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 soundtrack of [Sherlock Holmes] was very important because it was pretty good in the original. Almost at the level where one can say it’s the soundtrack of [Sherlock Holmes] after playing it.

Will even felt like it was pretty underrated in the original.

To maintain its quality, he went through 9 trial tracks by different composers before deciding this one by TC.

The main reason was that it was a little similar to the original one in the vibes, making listeners excited slowly.

Another thing that they started was beginning the marketing for [Sherlock Holmes]. As it was an adaption from a classic and not an original, Foxstar wanted to create some hype for it at least a month before the release.

That’s why they slowly leaked some set images, especially of Rachel as Irene, Ewan as Lord Blackwood and Levi Richards as Watson. Seeing these huge stars in a movie together, the topic created a buzz among various movie forums.

And just hours after this ‘leak’, Foxstar revealed the title of their next movie. Until now, it was all under wraps, but as soon as it was announced that a new Holmes movie would release in just a month, the public went into a frenzy.

They were getting a Holmes movie after more than a decade! At most, many people wondered if it would even be any good, but the famous actors’ set images were enough to make them hopeful.

It especially reached the top of real-time search rankings on Sparrow, the Twitter of this world.

One of these tweets was by a famous movie critic @CriticCye. Below his tweets about the announcement of [Sherlock Holmes], many people were commenting furiously.

-A new Sherlock movie! Is it an April fool’s joke??

-No, it’s true. There are set photos, and I know Ewan Rees was making his comeback soon, but I never thought it would be a Sherlock movie.

-Oh my god! I still remember the disaster I watched back in my childhood. They ruined Watson hard!

-Just hoping it won’t be as bad as the last one.

-I’m actually excited for this one. Set leaks look fabulous, and it at least seems like it’s London of the old.

-I’m more excited for Rachel. Which role is she playing?

-You all know that this is a huge production. Around 80 million dollars is being spent on just this one film, and Foxstar is really going all out on this one. I hope Hollywood finally gets a well-deserved franchise!

-It’s not Foxstar! You all blind fucks ignored Will Evans as the director? Don’t tell it’s a detective horror?

-Sherlock is going to hunt zombies and fight ghosts in this one? Let’s go!!

-Let me tell you something. My friend working in Foxstar told me that Will Evan’s Dream Vision is fully producing the movie. It doesn’t have any other stockholders, so he’s basically pumping out every bit of money he got from his first movie.

-He sure is confident!

-Who is playing Sherlock, though? Ewan or Levi didn’t look like it.

-Yeah, they have not revealed the lead yet. I guess it’s another big star, and they are going to reveal it in a few hours?

-I can’t wait!!!

Basically, everyone was talking about it. Soon, the media got a sniff of it and started posting articles all over the internet.

Most of the earlier ones just contained the basic information revealed by Foxstar officially and set images.

But there were many important questions still hidden, like who was playing what role? Who was Holmes? Why is Will suddenly directing a Holmes movie? And why had it gambled almost all of his income?

To find the answers, the media started using all sorts of contacts to at least get a little bit of information. In just a day, an article was published in Entertainment weekly.

It had a clickbait title, and it instantly became a hit. The article was as follows.

[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.
