Bab 542: Chapter 542: Black Cat?
In the evening, Charles Capet and Anne Hathaway went back to her Long Beach Villa.
"Is Sam Raimi hoping to invite you to play Black Cat?" Charles leaned on the sofa, casually loosening his tie.
In the comics, Black Cat was one of Spider-Man's partners and lovers, a sexy anti-heroine!
"We just discussed it; the specific plans haven't been finalized. After all, Sony is still refining the script for Spider-Man 4," Anne Hathaway sat on the sofa next to Charles.
"Don't get your hopes up. The Spider-Man series' producer Avi Arad and director Sam Raimi don't see eye to eye. Though Spider-Man 3 had a high box office, the reviews were highly polarized," Charles said, glancing at Anne Hathaway who was cuddling him. "You have an amazing body, and Black Cat would indeed suit you," he said, then leaned down to kiss her.
No wonder Warner Bros. decided to cast Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises later; maybe this was one of the reasons.
Anne Hathaway lay on the sofa, her gown casually thrown aside, enjoying Charles's playful touch on her chest. "Do you think Sony's Spider-Man 4 will flop?" she asked.
"It's a high possibility. Didn't you see how Disney only kept Johnny Depp for Pirates of the Caribbean 4?" Charles said, admiring Anne Hathaway's perfectly shaped chest.
"Really pretty," Charles commented as he gently touched her chest.
"Stop it, Charles," Anne Hathaway pulled him onto herself, whispering seductively into his ear, "Do you like it?"
"Of course, I do!"
Anne Hathaway then wrapped her arms around Charles's neck, kissing him passionately.
James Cameron's new film, Avatar, was the most anticipated movie of the year. With its release date approaching, the overwhelming promotional campaign was indeed grand.
Marvel's new version of The Incredible Hulk premiered on December 4th, half a month before Avatar!
"James is indeed a pioneer in cinematic technology; IMAX's stock prices are going to rise!" Charles sighed as he read the news in the paper.
The giant IMAX theater hall would receive a huge boost due to Avatar's strong performance. Capet currently had six IMAX theaters in the US and four in Asia.
As a shareholder in IMAX, Capet supported IMAX considerably, continually releasing some 3D movies to help promote IMAX as well.
Nowadays, many movies were released simultaneously in 2D, 3D, and IMAX versions.
"Charles, coffee," Anne Hathaway brought over the coffee she made and glanced at the newspaper headline about Twenty Century Fox's Avatar.
"Worried that it might affect The Incredible Hulk's box office performance?" she asked.
Charles shook his head, "There will be an impact, but not too significant. Cameron's movies always need a long-term release. The quality of The Incredible Hulk itself is more crucial; after all, Universal already released a version of it a few years ago."
Anne Hathaway walked over and sat on Charles's lap, her seductive body barely covered by silky lingerie.
"Charles, I've got the script for Silver Linings Playbook. I feel the story is really good, and I can't wait to start filming it," said Anne Hathaway. Although she had been nominated for Golden Globes and Oscars, she had yet to win an award.
Known for her beauty, Anne Hathaway was still often labeled a "pretty trophy," and she was eager to prove she was more than just a star but an actor.
Previously, if it weren't for Charles stopping her, she nearly took the role in Love & Other Drugs, which would have showcased her famous chest.
Charles put down his coffee and rubbed the lady's thigh, "Dear, you should know Oscar Academy voters don't like pretty faces. When you film Silver Linings Playbook next year, don't have any idol burden. The lead character's life starts off chaotic and disgraceful; you need to show up with a disheveled appearance!"
Charles understood that Anne Hathaway carried too much of an idol burden, always appearing glamorous on screen.
This way, not many would care about your acting skills; just seeing the sexy Anne Hathaway was enough!
"Like Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman with their ugly makeovers?" Anne Hathaway asked.
"That's unnecessary. Charlize Theron's drastic transformation in Monster is something not many actresses can handle. Nicole Kidman's look in The Hours would be sufficient. Just don't focus on enhancing your beauty.
Charlize Theron won the Best Actress Oscar for Monster due to her transformative performance.
Nicole Kidman won the Best Actress Oscar for The Hours, but that required a lot of PR. However, your performance at least needs to earn a nomination!
Anne, you've had an incredibly smooth career, from your perfect debut in The Princess Diaries to your success in The Devil Wears Prada. You haven't faced much failure or setbacks," Charles said, lifting the lady's chin.
"You're also beautiful and have an amazing body, which can easily cause resentment from ordinary people."
"Would people resent me for my perfection?" Anne Hathaway seemed confused, then looked at Charles. "In terms of that, who can surpass you, Charles Capet? Your titles are way more impressive than mine!"
"Pop," Charles gently slapped her thigh, "It's different. I come from East L.A.'s slums, single-parent family, and didn't go to college. A true rags-to-riches story in America. Isn't that an inspiring story for young people?"
"True," Anne Hathaway kissed Charles's neck several times. "Charles Capet's success is un-replicable. The newspapers compare you to the tycoon families of the 19th century, but you significantly shortened the timeline. Newspapers say you're not just a symbol of the American Dream but also represent the American spirit!
Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't carry any idol burden then. I don't want to be called an eye-candy forever!"
