《My Hollywood System》MHS - Chapter 191
Advertisement
The day when Andrew could finally test the completed costumes and see if there's anything more that should be adjusted, had finally come after weeks of waiting for it.
Andrew was waiting for this day because he had been practising and building his body to ensure he had the perfect figure in front of the camera as Will requested.
And it made him happy knowing it was finally the day where he gets to wear the Spiderman costume himself and choose something that can make his reputation fly in the industry.
Will and Stan Lee were standing in the middle of a studio where the other people were doing the assigned task around them. Everyone was in fact busy with one thing or another.
Many tailors, designers, artists and people who were wanted at the moment were walking here and there. Andrew was inside trying to put on a costume which was made just from– with his measurements and everything.
"I wonder if it would suit him perfectly," Stan Lee said looking at the people in front of him.
"Even if it doesn't fit on the first try, it eventually will," Will said without showing any emotions.
Will had instructed the designers to make several costumes, both from comics and some from his own imagination. With everything he researched and liked, he had instructed them to make a costume based on a ps4 game costume of Spiderman.
For several obvious reasons, he wanted to keep the first movie's costume similar to Sam Raimi's. Will was very open to adding attributes for the costumes going forward — and with time.
"So, what do you think, should we make a natural webbing instead of making a web shooter in the movie?" Will questioned Stan Lee.
The question was something Will had to answer sooner or later. Something he was aware of from his previous world was that in most of the [Spiderman] movies, Peter Parker would always make web-shooters. But in the first movie, Sam Raimi made Peter Parker shoot webs naturally instead of Web shooters.
The original idea of it was from James Cameron who made the [Spiderman] movie during the 90s, but he dropped it, only for it to be picked up by Sam Raimi.
"It's a unique idea indeed, but why are you going with it?" Stan questioned.
"Well, the thing is, I just want the movie version of Spiderman to be a bit different than the comics. You know, if we take the entire concept into practical theory, it makes more sense than thinking that a teenager was able to make web shooters which are really scientific and are built from scratch. So, do you get it?" Will asked, looking at him.

The deal with the web-shooters in the previous world was much deeper than it seemed. Raimi's Spider-Man movies were bold adaptations of the source material, with just enough changes to make the films appealing to general audiences without losing sight of who the character is in Marvel Comics. And one such change was the web-shooters; in the comics, Peter Parker invents mechanical web-shooters to wear on his wrists that can shoot web fluid, thus allowing him to swing around New York City. The web-shooters are unique to Spider-Man and just because he was bit by a radioactive spider, that didn't mean he could also generate his own webs — at least, that wasn't the case until 2002's Spider-Man.
This also explained how things changed all the time during production; sometimes, entire storylines are scrapped, characters are cut or added, and for superhero movies, details were able to be tweaked.
"That sounds realistic, and I like the idea too. I think we should just go with it," Stan muttered.
Within a matter of seconds, Andrew came out from the little changing room, wearing a costume of Spiderman– a red and black costume. He was observing the costume himself while touching here and there in it, and Will and Stan Lee kept looking at him too.
Jeffery walked towards where Will and Stan were, and stood beside them because it was the very first costume that Andrew tried on.
"How do you feel?" Jeffery questioned, earning a chuckle from Andrew.
"I feel great actually, but can't move my arm, left one,"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a woman with a measuring stripe in her collar ran toward him and started asking questions while seeing how tight and why is it– in the costume.
"It looks great on him to be honest, his body shape developed a lot I can say," Will said earning 'yes's from Jeffrey and Stan Lee.
Soon after, Andrew was taken back to the dressing room to try something else. Within thirty minutes— which Will, Stan and Jeffery spent by talking about the ideas on [Spiderman], soon Andrew walked out wearing a blue and red; yet more blue colour spandex.
"How in the hell would I pee wearing this? Trust me when I say, I can hold it for just two more minutes," Andrew said and touched his crotch showing that he needed to use the washroom.
"Remove it, you are wearing something underneath, and run," a tall man with a notebook and a measuring tape said and helped Andrew to get out of the spandex.

"Oh hell, should we do something about it?" Stan questioned, looking confused with what just happened.
It was the second costume out of thirty different types, and he had to attend nature's call within seconds inside it. Stan Lee had the doubt of what if something like this happened during the times of filming. And if so, the entire design might have to adjust, and that too, in thirty more costumes.
Jeffrey looked at Stan and nodded, signalling that he had the same question.
The question amused Will in so many ways. It was how he suddenly remembered an interview where Tobey, Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield bonded, saying 'brotherhood' due to how they all found it hard to do nature's business considering how tight the costume was.
It was mainly because there was no zipper in the costume, but the only way out was to remove the entire costume in one go. Tom Holland even admitted how he had almost peed himself while wearing the costume and the whole situation made it more funny for Will, remembering every one of those incidents.
"Let's talk with the designers, hey!" Will shouted, grabbing the attention of a designer.
"Would it be possible to make a zipper or something, but which should be totally invisible to the cameras. I don't want any mishap in front of the cameras, but also I can't make the actor uncomfortable, so do you have anything in mind?" Will questioned in a single breath.
"I think I can do something about it. Don't worry,"
"Ah! My apologies!" Andrew came walking in again with a huge sigh, yet looked content. "That was a quick call I had to make," He said and stood in front of everyone to show off his costume.
"I feel like this is very flexible but tight as hell," Andrew said while grabbing the attention again.
***
By the next week, the casting crew, including Will, were able to find the other roles that had a space where the actor's name should be included. Nevertheless, Will was able to hire a bunch of actors and actresses who he was satisfied with– and even Stan Lee agreed to.
For the role of Harry, they were able to audition and agree upon Reagon Norris who had played the lead role in [500 Days Of Summer]. Will initially had the thought of how he would fit into the role perfectly in mind, and then the agency was more than happy to make him participate in the audition which made things smooth with the process.
For MJ, Will got Rachel Linden. She was the British actress who Will worked with– from [Sherlock Holmes]. The reason why he selected her was how he understood that she had a good grasp about the role and the understanding she showed with the character. Due to how she looked and how he thought she would make a good MJ, Will chose Rachel for the role. It took three days for him to confirm, audition and close the role of MJ, considering how enthusiastic Rachel was with wanting the role.
Apart from the crew, the costumes and the set were also selected and finalised by Will, considering how he wanted things to go faster. One morning, over coffee, he was talking with Jeffrey and the other crew members, they were going through every scene slowly and with the intention of covering up each moment of them.
….
September 13th, 2012.
It was finally the day when the premier of [The Terminator] was being held. After weeks of editing, completing sound, and being done with the movie, it was finally ready to be released in the eyes of the general public.
Before that, the premiere day came when actors and actresses from the crew got to watch the movie first. It was considered a huge event with lots of paparazzi, reporters and people holding cameras with flashlights continuously going on and off.
Nevertheless, these sorts of events were pretty normal for actors and actresses who had sacrificed months of their lives for a single movie.
Sitting in the car were Will and June. Outside, it was visible how so many people were standing in front of the main entrance, just to get pictures, ask questions and know more about the premier or their life, with devices which might save or ruin lives for the day.
June looked nervous for a few seconds. It was her very first premier where she went in as a lead. Thousands of questions hushed her brain and kept making things worse for her —- she was more worried about how people would take her character and how she performed.
"Hey, it's alright. It will be alright," Will said, taking her hand in his.
June turned to look at him from the window, where she kept gazing the whole time.

Olive the Other Werewolves
"Shift." His voice hit me like a serrated blade as he stepped out of the crude semicircle of hardened wolves that had formed around me. I pushed myself off of the cold floor for what felt like the thousandth time that day, wiping the small trail of blood coming off of my lip and down my chin. "I won't ask you again." My limbs felt like lead, these wolves had been at me for hours trying to get me to shift into my wolf, unbeknown to them was that their efforts would forever be futile considering the fact my wolf wouldn't make an appearance for me even when I begged. I seriously doubted she would suddenly pop up as a result of their abusive tactics. Instead of explaining my circumstances, driven by a bizarre combination of adrenaline and fatigue, I leaned back on my heels and sent the largest loogie I'd ever conjured flying over and landing squarely between the eyes of the man before me. oOoOoOoOoOo As a late bloomer who was incapable of shifting yet, let alone making any contact with her wolf, Olive Ludovic's life was not off to the best start.

When her home is taken over by a dark pack, life seems to only get worse for Olive as it is quickly discovered that her mate is none other than Matteo, the Alpha of the very pack that was terrorizing her people.
