-Director Ian with Actress Mia?-

Yesterday, 17th April 2018, we spotted Ian Renner with Eloise, the actress who acted as the female lead in La La Land which was released recently. What was really happening? Why were they together? The picture below showed how they were caught on cameras while they were getting out of the 'Family Movies', the theatre hall in Beverly Hills.

[Picture of them together]

The young famous director, Ian Renner, who is the founder of Renner studios has become the talk of the town once again. He came up with the idea for Home Alone and made it a huge blockbuster, then published his literary work Resident Evil and gained more fame. Much to our luck, his latest movie La La Land was released just a few days ago, which starred Eloise and Ryan, our well-known stars, and now is subjected to a scandal by himself.

Eloise, who played Mia is a very popular actress and the ex-fiance of a well-known actor in the industry. She starred in La La Land but had been popular in so many other movies which were massive successes. She then focused on Broadway theatres for quite a while and is now back on Hollywood's screen.

But, yesterday, they were caught going out of the theatre, after watching 'The 13th Street' which got released the same day as La La Land. In fact, William had made a statement in a popular magazine that Ian Renner is someone with just one-time luck but now Ian was found watching William's movie. Is Ian scared of the statement? Although I wonder what his thoughts are about 'The 13th Street'.

Regardless, the next big question arises, what were Ian and Eloise doing together? Are they sleeping together? Are they just friends? What is the deal?

In my opinion, if a director is a man and the actress is a woman and they find themselves attracted to each other, they're permitted to do anything because they are adults. Where it becomes bad is when one person puts a gun to the other person's head and makes unhealthy demands through some blackmail.

Sexual issues are not things you can really predict because they are human-related. Anybody can sleep with anybody anywhere in the world as far as it's an agreeable venture. So if I'm a director and I see an actress and I say I want to sleep with you and the actress agrees I don't see anything wrong with that.

Where it becomes bad is when I say I will not give you a job until I sleep with you. Now, we over-flog this issue of directors sleeping with actresses. A man will meet a woman anywhere, any day and they will sleep with each other. Let anybody sleep with anybody they want, life goes on.

But, Hollywood fans seek answers to all of their questions. Mia with the director is something that won't be forgotten. Also, Ian was once caught on camera with Alexa, who also took part in a role of La La Land, which once proved that Ian is someone who can't just be friends with …

"They sure have tried to save lives with some sentences," Mason said while reading the lines over and over.

Ian and Mason were sitting opposite each other in the office while trying to process and proceed with what happened last night.

"Doesn't matter, uncle. It will only increase the popularity, I bet everyone is well aware of La La Land now," Ian said and chuckled.

After what happened yesterday, Ian and Eloise somehow got to the back exit of the theatre building. But the security and the management asked for autographs and selfies before letting them go through the door.

[Last night]

"Sir, I'm a huge fan of La La Land, and so is my wife. The timing is awful, but can I take a selfie with both you and Mia to show her?" The man who stood tall among the bodyguards asked while stuttering trying not to be completely annoying.

"Of course," Eloise said and smiled at the camera.

After they went to the parking lot successfully, being able to create no more scenes, Ian asked Eloise if it was fine or if he should take any steps for what happened a while ago.

"Is everything okay? I'm sorry if you feel uncomfort-" Ian started but was cut off by Eloise pretty quickly.

"Nah, those scandals come and go. I'm too used to them being in the industry. But in a sense, I am concerned about what type of things the gossip writers would create out of this, but well, that's part of the fun in Hollywood," She said and laughed it off.

What she said was completely true and Ian was no longer feeling guilty. Ian was thinking about how Eloise would react once she got out of there, but now he understood she is very mature about the cameras. He knew that in her career life, she must have seen so many scandals and met with such not just once. Regardless, he knew he had nothing to worry about.

And in fact, he was thinking solely about the popularity he might gain from it.

[Present]

"Not like we were caught doing anything, uncle," Ian continued with what he was telling before.

"The effect would have been better if it was Ryan and Eloise. Maybe no one saw this one coming, Ian with Eloise. How was 'The 13th Street', by the way? Now everyone knows that you went to watch it, no wonder the author of the article assumed you were scared, I mean, it just looks obvious," Mason said, yet his expressions were neutral.

"Not like I care, or Eloise. La La Land will hit $100 million soon, anyway," Ian said and smirked. "It is totally fine, the fact about The 13th Street. I mean, I watched it but couldn't help myself from noticing flaws in the direction of the movie. It's not half as good as ours," he continued further.

"I wonder what might be going through William's mind," Mason said and smiled back.

It was clear that they were having fun. The words of one-time luck which were said by William had been strongly written in Ian's mind. But with how things are going, Ian knew he would be able to answer plenty of questions from that conversation such as, what does Ian have to tell William about his assumptions, and whatnot, but each and every response will affect them positively.

"La La Land, the moment of truth will come out soon," Ian said and smiled.

Although Ian was feeling pretty smug about the whole situation and was confident in what he will be achieving, soon, something he won't know is what will happen in the future. The more he doesn't know it, the more it's going to shock him.

William was now furious with his assistant Joseph furious about how the results of his new movie had been released. Yesterday, the whole day, William was restless about so many things. The critics weren't going well either. In reality, he knew not every critic is lying, but in his case, the majority of the reviews weren't that good.

In fact, his ego had been bruised deeply and undoubtedly.

"It was 800k yesterday, and now… Still 12 million?" William asked in shock and sadness.

"Uh… Seems like that, sir," Joseph answered and stood awkwardly not knowing what to do. Joseph had been working under Williams for two years now, yet he was still not comfortable and used to William's stubborn anger. At one point where it reached the maximum for the reason of someone messing up with a marketing design, Joseph unintentionally shouted 'Calm the fuck down', and almost got fired.

"The critics… Oh, God!" William said and his hands raised to meet with his head in pain.

@Godz_Monstar

A mess of a movie, a no-chills nightmare about what happens to a group of kids. The main lead tends to do the entire movie perfectly, but the cinematography, plot, and directing seemed absolutely hilarious. Even my kid wouldn't be scared after watching this movie. The only reason I went to watch this is after knowing it is from William and his directory, but now I understand I should've listened to the critics and their reviews because a majority can't be lying. The ghosts looked fake as heck! Even I would be able to create a better one if I wanted to… I wonder what happened to the legendary Williams. We all kept wanting more and more and more movies. This is a total bummer! Don't waste your gas, money, and energy watching this, please!

It's a swell kernel of an idea, but William brandishes both his camera and his plot in our face with reckless abandon, making for some very oddly shot death scenes and a whole lot of cut-and-paste expository yammering that, in the end, is simply dull. It doesn't help matters that so many of the fixtures of the genre – the long, black tresses and pancake makeup of the female ghosts, the peer group under phantasmic pressure, and the creaky sound of people walking toward yet another teenage victim – are all here in full. This merely serves to heighten not the horror but the nagging sense that the director's run aground, albeit only temporarily (this reviewer has yet to see it, but William's segment in the new anthology film Three … Extremes is generally regarded as excellent, never knew Zero MediaWorks would create such a poor movie). Knowing William, then, there's a good chance that he's simply playing mind games with us. On the other hand, The 13th Street is so derivative and overfamiliar that without definite knowledge of it being a parody, all we're left with is a second-rate-horror entry that bores rather than scares us.

"Urgh!" William shook his head from side to side in disapproval of his own work. "How can this turn out to be such a losing project?!" he asked.

"I think it is because they compared this to La La Land. See, the top reviews are all about comparison. Only the latter is complete negative comments about ours," Joseph said and pointed at the screen.

William's anger only increased by seeing them. In fact, the budget for the movie was $40 million. This way, it would barely cover it. Much to his bad luck, outside the office, the heads of Zero MediaWorks weren't happy even a bit about his work. They now are doubting about investing in William's future works.

"I found something," Joseph said out of the blue while scrolling down the screen.

"What could that possibly be?" Frustration was evident in William's voice.

"Something that might ruin Ian's career even," Joseph replied and smirked.
