Different ending

In England, the filming of "Like Crazy" got underway without delay, starting immediately.

Initially, Lucas, portraying Jacob, warmly greeted the parents of Anna, played by Felicity. Subsequently, Anna introduced Jacob to her life in England.

During a visit to a bar, Jacob remained in the background, silently watching as Anna engaged with her friends, seemingly oblivious to his presence.

Later, in Anna's apartment, Jacob expressed his feelings of alienation to her. However, their conversation was interrupted when someone knocked on the door. Jacob watched as Anna cheerfully welcomed a man named Simon, portrayed by Charlie, into the apartment. Jealousy was evident in Jacob's gaze as he observed their friendly interaction.

As filming progressed, the narrative unfolded with Jacob and Anna sharing intimate moments and interacting with Anna's parents, who appeared to disapprove of Jacob.

It was eventually revealed that Anna's father had introduced her to Simon.

Despite these challenges, Jacob and Anna's relationship flourished, and they even married. However, when they began the process for Anna to return to Los Angeles, they were frustrated to learn that her return would be a lengthy and uncertain process.

Ultimately, Jacob returned to the US alone.

In scenes filmed earlier, Anna is seen with Simon, who temporarily fills the void left by Jacob in her heart.

Despite being married to Jacob, Anna becomes intimate with Simon. Later, after filming key scenes in advance, such as an argument between Jacob and Anna which Jacob diffuses by serenading her, the cast and crew eventually made their way back to Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, Jennifer was preoccupied with other commitments. According to Drake, her agency had presented her with a new opportunity. However, the production didn't face much delay, as Jennifer rejoined the team a day later.

Upon her return, Lucas greeted Jennifer warmly, "Hey, it's been over a week, how have you been?"

"I'm doing well, thanks. How about you?" Jennifer replied with a smile, embracing Lucas.

Lucas chuckled, "The shoot in England is complete. Now, we'll finish up here in Los Angeles. We've got some important scenes ahead, like Jacob growing closer to Sam, beyond just friendship."

"I'm looking forward to it," Jennifer said with a grin.

Before long, filming resumed, featuring Lucas as Jacob and Jennifer as Sam.

The storyline explores Sam, a friend and bandmate of Jacob's, who confesses her feelings for him. Fresh from England, Jacob finds himself in a dilemma over Sam's confession, especially as memories of Anna getting close to Simon in the UK linger in his mind.

Lucas and Jennifer had rehearsed their scenes thoroughly, so under Drake's direction and with the crew watching, they delivered a compelling performance.

Their chemistry was undeniable, especially during the kissing scene, which they executed with passion and without any hint of awkwardness, to the crew's amazement.

The patrons at the bar couldn't help but give a second glance as Lucas and Jennifer, fully immersed in their roles, shared a passionate kiss.

The sound of their kiss filled the air, lingering for what felt like an eternity before they finally parted. Then, Jacob, conflicted, whispered, "This is so wrong, Sam."

Sam responded, her arms encircling Jacob, "You won't regret this, Jacob. You mentioned Anna's difficulties with coming back to Los Angeles. Maybe it's time to let her go."

The scene continued with Jacob growing more comfortable around Sam, their relationship no longer a secret as Sam became increasingly attached to him.

As the filming of their intimate moments extended, a pivotal scene emerged: Jacob ends things with Sam after receiving a message from Anna.

Jennifer's acting shone through, portraying Sam's raw emotions in Jacob's room, her tears genuine as they embraced, her voice breaking, "Sam... I've told you before... My heart belongs to another."

Sam, through her tears, confronted him, "So, I was just a stand-in for Anna, a temporary replacement?" She had suspected as much, yet had hoped to erase Anna from Jacob's heart—a hope that was crumbling.

As Jacob attempted to console her, Sam pulled away, moved to the bed, and began to dress. With one final, lingering look, she walked out the door.

The director called "cut," applauding Lucas and Jennifer's performances. However, the tension lingered, their gazes locked not just as characters, but with a hint of real question and uncertainty.

Off camera, Lucas found himself pondering whether Jennifer's feelings had transcended the boundaries of their roles.

***

Days passed, and the filming focused primarily on the complexities of Jacob and Sam's evolving relationship.

The plot unfolded: Jacob, after rekindling contact with Anna, returns from the UK only to find himself drifting back towards Sam, who remains an integral part of his band and his life.

In the storyline, there were scenes that depicted Jacob and Sam sharing intimate moments together, with Sam expressing pleasure. Despite the scenes being staged, they elicited strong reactions from some members of the crew.

As the story progressed, Jacob received another message from Anna, leading to another breakup between him and Sam.

Eventually, Anna managed to return to Los Angeles and shared a joyful reunion with Jacob. However, as they reconnected, both began to sense that the initial spark and happiness they once felt had faded.

During a shared shower scene, their kisses lacked the excitement and joy of their early relationship. What remained was a sense of emptiness.

The narrative took an unexpected turn towards the end, with Jacob and Sam finding their way back to each other. After a musical performance together on stage, Jacob smiled and tenderly kissed Sam, sealing their reunion.

The final scenes were filmed at a popular venue in Los Angeles known for hosting artists and bands. Drake, the director, secured permission to film on stage, thanks in part to the manager's enthusiasm for Lucas's music. As Lucas concluded his performance, the audience clamored for more, echoing through the venue with chants of "More! More! More!"

Meanwhile, in a twist of fate within the storyline, Anna, portrayed by Felicity, attended Jacob's performance with Simon, played by Charlie. It was revealed that Anna and Simon had also found happiness together.

Lucas, embodying Jacob, could only offer a wry chuckle at the situation. The plan had been to conclude filming after two songs, "Falling" by Harry Styles and "Say You Won't Let Go." However, the audience's eager demands for more music hinted at the great songs performed by Lucas.
