  A knock awakened him, the sounds and the suling high above, while the chapel-like atmosphere illumihe view was beautiful; somehow, he had slept peacefully as if angels had sung overhead, and the sheets smelled of vender.

  Spreading his suit over the table, he gave a slight sigh. There was a skeleton on his shoulders, thick by stitution, not by exercise; there was much to touch up. The knocks tinued as he hurried to make his way around the apartment. Oerrace, Monica was there, with an espresso cup oable, along with Neapolitan toast and some basil. In the middle, a rge jug of water with partially melted id drops that dripped down, moistening the wood. Her hair was wet and spread in the air, paying no more attention to the sun climbing the m.

  -Yuards are very punctual; they've been here sinine, even though you gave them the day off, they've been sending messages, - Monieaking a quick, discreet but deep look at Billy. From the way everything unfolded, she uood very well that Monica's mysterious image, her ess, was like a painting, a vas beh which took the profile of a woman, her sagacity, fidence, and charm entirely different from any other woman known. Not the passivity of Alior the brute enter with Gwyh. Even if he didn't make a promise not to be with a woman, friendship could be seen as a muse that feels in the air as alien and distant as a deafening part that runs aground in a foggy harbor, which is unknown. It's intriguing.

  Seeing Monica Bellucci, having her in any of his films, would give entrao the European se, as long as she is willing to make her debut, and there is a movie she be perfect for without extra costs. She's perfect to represent the character he desires.

  -How good are you with dubbing? - Billy asked, approag Monica, his bck eyebrows delicately raised.

  -It's fantastic, but I don't have the headspace to face a new film in this timeframe. After Forrest Gump, I don't have much headspace for another role, and the script doesn't vince me, although I want to honor the itment I made with Cameron Crowe, it just es too te, - Tom Hanks ented in a meeting with his agent, less than half an hour before the meeting with Cameron himself. Although the distent gave a dark aspect to things, because rejeg people isn't a good thing, especially when opportunities 't be stated, the Oscar winner 't be turned down. It's a milestohat hasn't been achieved since 1939. Perhaps now he's a secrated star, requested by many people, but after such a deep focus, he's pletely exhausted.

  -We take some time, Tom; there's nothing to worry about. We'll always see one film a year, and from there, we'll do what's possible with our schedule, - Johnny Grupier, Tom Hanks's sedary agent, who is the closest tad is usually defined as an assistant, ented. Siom won in 1993, he has been w tirelessly.

  -Thank you, but I must say that Cameron is someone I've known for a long time. I gave my word, and breaking it is not something I like, - Tom said.

  -We help with the iment. The word is out that Billy Carson is ied in the script, and Jim Wait has spoken with Cameron several times, but they've only exged minor words. As we know, you are the dition clouding their iation, - Johnny ented.

  -It must go well! The hat it's the guy who's behind it only hints at a part that he doesn't know. -

  Tom Hanks's profile is somewhat more mature, from his promi forehead to his captivating eyes, a greenish tohat shows a deep sympathy for the people in his circle, along with his growing ge to a much rounder face, and his appearance of a good family man. It's very tradictory to reject this man who, in one way or another, ot be seen as wrong. For some time now, the meeting they have with Cameron has been pgued by tradis that be exacerbated by the many mistakes that have dictated today's meeting. Five years ago, they both promised to work together, but as they did their work and time passed, Tom Hanks's success grew, and the profit of the st two years is something that could not have beeed... so the iation is different.

  For some time now, things have started to be pletely different. Now, Tom Hanks wants to only do films chosen by him, good films that carry meaning. He only wishes to be part of great movies that have signifit meanings, and it's those meanings that are given to people.

  -It 't be possible. I have a new project, and my schedule is already booked. I'm preparing for this script that looks very promising, and due to that itment, I 't accept being part of this work. As a professional, I don't have the preparation for the role, and of course, it es at a bad time, - Tom Hanks ented, without wanting to belittle Cameron. However, the moment he saw him with clear signs of anger, an ahat could reshape, he saw him take a breath, and Tom felt ined to roll his eyes. They're in a pletely different ow. He's just a director, and he's a two-time Oscar winner. He 't be offended by a reje.

  -I see. It's logical... after all, it's been a long time, - Cameron ented, showing some guilt for his dey. But the script was written many times, a dozen times, edited aten, over and ain. It 't be pared, but it's all his fault. Now, somethihought ossible, having a movie with a great actor, would lead him to stardom, and that stardom 't be seen, just like his mistakes have caused an unfortable feeling, lurking, for everything that happened.

  Tom's eyes showed regret.

  -We colborate aime when we have more time, - Tom said.

  July 1.

  Jim Wait sighed inwardly, totally incredulous at how Cameron decided to approach produ, and from there, observed that every time Billy said something, he fulfilled it. The mention that Tom Hanks wouldn't be part of the team for Jerry Maguire, and it's in that form that now they'll follow what they ented on and pressured. Because of the pressure that Billy reended, it doesn't matter now. After the reje of Independence Day, being so abrupt opehe dar, and in the dar is the time he has to make many other films, such as Jerry Maguire, taking long notes and tinuing with his course of a.

  -Thank you for seeing me so quickly, Jim, - Cameron ented.

  -It's no problem. The script is remarkable; I see a lot of potential. From my point of view, if you look at Billy's skills, you'll believe he's the most suitable person, - Jim ented.

  -I've seen his resume; he's made several films and has good reviews, - Cameron ented, who retly had a chat with Anthony Mignelia, who reended him for his skills as a good actor. And he knows beforehand that Anthony is not someone easy, he's demanding with himself and with all his actors, in terms of retionships and ag. He's an incredible and outstanding person.

  -But we have a problem with money. His sary is quite high, and he 't be hired for such a price. The reduced budget we have is not as acceptable as some might think, - Cameron ented.

  -Billy lower that price; he even says he distribute the film and give a minimal distribution fee, something more acceptable... We egotiate the price with a small pertage. In my years of career, I haven't seen a more promising person, and I have faith that if he participates, it would be a success, - Jim Wait ented, opening the way to propose a profit pertage with a payment of one million, along with distribution revehey would win, as distribution in the Uates is friendly to the pany, plus Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
