"Yes since Warner Bros. think that I can't support a movie like this then I will have to prove them wrong." Rowan said with a spark in his eyes
Mary shook her head in exasperation as she knew that no matter what she said Rowan would not back out from this project anymore because now it was about his ego and after all he has done there is no way that he would let someone step on him like this.
"I will send the money and a producer from my company to you for managing the production of the movie" Rowan stated
"Thank you Mr Rowan for trusting us we had to stop the audition for the female lead because of this so we will start it again." Larry stated
"Hmm... haven't cast been selected" Rowan asked
"Yes, except the female lead all the other cast has been selected. Actually we did have someone for the female lead but she rejected it after Keanu backed out so we needed to do the audition for it." Andy explained
"If you know someone then you can recommend her to us, it would be good if we can select the female lead and start the training because except for you everyone else will need to train for months before we can start shooting." Larry stated
Rowan thought for a minute then suggested two actresses, "You can try and see if Jennifer Connelly or Charlize Theron are good for the role."
Hmm... Yes both of them are tall and sexy nad would match quite well with you" Andy nodded his head.
" I am just suggesting if you think someone else is better then you can choose them." Rowan stated as he didn't want to create trouble for the two brothers afterall they chose him over Warner Bros which isn't something quite easy.
The four of them talked for another half an hour before ending the meeting.
After the Wachowski Brothers left Mary couldn't help but shake her head, "There is something wrong with the head of these two. Who chooses an actor over Warner Bros?"
"Someone with different balrain cells thats for sure. Even if they know about my net worth which is highly unlikely
"Ok, since everyone has already met once we will start shooting in an hour, while Zack is making sure everything is ok, the actors should get their make-up done" Rowan said and the crew started working.
Rowan talked with the cameraman exactly where he needs the camera and the angle while he waited for the actors.

[FITTS HOUSE RICKY'S BEDROOM NIGHT
On VIDEO: Jane Burnham (Jessica Alba) lays in bed, wearing a tank top.
She's sixteen, with dark, intense eyes.
JANE "I need a father who's a role model, not some horny geekboy who's gonna spray his shorts whenever I bring a girlfriend home from school. (snorts) What a lameo. Somebody really should put him out of his misery."
Her mind wanders for a beat.
RICKY (O.C.) "Want me to kill him for you?"
Jane looks at the camera and sits up.
JANE (deadpan)
"Yeah, would you?"]
"Cut" Rowan called and looked at the screen then stated "Jessica the disdain you have needs to a little more clear, the audience need to be able to feel it."
Rowan has already watched the whole movie through a third party perspective and knew exactly what he needed to shoot and it was easy for him to help the actors s to what they were missing he didn't need to be vague about something is missing but not knowing what's that something.
The next scene was from BURNHAM HOUSE and Kevin's introductory scene which he handled perfectly the next scene was Carolyn Burnham or Annette Benning's first scene.
Carolyn Burnham tends her rose bushes in front of the Burnham house. A very wellput together woman of forty, she wears colorcoordinated gardening togs and has lots of useful and expensive tools. Lester watches her through a WINDOW on the first floor, peeping out through the drapes.
[LESTER (V.O.) "That's my wife Carolyn. See the way the handle on those pruning shears matches her gardening clogs? That's not an accident."]
Slowly the first scenes of everyone were done which weren't hard and at most 3 takes were needed to complete the scene. The Gay Couple Jim Polymer and Jim Berkley's scene with Carolyn was filmed
[CAROLYN
"Good morning, Jim!"
Jim #1 walks toward the fence to greet Carolyn.
JIM #1
"Morning, Carolyn."
CAROLYN
(overly friendly)
"I just love your tie! That color!"
JIM #1 "I just love your roses. How do you get them to flourish like this?"
CAROLYN "Well, I'll tell you. Egg shells and Miracle Grow."
Jim #1 and Carolyn continue to chat, unaware that Lester is watching them.
LESTER (V.O.) Man. I get exhausted just watching her..She wasn't always like this. She used to be happy. We used to be happy."]
"Okay, this one is good" Rowan said after looking at screen. "Let's take a break then we will start with next scene"
As the crew started to move the equipments for the next scene, Rowan sat on his seat talking with Zack Snyder when Jessica came over.
"Director Rowan, there is something I want to ask you " Jessica said as she stood beside Rowan and Zack.
Zack looked at Jessica than said to goodbye to Rowan and left so that they could talk.
"Sit and tell me what's troubling you Jessica" Rowan stated
"I can't understand Jane Burnham's mindset why would she has so much angst and frustration" Jessica Alba said
"That's what a typical teenage girl goes through Jessica, of course because you are beautiful you didn't have to go through it so maybe you are confused by it." Rowan stated
"Ah, I don't think I am that beautiful " Jessica shyly replied
"No you are and you need to accept the text that many times your beauty may come in the way of your acting. As you know for beautiful actors or actresses it's harder to get their acting recognised by critics and the Academy." Rowan stated
"Yes I know that's why I want to do my best work whenever I get a chance" Jessica said with enthusiasm.
The two of them continued to talk until the next scene started, which was Kevin Spacey in his office
[Lester sits at his workstation, a beige cubicle surrounded by identical beige cubicles. He's staring at a computer monitor and talking on a headset phone. The beleaguered expression on his face is at odds with the light, friendly tone of his voice.
LESTER "Hello, this is Lester Burnham from Media Monthly magazine, I'm calling for Mr. Tamblin, please?... Well, we're all under a deadline here, uh, but you see, there is some basic information about the product launch that isn't even covered in your press release and I... Yeah. Can I ask you a question? Who is Tamblin? Does he exist? 'Cause he doesn't ever seem to come in... Yeah, okay, I'll leave my number..."
Brad, a dapper man in his thirties, approaches and observes Lester, who is unaware of his presence.
LESTER (CONT'D) "It's 555 0199. Lester Burnham. Thank you!"
Lester disconnects the call, obviously irritated.
BRAD "Hey Les. You got a minute?"
Lester turns around, smiling perfunctorily
LESTER
"For you, Brad? I've got five."]
