some of her exes firmed it.
"Whatever it is, Kazir defiame her."
The three khe importance of this movie. The oute of this movie would be the result of three years of hard work that Grey Pictures had put into this massive projebsp;
Kazir and Grey Pictures were risking their future just to realize this eous pn that could be good or bad. Nobody khe future.
The three actot a career boost after w with Kazir. They were grateful for it. So they wahe movie to be successful.
Besides, their tracts were not over yet. So if this tial ematiiverse was a success, it means they have secure projects to work with when they reach the bottom of their careers. It also gives them more leverage to iate with the pany because their roles are important.
In a way, the future of the tial ematiiverse was their future. Heck, even though their s time in this movie was only 10 mihe tract already stated that they would earn 4 to 9 million dolrs. Liam Neeson, of course, had the highest sary of the three.

Waarted shooting in January and finished in April. Four months of filming. That was very fast by Hollywood standards. However, if you pare it to Hong Kong movies, the filming of Wanted was already long.
Usually Hong Kong movies finish shooting in a month or two. It was amazing, but definitely a difficult thing to do.
The ws betweewo tries were different, and the cast and crew of Wanted needed rest to keep going.
And even if Wanted finished shooting in two months, they still had to wait for Industrial Light & Magic to finish the special effects ses.
The good thing was that four months was enough for Industrial Light & Magic to finish all the ses, so Kazir Grey immediately started post-produ on the film. They didn't need any heavy special effects in the first pce, so Industrial Light & Magic was in good hands.
Just like that, the summer schedule officially happened.
May started with a bang with the release of Gdiator, distributed by DreamWorks. DreamWorks hired Ridley Scott, the director of Alien, to direct the movie. They cast Russell Crowe as the film's protagonist.
As everyone expected, DreamWorks used their distribution el. That was the reasoarted DreamWorks in the first pce. The Big Six used their position to trol the industry through their distribution els.
Unfortunately, DreamWorks only had a North Ameri distribution el. An iional distribution el was a near-impossible dream to achieve in the short term. It takes years of accumution, just like the Big Six aro Goldwyn Mayer did.
Sieven Spielberg had a good retionship with Universal Pictures because they worked together on Jurassic Park, the iional distribution of Gdiator was taken over by Universal Pictures.
The first week of Gdiatrossed over 49 million at the box office. It was an amazing achievement. But DreamWorks could not rest easy.
Because the anticipated edy of the year would be released week. Napoleon Dynamite III will be released on May 11th. Obviously, the two movies would have a rivalry to get the most tickets.
