Modes and Filming 101

When Alexander thinks up more on the entire 'Phoenix Reeves through the Depp' ordeal, the more he felt everything that happened seems to fit in place.

River Phoenix is part of Aleka's Attic and a distinguished actor. He is quite the regretful tale though due to the entire Viper room incident and drug overdose. Essentially, he was among the lines of the Joker actor from The Dark Knight.

Johnny Depp is part of the Hollywood Vampires and would be known for playing in eccentric roles with the eccentric director Tim Burton. Of course, his true jump to stardom came with the ultra-popular Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

Keanu Reeves is part of Dogstar and is a well-known leading man due to his future popular works such as Matrix, Speed, and John Wick to name a few.

The trio just happens to be a handsome trio of heartthrobs and also happens to be friends with one another.

At some point in their lives, they would intersect with their passion for music, Hollywood jobs, and good looks.

It just so happens that Alexander's inadvertent meddling with Back to the Future history has changed up things.

Alexander did read up on some news that Johnny Depp applied for the part with Ben Stiller and some other popular guys. He just didn't think that Keanu and River would take part in it as well.

River was the biggest surprise as he was still too young and applied for a dad role even. It would seem that big brother Phoenix is trying hard to feed the little siblings of the Phoenix family.

That George audition set up by Creed Pictures practically sped up the meeting of the three people. It was also at an opportune time when the trio was just starting out with everything.

Perhaps Alexander could choke it up again with the entire moth to the flame scenario or the sort of moth to the chaos butterfly weirdness that this re-life of his has unwittingly been cooking up.

He always assumed that Galina and Milla were probably the first of the trend and it would seem his assumptions were proven correct.

Either way, he really wasn't that bothered by it. With the Back to the Future cast members having its major players retained and changed in some ways, the heartthrob trio was just a bonus to it all.

Perhaps he could even capitalize more on these kinds of discoveries, have the yet-to-be popular stars be cast with unimportant roles in Creed Pictures' next projects, and then be a great return of investment when they become popular and have a lot of fans.

It will be like, Star A is part of this movie, every fan of Star A should see it to commemorate Star A's start to stardom.

It was a silly thought but the capitalist in Alexander saw through that layer of silliness and would probably expound much on that idea soon enough.

Eventually, his thoughtful examination and recounting of cast and actor dynamics finally finished up.

Alexander mingled amongst the onlooking cast and the readying crew as always.

The actresses huddled together to do some of the usual lady gossipings. There was Lea Thompson, Claudia Wells, Wendie Sperber, and all the other lady casts that wanted to join in on the fun.

This group of actresses makes up of people whose parts are integral or semi-integral to the story.

Alexander has already interacted with them and it wasn't quite a pleasant experience due to the fact that ladies tend to pamper children. 47-year-old souled Alexander hadn't a solution to get around that.

It was unfortunate that with his dashing looks, connection to the producer, and talent for coming up with the BttF story, they magnified that lady instinct quite a lot.

It was also fortunate that his identity allowed him to escape being squeezed in the cheek and all that kid-troubled nonsense.

As the ladies huddled along, the actors familiar with one another also formed their own groups to talk script and the life of an actor.

Alexander was much at ease with their kind of gathering as he deducted their alliances and whatnot.

It wasn't that the actress don't have prejudices against each other, they were just skilled at hiding it and were good besties on the outside.

Michael Fox and Thomas Wilson were quite interactive due to their roles. Christopher was well... still stuck in his Doc Brown exercises. Having it much more dedicated than 'Doc Brown' is Eric Stoltz who is always in bumbly 'George McFly' mode since he was in the set.

Method actors and whatnot are really a weird bunch of people that Alexander doesn't want to associate with but also can relate to.

When he is in programming mode, he is way too obsessed with programming that he even reached the point of making some godly existence give him a re-life reward.

When he is on comic booking mode, he is outputting comic books by the day that his 50 colorists and inkers couldn't even keep up.

When he is in little boss mode, the productivity and self-sufficiency of Creed Comics have come along quite nicely that he is at ease to be away from it and it is still bringing in bucks from the Volume Books that would always be incrementally increasing.

When he is on filming mode like right at these recent days, he had practically researched and correlated filming stuff to the point that he even reach the career trajectories of every actor he encountered.

Now, he is trying to find the perfect balance for those different modes. Alexander did not doubt that he would be obsessed with balancing modes that it would become an entire mode of itself called 'balance mode'.

Whatever the case it would be, Alexander had no trouble being a focus-absorbed weirdo just as Eric Stoltz hadn't cared for all the weird looks he is getting from everyone on set.

Of course, aside from Method-acting Stoltz getting the weird looks, there was also the Reeves and Depp duo that was attracting attention.

Their roles had also been filmed already but they wanted to see how the Delorean would time-travel and how it would be filmed.

They were clearly side characters just joining in on the fun but the ladies in the crew were looking at them with doe eyes.

Phoenix was with the duo as well but he was still young to catch the attention of vanity-obsessed women who works at vanity-filled Hollywood sets.

All that dynamic aside, everyone was just clearly waiting on the director to give a go and be able to see the filming spectacle that the Back to the Future script has promised.

With preparations already been done by Innovative Rob, he didn't make everyone wait long and called up Tiger, Michael, and Christopher Lloyd on set to be ready.

The filming ensued and as chaotic they are when waiting and talking amongst themselves, they had to have the basic etiquette to keep quiet when the cameras are rolling.

The quiet rule has always been in Filming 101 after all.
