Hollywood What If-Chapter 419
Chapter 419
Katie Holmes was the leading lady in Batman Begins as Rachel Dawes. Actually, this character was an original character that first appeared in the Dark Knight Trilogy. She was not based on a comic character. She was a new character created for the Dark Knight Trilogy.
Usually, Batman's common love interests were Vicki Vale, Talia Al Ghul, Zatanna, Catwoman, and even Harley Quinn... Yeah, Harley Davidson had a complicated relationship with Batsy.
But in this case, for the first and intended second movie, Rachel Dawes was the leading lady.
In the original timeline, Rachel Dawes was played by Katie Holmes.
However, because of conflicting schedules and personal reasons, Katie Holmes didn't reprise her role as Rachel Dawes in The Dark Knight. She decided to work on a comedy movie called Mad Money instead.
This caused a problem since Katie Holmes had already solidified her role in the first movie.
But Warner Brothers and Christopher Nolan gritted their teeth and chose a new actress to be Rachel Dawes.
In the second movie, Maggie Gyllenhaal became Rachel Dawes. That was also the movie where Rachel Dawes tragically died.
Kazir was not stupid enough to repeat that mistake.
Even now, Warner Brothers and casting directors were looking for actresses who could take the role of Rachel Dawes.
Some of them even recommended Katie Holmes, which Kazir was against. If they gave the role to Katie Holmes again, history might repeat itself.
Since Scarlett asked for help, Kazir decided to help her. The two knew each other, and they had the same agent. The role of Rachel Dawes would be in safe hands if Scarlett took the role.
"You only have one month to prepare for the role. I'm sure you can do it. You don't have to worry about the first and second rounds. With me as your backer, you're automatically joining the last round of auditions."
"Thanks, Kazir." Scarlett sincerely smiled.
"You don't have to thank me. At the end of the day, if your performance can't convince me and the panel of jusges, then it's useless."
Rachel Dawes had an important role, both for Batman and Two-Face. Kazir wouldn't easily give it to some actress who didn't have the capability to carry the role.
"I will work hard then."
The two continued their exercises, and the gym slowly filled with more people.
"H- Hey, look at that hunk. So tall and handsome."
"You don't know him? I guess you're new to this gym. That's Director Kazir Grey! He directed Wanted, Spider-Man, and Pirates of the Caribbean! He's been a member of our gym for a long time."
"Really!? Oh my God! I love his movies!"
The women started gossiping around Kazir. They were looking at him with motives.
Scarlett was speechless. She even saw a woman who wrote her number on a card to give it to Kazir.
This gym was in Los Angeles, and Los Angeles had a lot of gorgeous actresses who were trying to get lucky. It was nothing new that Kazir loved spending time in this gym, he probably met some small-time actresses who tried to seduce him in the hopes of getting famous. Someone even flashed her tits as a greeting.
Scarlett couldn't help but be irritated by their giggles and murmurs, despite wearing headphones. She couldn't focus on her set. She dropped her dumbbells and approached Kazir, who wiped his abs, unintentionally showing his six-pack.
"..."
Scarlett paused for a second before getting closer. She put down her headphones and talked to him.
"I'll treat you to breakfast."
"Hm?"
"I said I'll treat you to breakfast."
"I know, I heard you. But why?"
"Isn't it obvious? You're going to help me get a project. Of course, I have to return the favor at least."
"Nah, I'm fine. There's a McDonald's a minute from here. I'm going to eat there."
"McDonald's?" Scarlett frowned.
Being an actress, Scarlett had to maintain her figure. She couldn't eat food that had too many calories. Most of the time, she ate salad and water.
This was the price of becoming an actress. She couldn't get fat because it could change her facial features.
McDonald's was one of the restaurants she rarely visited because their food had so many calories.
However...
'I miss eating burgers,' she bit her lip.
No matter what, burgers are delicious. She wanted to eat at least one burger.
'I burned some calories today, so I'm allowed to eat one. That's right, I deserve to eat a burger because I worked hard!'
She was making excuses...
She glanced at Kazir, who was sweating. She understood why many women were attracted to him. Kazir could pass as an actor.
"Okay, let's eat at McDonald's. My treat."
"Are you sure? You're going to be fat-- Okay, okay, let's eat."
Kazir stopped mid-sentence when he saw Scarlett's scary glare.
Weight was a dangerous topic for women. Kazir was not ready to step into that boundary. Even his exes were like monsters whenever he talked about their weight. frёeωebɳovel.com
"Let me take a shower first."
"It's fine, you smell good."
"Huh? Hey, don't pull me like that. I need to change my shirt, okay."
Scarlett couldn't stand the place, because so many thirsty bitches were around.
And as expected, one of the bitches made a move.
"Hello, Sir, I'm Nadia Lopez. I'm an actress who starred in a stage play on Broadway. My vital statistics are 36-24-37. This is my number. You can call me anytime--"
"Sorry, we don't talk to nobody."
Scarlett interrupted and slapped away the contact number. The two left the gym to eat at McDonald's.
"I thought you had a bodyguard?"
"Everyone deserves a day off. Besides, I'm just going to the gym, it's a small matter." Kazir explained while eating a cheeseburger.
As for Scarlett, she had just finished her burger, and she couldn't help but look at Kazir's fries.
"Here, take it. A burger is not enough for breakfast. You should eat more."
"... Thanks." She blushed at that small gesture.
