Starry Eyes Page #4

- ...this is your moment.

- Oh, man.

- I don't know what this is.

- Jesus Christ, can we not watch another one.

- Wait, wait, just...

- Do you know who wrote this?

Watch what he does.

I'm not trying to be rude

but this is f***ing stupid.

Oh, yeah.

That guy rocks.

Do you know how many times I've

wanted to do that? It's crazy.

Wow.

- That's right, you have that thing.

- What thing?

She's got a meeting with the producer.

- At Astreus?

- Yeah.

I told you you'd get it.

Don't you think

you're a little overdressed?

- This? This is nothing.

- It's a little much.

Look, you look amazing.

Go kick some ass.

Just remember to be yourself in here.

Sarah,

- thank you for coming.

- Thank you for having me.

You're just as beautiful in person

as you are on the audition tapes.

Thank you. I didn't realize

I was being taped.

Well, I am excited, Sarah.

We audition a lot of

young women in this building

but very, very few ever

make it to this room.

Wow, that's great.

Yes, we've had our share of winners,

some pretty big names have

passed right through here,

going way back.

So, did you like our little yarn?

Absolutely, I loved it.

I read it three times.

Good. I have high hopes

for this picture.

Yes. It's kind of my love letter

to this town.

Ambition, the blackest of human desires.

Everyone has it. But how many act on it?

That's what intrigues me.

That's what lights me up as they say.

There's something primal there

and that's why you're sitting

right here in this room.

- But I mean, it's a horror movie as well.

- Of course.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

This industry is a plague Sarah,

a plague of unoriginality,

hollow be thy name, shallow be thy name.

Yes, it's a plague alright.

And what does every

plague have a lot of?

- Rats?

- Precisely.

Yes, thousands of them,

hungry little rats,

hungry for the cheese.

You cut through the fog of this town

and you get desperation,

plastic parishioners worshiping

their deity of debauchery.

But that's what I find

interesting, Sarah.

That's what I want

to capture in this film,

the ugliness of the human spirit.

Yeah, okay, I mean, I can see that.

So why do you do it, darling?

Why, why do I do what?

Why do you pull your beautiful hair out?

I... It's just a habit.

I started doing it

when I was a little girl and...

it helps me focus on the moment.

The moment.

- Well, this is a moment.

- Yes, yes it is.

The role of Celeste is a really big deal

for a young actress with no

other credits to her name.

Your face will be on the poster.

The poster on a wall,

a wall in the lobby,

a lobby of a movie theater,

a theater with a marquee,

The Silver Scream.
