Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 318 Winona Takes the Initiative
West Hollywood.

In the early morning, Aaron Anderson, lying in bed, let out a long sigh after a soft "hum" in his sleep!

After a while, Winona Ryder crawled out of the covers, lay on the man's chest, breathing heavily, her rosy face covered in sweat.

As he caressed the woman's smooth, white body, Aaron's lips curled into a smile. "Darling, you've been much more proactive these past few days!"

“Hmm, isn’t this what you like?” Winona Reid said, pinching the man’s chest.

Aaron patted the girl on the shoulder. "If anything happens in the future, be sure to let me know. Don't keep it to yourself and get depressed."

If I remember correctly, Winona Ryder was caught shoplifting in a shopping mall and was prosecuted, which brought her acting career to a standstill.
This is a real shame. Winona Ryder is known as the "Hollywood Elf," and her acting skills are truly excellent!

"understood……"

With the Golden Globe nominations announced, Dawn's "Forrest Gump," "Legends of the Fall," and "Pulp Fiction" have all been nominated for Best Motion Picture – Drama.
In particular, the highly anticipated "Forrest Gump" and "Pulp Fiction" are leading the Golden Globe Awards with 7 and 6 nominations respectively!

It was only after Aaron had consistently praised "The Shawshank Redemption" that it won three awards: Best Actor in a Drama Series, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Score.

At the Golden Globe nomination banquet at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, Aaron and Dawn Steele discussed the script "Twister"!
"Is Jane de Bont interested in directing?"

Aaron took a sip of his drink. "He just directed 'Con Air' starring Tom Cruise. Doesn't he need a break?"

Dawn Steele smiled and shook his head. "He wants to direct a special effects blockbuster, and the budget will be quite high this time."

"Perhaps Jane de Bont also wants to complete her three-film directorial contract with Dawn as soon as possible."

Jane de Bont's debut film, Speed, made him an instant star, and this year he directed the $6000 million blockbuster Con Air, starring Tom Cruise.
Now, the other party wants to direct the special effects blockbuster "Twister"?

"How much budget do you want?"

"More than $9000 million!"

Aaron smiled. "No wonder. It's understandable, considering he's already directed 'Speed' and 'Con Air'."

Speed, with a production cost of $3300 million, grossed $3.5 million worldwide, which was enough to give Jane de Bont something to think about.

Dawn Steele nodded; she also supported Jane de Bont directing.

"Twister is scheduled to be released the year after next, so it probably won't make it into the summer blockbuster season. Instead, it will be released during the Christmas season!"

“Alright, let Jane de Bont get things started on this project as soon as possible,” Aaron was indeed not too worried about investing in a special effects blockbuster;

Fortunately, Roland Emmerich's "Independence Day" had a budget of $7500 million.

"I'm getting more and more excited for next year!"

Directed by Jane de Bont and starring Tom Cruise, "Con Air";
Seven, directed by David Fincher and starring Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt;
Directed by Jonathan Demme and starring Anthony Hopkins, Nicolas Cage, and Ralph Fiennes, The Silence of the Lambs: Red Dragon.
Michael Bay's "Bad Boys" starring Will Smith, and Ang Lee's "Sense and Sensibility" starring Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant;
These are all works by famous directors and future famous directors in collaboration with big stars!
"By the way, what's the progress of 'Men in Black' production?"

Aaron pays close attention to projects like these special effects blockbusters. "The script has been adapted, and Barry Sonnenfeld has been chosen as the director."

“Barry Sonnenfeld, director of the Addams Family series,” Aaron thought for a moment, “Gothic style, indeed, he’s quite suitable.”

The Addams Family is a dark gothic fantasy comedy!

Dawn Steele shrugged. "Barry Sonnenfeld is filming the MGM dark comedy 'Shorty's Way' later this year."

"The male lead is John Travolta, and filming is still ongoing. The Men in Black project will not be officially in preparation until at least the second half of next year."

The release of Pulp Fiction this year has indeed brought John Travolta's career back to its peak.

The casting of John Travolta as the lead in "Shorty" was perfectly justifiable.

"Also, for the male lead of 'Broken Arrow,' we also chose John Travolta. Do you have any suggestions for the other lead actor?"

Dawn Steele inquired.

Aaron shook his head. "You can just find someone suitable. What do you think of Nicolas Cage?"

“Nicolas Cage? I doubt he’s available,” Dawn Steele chuckled.
"After filming our prequel, *The Silence of the Lambs: Red Dragon*, he took on another art film, *Leaving Las Vegas*."

"It is based on the autobiographical novel of the same name by screenwriter John O'Brien, who committed suicide in April of this year after the adaptation rights were sold."

Aaron touched his chin. "Leaving Las Vegas," wasn't that the movie that won Nicolas Cage the Oscar for Best Actor?
"Uh, is this 'Escape from Las Vegas' filming now?"

"Yes, filming has been going on for almost a month now. It's estimated that filming will wrap up in February next year and it will be released at the end of the year. It's a low-budget art film!"

“I see. Then Nicolas Cage is indeed unavailable,” Aaron said with a hint of regret that he wouldn’t be able to witness the showdown between Nicolas Cage and John Travolta.

Because "Broken Arrow" will start filming in January next year, Dawn has candidates for the role, but they have not yet been finalized.

"Currently, we are in contact with male stars such as Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves, Christian Slater, and Val Kilmer;"

"We have high hopes for Val Kilmer. He starred in 'Batman Forever' this year, but he also has a script for 'Heat' coming up."

"Heat is a crime thriller, and the two male leads are two Oscar-winning actors, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro!"

Dawn Steele's meaning was clear: it would be difficult for the other party to refuse this opportunity to work with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.

Although Broken Arrow is also an action film with a budget of $5000 million, it is definitely inferior to Heat.

Aaron pursed his lips. "Let's continue communicating with the other candidates!"

The release date for "Broken Arrow" has been set, so filming has to start as planned.
