Chapter 619: Restarting Jurassic Park?

After George Lucas sold Lucasfilm, he didn't continue to personally manage it. Instead, he appointed the famous producer Kathleen Kennedy, Steven Spielberg's partner, as the president of Lucasfilm.

Kathleen Kennedy started as Spielberg's assistant producer in the 80s and gradually became a prominent Hollywood producer.

Together with her husband Frank Marshall, they helped Spielberg establish Amblin Entertainment and managed it until founding the Kennedy/Marshall Company.

"Congratulations, Kathleen. Lucasfilm is a great platform," Charles expressed when he met Kathleen Kennedy.

"Thank you, Charles," Kathleen Kennedy warmly shook hands with Charles, having been involved in almost all of Spielberg's productions.

Amblin, DreamWorks, and Kennedy/Marshall all had considerable collaborations with Universal Pictures!

Universal's Bourne series was produced by the Kennedy/Marshall Company. However, Charles axed the plans for Bourne 4 last year.

"Now Capet Universal is thinking of rebooting the Jurassic Park sequels, tentatively titled Jurassic Park 4. What are your thoughts?" Charles suddenly asked.

In the 90s, Universal released two Jurassic Park movies, both directed by Steven Spielberg, and produced by Kathleen Kennedy. They were very popular.

In the new millennium, Kathleen Kennedy pushed for the development of Jurassic Park 3. Although Spielberg didn't direct it, the box office was still good.

As one of Universal's most successful franchises, the importance of Jurassic Park was undeniable.

"Jurassic Park 4?" Kathleen Kennedy was surprised. Jurassic Park 3 was released in 2001.

"Charles, you guys really want to reboot the Jurassic Park series?"

"Of course. Jurassic Park means a lot to Universal," Charles wasn't making a rash decision. Even Star Wars was preparing for its seventh installment. Why couldn't Jurassic Park have a fourth one?

Kathleen Kennedy nodded. "I'll discuss this with Steven since he is very familiar with the series."

"Of course. Right now, Universal is just considering it, and the specific preparation process hasn't started yet. We can take our time," Charles explained. He could slowly go through Universal's vault to reboot or remake some old films.

After chatting with Kathleen Kennedy for a while, Charles ran into David Geffen and Steven Spielberg. Almost the DreamWorks founders, except for Jeffrey Katzenberg, reunited at Disney!

Shortly after, Robert Freeman, CEO of Summit Entertainment, approached Charles to discuss adapting Marvel Comics characters into movies.

Of course, Charles promptly rejected the request. Marvel Studios was currently working hard to reclaim the rights they had previously sold off. They wouldn't consider selling adaptation rights now.

Summit Entertainment's DC Comics adaptation Red was about to be released, Charles knew.

Though under the DC Comics umbrella, there were several companies. Let's see if you can get permission to adapt DC Universe characters, Charles thought to himself, feeling sorry for Summit's CEO Robert Freeman for three seconds. Without the Twilight series, Summit seemed to be languishing in a half-dead state.

"I wonder how long they can hold on?"

Charles then thought about Lionsgate, another independent film company. The Hunger Games series didn't seem to be associated with them either.

Actually, developing some thriller and horror genre films wasn't bad. At least they could still make money on DVD and TV!

"Miss, would you care to dance?" Charles extended his hand, inviting a young lady.

"Ah, sure, Mr. Capet. I'm Elizabeth Olsen!"

"Olsen?" Charles asked deliberately, though he knew it was Elizabeth Olsen and was surprised to run into her here.

"Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen are my sisters," Elizabeth Olsen said, who was 21 years old and in the prime of her youth, studying at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts while participating in film and TV productions.

Charles led the lady to the dance floor, wrapping his arm around her waist. "The famous Olsen twins! I had no idea they had a younger sister who is so beautiful!"

Elizabeth Olsen smiled, glancing at Charles Capet, her heart beating faster. Since childhood, she had participated in a few productions thanks to her sisters' fame.

Now Elizabeth found that the actor's path wasn't easy. The Olsen twins, strictly speaking, weren't Hollywood insiders, so their available resources were quite limited!

"Are you an actress too?" Charles asked.

Elizabeth Olsen nodded. "Apart from some minor roles as a child, I've only been in one low-budget film. Just finished this year, titled Martha Marcy May Marlene. It's about a girl named Martha who gets involved with a cult. After escaping, she suffers from paranoia upon returning to her family. The script is based on a true story."

Elizabeth Olsen didn't hold back. As it was a low-budget indie film, it was yet to find a distributor after being shot.

"A true story..." Charles responded calmly, seeing as the U.S. had numerous cults; it wasn't surprising anymore.

"How about we discuss Martha Marcy May Marlene somewhere else?" Charles suggested.

"Okay..."

Inside a suite at the Hilton Garden Inn on North Highland Avenue, Charles and Elizabeth Olsen began kissing as soon as they entered the room.

After a while, Charles embraced her from behind, guiding his hands into her dress, feeling Elizabeth Olsen's breasts. "Dear, are you a D cup now?"

"Mmm," Elizabeth Olsen turned and kissed Charles. "Almost, it's more like a 34C!"

Then Charles swiftly undressed her, pushing her onto the bed. "Is Martha Marcy May Marlene your first major film?"

"Yes, I love acting," Elizabeth responded as Charles kissed her breasts.

"Mmm," Charles kissed her lips passionately while Elizabeth quickly helped him unbutton his shirt...
