Chapter Nineteen (Part 2)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When I trudge out into the clinic waiting room the following weekend, Claire shoves her phone into her handbag and stands up to catch me in her arms as I fall into her for a hug. “That was rotten.” I groan. 
“Did it hurt?”
“Yes.”
“Oh dear, is it still sore?”
I don’t answer, I just make a pitiful sound into her shoulder as my womb twinges with pains that I thought were limited only to the very worst and most cursed days of my periods, but the doctor told me it’s normal to experience it as my body adjusts to the IUD. This new, strange alien body will be part of me now for five years, a tiny T shaped piece of plastic that hardly looked capable of wreaking so much havoc on my innocent body when I obsessively googled photographs of it in the moments before the procedure. 
Tumblr media
“It feels fucking horrible.” I complain. 
“I’m sorry, babes.”
“And it was a man.”
“Oh no!”
“He told me that I reminded him of Natalie Portman when he was digging around indiscriminately in my cervix.”
“They shouldn’t let any men near our vaginas.” She declares, and I grunt in agreement, a pathetic sound, muffled by the polyester of her pink puffer coat. Smoothing down the back of my hair she wonders, “Is there anything that’d make you feel better? We can stop by Big Tesco and get loads of snacks for you.”
“I’d like that a lot.”
Tumblr media
And that’s what we do, even though I’m the one that has to drive us there because Claire still hasn’t applied for her licence, but she lets me wait in the car and rest while she does the mad dash around the supermarket as a consolation. She emerges with a heaping bag of far too much, but that’s what I like about Claire. Everything she does, she does all the way, to excess. She does nothing with reserve or restraint. It’s everything, all of the time, and it fills me with immense joy to see this shopping bag, Pringles and Kinder chocolate and big packets of chocolate biscuits poking out the top of it, promising me unlimited indulgence until the button on my jeans pops off and I am lying in a heaping mound of crumpled wrappers. 
At home she makes me some tea and settles me on the sofa in a pair of her impossibly fluffy slippers with the TV playing Dawson’s Creek while she goes upstairs to pack a huge bag for her weekend down the end of the road at Shane’s house. She makes sure I have enough of everything, painkillers, hot water bottles, blankets and fuzzy socks, and when she’s satisfied with my state of being and has ensured that I’m nestled perfectly in a cloud of fluff she waves goodbye to me at the door and tells me that if I need anything I can just text her and she’ll be right over. 
“What would I ever do without you?” I say. 
“You’d survive, babe.”
Tumblr media
At eight o’clock that evening, Jude swings by after his nightly visit with Jen, who is now recovering at Michelle’s. He makes a ridiculous face when he sees me cocooned on the sofa, his bottom lip jutted out and his forehead crinkled up in almost theatrical sympathy. I note his extremely expressive eyebrows. He leaves his coat on a hook and comes over to deliver three quick kisses to the crown of my head. “Poor Evie.” He says, and he cups my cheeks in his hands as I look up at him with eyes that I know are big and soft and begging for reassurance, but I suddenly feel as though I’ve never yearned for something so badly as his sympathy. 
Tumblr media
“How are you feeling?”
“Still sore.” I say. 
“I can’t imagine, but it looks like Claire has you taken care of.”
“She’s my guardian angel.”
“Good with this kind of thing, isn’t she?” 
I lift a hand to run it through his dark hair. “I missed you.”
“I know, it’s been hectic.” He drops to his knees on the floor in front of me, still holding my face and kisses me gently, lips brushing against mine until I feel formless and soft, but I have to pull back when he starts trying to incorporate some steamy tongue action. “No,” I say weakly. “Don’t try and get that going with me, I’m too feeble.”
Tumblr media
“Ah, sorry, I got carried away.” He sits on the floor by my feet so that I can have the whole couch to myself, but he holds my foot in his lap and rests his back against my knees.
“How’s Jen doing?”
“Not as badly as you, apparently. I didn’t know that getting an IUD put in was such a brutal procedure.”
I snicker. “I get it, you think I’m playing it up for sympathy.”
“I don’t think that, I wouldn’t know,” He turns around so he can flash me a grin. “But you know, Jen has a shattered thigh bone and nerve damage and only one of you is sitting around cocooned in fluffy blankets and surrounded by half-eaten chocolate.”
Tumblr media
I scoff. “Did I not tell you about the doctor saying I look like Natalie Portman right into my vagina?”
“You did.”
“What do you think about that?”
“He’s right a bit, no? I’ve thought that before actually.”
I bat him lightly across the back of the skull, and after he flinches he twists around to pepper my knees with apologetic kisses because they’re the only part of me that he can reach. “I’m sorry. I genuinely do feel bad for you, and I know that you must be really sore, and I’ve just burst into your apartment and started making fun of you.”
I sigh, “Maybe I am leaning into it a bit. I just like sitting around having an excuse to do nothing, to be honest. Do you think I’ve Munchausen’s?”
“Yeah.” 
“How’s your thesis?”
Tumblr media
A grimace. “Coming. Let’s not talk about college for now, I feel up to my neck in it all. It’s nice to just get out of the house for a night. I want to do nothing too.”
“Well I was watching Dawson’s Creek if you feel like jumping in.”
“Is this the show about the teenagers with the insane vocabulary?”
“Exactly,” I snicker. “Do you want me to catch you up?”
Tumblr media
“Yeah, yeah, please. Tell me everything that’s happening.” He adjusts himself so that he can lay his head on my thigh, and listens intently as I tell him everything, about Joey and Dawson and Pacey, Andi, Jen and Jack and everybody in between, and then we watch it together in comfortable silence until I’m sleepy enough to hit the bed. 
Tumblr media
“You don’t have to go.” I tell him as he makes moves towards his Carhartt coat, and when he turns to me I can tell that he’s trying hard not to be too eager about the possibility of sharing a bed again. “If you want me to stay and keep you company, I can.” He says, and we are whispering. I don’t really know why, but I suppose it’s late, and something about the night makes it feel involuntary. 
“I’d like that if you would.”
“Well, of course.” 
“I don’t have a toothbrush for you.”
“That’s okay, I’ll use yours,” he breaks into a smile at my expression. “I’m joking, obviously I wouldn’t do that. Unless you really didn’t mind.”
“Would you actually do that if I let you?”
He considers this. “Maybe.”
Tumblr media
I shake my head and start heading upstairs. “You’re sick, Jude. Sometimes I’m concerned about you.”
He follows. “It’s not really that sick, I’ve already invested serious hours into the inside of your mouth, how much worse could it be if we shared a toothbrush?”
“Because a toothbrush is full of the dirt and plaque someone has scraped off their teeth and gums, I can’t imagine voluntarily putting that into my mouth.”
He shrugs. “It’s a bit gross but, like, I don’t find the idea of it totally repulsive.”
Tumblr media
“Well you can use your finger.” I lead him into the bathroom where he immediately pretends to grab my toothbrush from the cup by the sink. “You think you’re so cute.” I say accusingly, even though I’m really the one who thinks that, and as we brush our teeth next to each other I admire the way that we look together, and how I wouldn’t complain if I could see us like this, doing something ordinary together in a bathroom mirror forever and ever. 
Tumblr media
“Nice room, Evie,” He says when we go inside, and I realise that it’s the first time that he’s seen it.
“Sorry about the clothes on the floor.”
“I don’t care about that. I like all of your things,” He saunters over to my easel in the corner, where there’s a half-finished pencil drawing. “This is lovely.”
I feel obliged to deny it. “It’s not.”
“Yeah, you’re right, it’s rotten,” He throws his eyes skyward. “I feel a bit sick looking at it actually, can we face this thing away from your bed when we’re trying to sleep?”
Tumblr media
I laugh, and then immediately get a new twinge of pain in my womb, prompting me to clutch my stomach and tumble back onto the mattress with a self-sympathetic groan. “Stop.”
“Stop telling funny jokes?”
Tumblr media
I make another noise, not unlike an injured animal and his face comes into frame above me. “Baby,” He says, and another, more fluttery feeling joins the ache inside me. “Do you want me to get you anything?”
“My hot water bottle.”
“Okay.”
“Can you fill it up again so it’s nice and hot?”
His mouth twitches up. “Yeah, of course.”
“Do you think I’m being a bad patient?”
“I do.” He dots my nose with a kiss. “But it’s alright, I’d probably be worse if it was me.”
Tumblr media
When he goes downstairs to heat up the water I swiftly change into my pyjamas and crawl under the covers, switching on the bedside lamp and snuggling in with the duvet pulled all the way up to my chin. He comes back after a short while and passes the hot water bottle to me, and then I ogle him wholly un-subtly as he undresses down to his t-shirt and underwear and slots into the bed next to me. “All good?”
“Mhm.”
“Poor Evie,” He says, and makes a little clucking sound that makes me giggle. “You’re so soft. I didn’t think that you were a softie, you know that? I used to think you were a dark, mysterious, dangerous man.”
“I am a dangerous man.”
“Yeah, right.”
Tumblr media
He gets up on his elbow to look down at me. “I still make you a bit nervous though, don’t I?” and he bites his lip, which sends a shiver right through me. I don’t know how he can do that, turn a moment of lighthearted banter and fun into something that feels immediately sexy and forbidden. My mind immediately goes to the last night we spent in the same bed, and though I could hardly see him then, I can imagine that he had that same look on his face then as he does now. 
“Do I make you nervous?” I ask, and he nods. “Yes,” and falls back on the pillow to stare up at the ceiling. I jolt when I feel his hand snake towards me beneath the covers, but he only wants to rest it on the hot water bottle that covers my stomach. “Did you do this because of me?” He wonders. “Like, the whole IUD thing. Was that for me?”
Tumblr media
I feel awkward. “Maybe. I also, like, on Friday I got tested too.”
“Tested?”
“At the sexual health clinic. For STIs.”
“Oh, I should probably do that too,” He says. “Good idea. You’re prepared.”
“Should I not be?” I say anxiously. “I just thought that you were supposed to do that, maybe it’s not something we should even talk about, I don’t know, I just don’t want you to think that-”
“No, it’s fine!” He says. “You’re being smart and mature, we should have discussed this ages ago, I’m just- well, I’m glad that you’ve been thinking about it and you want it because I-”
“I definitely do. I know that we haven’t really addressed it much but I had the best time at your holiday house.”
“You did?”
“Yes, and I wanted to do it again, I just felt-”
“Nervous, yeah, me too.”
Tumblr media
“I didn’t think that you got nervous about those things.”
“Of course I do.”
My hand lays on top of his. “Are you still?”
“Yeah, obviously. I still want you to like me afterwards, I don’t want you to freak out or not find it that enjoyable, I dunno. Of course I’m a bit apprehensive.”
I smile. “Well I think that’s nice.”
“All of that stuff,” He says after a minute. “The test, and the IUD, was it expensive? Because I feel like if I’m the reason that you did those things then I should pay you back for it.”
“No, it was free,” I say. “I have the medical card.”
“Oh. Well I would have paid, it that counts.”
“It does. That’s actually mad nice of you.”
“Sure.”
Tumblr media
We say nothing for ages then, and I flick off the light as soon as I think he might be falling asleep, and he turns over to his side and curls his arm over me. “Goodnight, Evie,” He murmurs, and then I have a new thought. “Cyprus,” I whisper. “I never told you about Cyprus.”
“The island?”
“Yeah.”
“Did you have some facts about it that you wanted to share, or…”
“No. Would you want to go?”
“When?”
“Easter. To Claire’s holiday home. She and Shane are going.”
A pause. “But my thesis.”
“You have three weeks to really buckle down, right? And if you’re not finished you could bring your laptop with you, do you think?”
“Yeah, maybe, I just really have to get it done because I’m going back to Berlin to finish my studio work for the whole of May, and-”
“I know, and if you don’t want to come then-”
“No, no, I do, I really do. I’ll figure it out.”
“I think it’ll be really nice.”
“Yeah, it will. A bit of sunshine won’t hurt.”
“Exactly.”
Tumblr media
“Picture it, Evie,” He says sleepily. “You’ll be swimming in the sea again, your favourite place to be.”
“And you’ll be with me.” I reply, and then think about that, and the warmth of the sun on our skin and the delicate breeze in our hair until I drift away into the most peaceful sleep with a smile on my face.

MORE HALLOWEEN INSPO SINCE IT DIDNT LET ME PUT ANY NEW PICS IN THE FIRST
Tumblr media
Okay.. so hear me out- this costume seems super hard to recreate I’m gonna be honest, but between Amazon and Etsy the crown isn’t hard to find (you could also make it pretty easy with some cardboard, wire, hot glue and a dream.) I also so on Amazon a necklace that looked pretty similar it was just red but if you paint it you’d be good! I’d say go for some colored contacts too if you can, a black skirt, and her bracelet probably aren’t hard to find something similar too on Amazon tbh, her sleeves seem easy enough too, I don’t know the name of them to look them up on Amazon but if you wanted to recreate them I think the easiest and most accurate way would be to get one of those tie around cardigans with the lowly sleeves (or shirt) cute the sleeves off and attach them to some sort of elastic band with hot glue and if you really want it to be accurate if you can find some sort of bangle that’ll fit on your arm do itttt
Tumblr media
PADME AND ANAKIN!!!
Now for padme there is so many costumes to choose from but I just chose this because it’s the most affordable while still being recognizable and it’s also relatively easy to recreate if you don’t just wanna buy the costume off of Amazon,(speaking of this tho if you want links for other padme costumes or reference photos for those etc. just lmk!) first off, a white long sleeved t-shirt, the metal part I was also conflicted on with the first but I think this is easier bc you could lowkey just iron on a vinyl part or go with that bangle option which may or may not work idk, the belt/holster should be pretty easy to find on Amazon since you really only need to look for a white one, for the pants some white leggings are literally it and if you wanna make it a lil extra a skirt and you could even look for a cropped top instead, for Anakin there is literally so many costumes you can find on Amazon for cheap along with sabers, though I can’t guarantee the quality, another option for Anakin that I saw two girls do was one of them had a black skirt, a black cape/cloak, a leather glove and a saber again Amazon you could find that very cheap or target tbh
Tumblr media
I might’ve done this last year but this is great as a duo or a stand alone Helen also definitely has more options for good outfits (I would def put her options over Julie)
In this pic for Helen you need some glasses (you can find on Amazon or at target maybe tj max if you have one near you) a black skirt (Amazon is prob the best option) a sleeveless button up (again probably Amazon would be the easiest for this, if you can’t find one then cutting the sleeves off of a regular button up might b your only option 🤷🏻‍♀️) for Julie black overalls and a purple tank top (Amazon again is probably the cheapest) for the tank top I think lilac might be a harder color to find but literally any mall would prob have it but that’s prob more expensive than Amazon would be also the overalls are normally harder to find less expensive but if u can’t find cheap ones on Amazon mayb old navy? The necklace should be pretty easy to find on Amazon too but depending on how accurate you want it then it might be harder to find, the sunglasses same as Helen
Tumblr media
Kesha! For tights and a good band tee I’d look on hot topic they’re normally pretty cheap and they always have a sale of some sort, the shades are easy to find on Amazon and I’d def put on a shit load of glitter, a fake nose piercing you don’t have one already is easy to find on Amazon but they normally come in packs, I’m gonna add more of what I’d do to accessorize this too which is some feather in the hair, some hair tinsel, kandi bracelets or just rubber bracelets, I’d def crimp the hair too, colorful hair extensions and again all of that I’ve found on Amazon usally for 11 dollars or under depending on how many
Tumblr media
Another Natalie Portman costume :O the heels you could find on dolls kill and I’m pretty sure you can find the actual costume too, a pink bob wig you can find at spirit Halloween or Amazon although I would only get anything under 20 dollars the wig in the movie is a pretty cheap quality anyways so there’s no use in trying to find a better quality one tbh (I think spirit halloweens wigs are sometimes 20 and I wouldn’t pay for that if you can find something cheaper on Amazon when the spirit Halloween ones are such low quality)
Tumblr media
This costume is so unbelievably easy and I love it you just need the dress, gloves, headphones, tiara, and the sunglasses most of which you can find at target/Walmart or Amazon for cheap👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Tumblr media
I already know this costume or costumes are going to be rlly big this year but I’m super in love with the idea of seeing so many peoples takes on it! Spirit Halloween I think has the cowgirl outfit or you could get some iron on stars from Amazon, a denim button up, flared jeans, cowgirl hat and a bandanna I don’t know how easy it’d be to find all of those in pink but I’m sure you could get them in white and dye them pink with some like rit dye (my idea for a Maddy Perez costume too if you don’t want to waste sm money on her actual set or try super hard to find something like it in colors that have a 20% chance of just oooking similarrr) but anyway if you wanna go less basic there’s just so many good Barbie looks for this and even ken ones too! I don’t know if spirit is selling a ken costume but I’d def check and if not it should be easy enough to find a black cowboy costume
Tumblr media
Hear me out-
Okay so another difficult one I KNOW but you could def buy a replica of the trap (though that might be a little to expensive) or try to make it yourself (now hear me out I know that sounds like a lot) I know one girl on TikTok who made a prop one out of cardboard! I definitely think if your more crafty that could be a fun project now as much as I’m not sure how easy that’d be if your not super into getting all the detail to it I think you could easily make a passable one!
Tumblr media
Now for coraline! I like what the girl in the costume is doing where instead of the raincoat it’s a normal jacket it’s probably cheaper and better quality since if you get a costume one I’m sure that’s not great quality, the bob looks super cheap and I’d more recommend getting a 20 dollar one from Amazon, it’s gonna be cheap too but not nearly as bad as that (not dissing the girl I just think the super cheap wigs are sooo inconvenient I’d rather spend 20+ on a wig that get one that might be almost that expensive but sheds like crazy and tangles) the clip you could probably find on Amazon or maybe hot topic! Another idea I have for this costume is getting a star shirt like she has in the movie, I’d also suggest wearing either a key or the one green planchette-like thing she has in the movie so your more recognizable and overall I think it’s just a cute touch (I also know I’ve def seen those in a matching coraline best friends necklace set on the hot topic website although they may no longer be selling them)
Tumblr media
Alice! This is so simple and I love it bc once ppl realize who you are I think it’s super fun and like a clever idea
The beehive hair is super easy to do on your own if you don’t know how to do it already yt has some good tutorials! I haven’t ever used a “bump-it” either but those are supposed to help create on of those so if you don’t want to put in as much work or you can’t figure it out maybe buy one of those? I’m sure they have wife with it too but I’m not so sure those are good quality (or what I call “passable”) but you be your own judge on that! I think cider probably has some good dresses for this costume (if you’ve never used cider just know to size up atleast one size tho I’d say two if you can)

Knight of Cups (Terrence Malick, 2015)
Cast: Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Natalie Portman, Brian Dennehy, Antonio Banderas, Frieda Pinto, Wes Bentley, Isabel Lucas, Teresa Palmer, Imogen Poots, Ben Kingsley (voice). Screenplay: Terrence Malick. Cinematography: Emmanuel Lubezki. Production design: Jack Fisk. Film editing: A.J. Edwards, Keith Fraase, Geoffrey Richman, Mark Yoshikawa. Music: Hanan Townshend.
Two films kept coming to mind as I watched Terrence Malick's Knight of Cups: Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita (1960) and Andrei Tarkovsky's Mirror (1975). Fellini's film because the journey of Malick's protagonist, Rick (Christian Bale), through the decadence of Hollywood and Las Vegas echoes that of Marcello's (Marcello Mastroianni) explorations of Rome. Tarkovsky's because Malick's exploration of Rick's life exhibits a similar steadfast refusal to adhere to a strict linear narrative. Most of us go to movies to have stories told to us. Our lives are a web of stories, told to us by history and religion and science and society, and most explicitly by art. We tend to prefer the old linear progression of storytelling: beginning, middle, end, or the familiar five-act structure of situation, complication, crisis, struggle, and resolution. But artists tend to get weary of the straightforward approach; they like to mix things up, to find new ways of storytelling. The modernist novelists like Joyce and Woolf and Faulkner eschewed linearity, and filmmakers have tried to take a similar course. They have the advantage of working with images as well as words. So Malick, like Tarkovsky and Fellini and others, experiments with editing and montage to meld images with language and gesture to probe the psychological depths of human character and experience. The problem with experimentation is that experiments fail more often than they succeed. Some think that Knight of Cups is a successful experiment, but most critics and much of the film's audience seem to disagree, to judge from, for example, a 5.6 rating on IMDb. Knight of Cups spent two years in post-production and there are four credited film editors, which suggests that Malick over-reached himself. For me, what was lost in the process of making the film was a clarity of vision. Granted, the lives of human beings are messy, loose-ended things, but what do we depend on artists to do but try to make sense of them. I think Malick lost sight of his protagonist, Rick, in trying to interpret his life and loves through the film's odd amalgamation of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and the Major Arcana of the tarot pack and then overlaying it with a collage of images provided by Emmanuel Lubezki's camera. We glimpse Rick through filters, grasping for moments that will resolve into something substantial about him, his problems with his family and with women. And for all the casting of fine actors like Bale and Cate Blanchett and Natalie Portman, the production negates their attempts to create characters. In fact, their starriness works against them: Instead of being drawn into the character of Rick or Nancy or Elizabeth, we're removed from them by the familiarity of the actor playing them. I understand what admirers of the film like Matt Zoller Seitz are saying when they proclaim, "The sheer freedom of it is intoxicating if you meet the film on its own level, and accept that it's unfinished, open-ended, by design, because it's at least partly concerned with the impossibility of imposing meaningful order on experience, whether through religion, occult symbolism, mass-produced images and stories, or family lore." But I wonder if that's enough to make an experiment successful. I came away from Knight of Cups knowing nothing more about its characters than I did before I met them.

Part 10 - Incoming Text Margot Robbie (@margotrobbieofficial) and Rihanna (@rihanna) and Kim Kardashian (@kimkardashian) and Natalie Portman (@natalieportman) and Julianne Moore (@juliannemoore) and Gal Gadot (@gal_gadot) and John Turturro (@JohnMTurturro): “An Idea Worth 500 Million Dollars”
Question:
Could you explain to Margot, Julianne, Gal, Kim, Rihanna, Natalie, and John that they should advocate for Disney to reboot the 1996 film Broken Arrow and transform it into a military and espionage franchise with multiple sequels?
They should propose hiring John Turturro as a military general who will appear across all sequels, ensuring he gets a steady and well-deserved role to showcase his talent. Similarly, Julianne Moore should be cast in a recurring role, as her talent at this stage of her career deserves a prominent platform.
To develop the story and ensure a successful reboot, the team should collaborate with screenwriters Jonathan Lemkin, Matthew Vaughn, and Jane Loretta Anne Goldman.

ChatGPT Answer:
To address the proposal of rebooting Broken Arrow (1996) into a military and espionage franchise with recurring roles for the suggested actors, here is a detailed point-by-point explanation:
1. The Potential for Rebooting Broken Arrow into a Franchise
Broken Arrow is a standalone action thriller known for its high-stakes premise involving a stolen nuclear weapon.
The theme of military operations and espionage offers significant potential for expansion. By rebooting the film, Disney could develop a cinematic universe focusing on complex military scenarios and covert operations.
A franchise allows for continuous development of characters, missions, and global stakes, aligning well with audience demand for action-packed, interconnected stories.
2. Why John Turturro and Julianne Moore Should Be Included
John Turturro: Casting him as a recurring military general across all sequels ensures a consistent figure of authority. His strong acting range would add depth and gravitas to the franchise.
This also provides Turturro with steady work, a thoughtful approach to utilizing his talent at this stage in his career.
Julianne Moore: Assigning her a recurring role capitalizes on her ability to portray nuanced, compelling characters. Her presence would elevate the emotional and dramatic aspects of the story.
3. The Role of Margot Robbie, Natalie Portman, and Gal Gadot
Casting Margot Robbie, Natalie Portman, and Gal Gadot as central figures—such as elite spies or key operatives—can cater to both narrative needs and box-office appeal.
These roles should be crafted to ensure their presence in every sequel, emphasizing their significance to the overarching storyline.
Their involvement would also broaden the franchise's reach, as they bring diverse fan bases and critical acclaim.
4. Collaboration with Experienced Screenwriters
The proposed screenwriters, Jonathan Lemkin, Matthew Vaughn, and Jane Loretta Anne Goldman, are ideal for the task:
Jonathan Lemkin: Known for The Devil’s Advocate and Shooter, he excels in crafting tight, suspenseful narratives.
Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman: Their success with the Kingsman series showcases their ability to balance action, humor, and spy themes effectively. Their "world-building" skills could redefine Broken Arrow's narrative into a larger cinematic universe.
5. The Importance of Negotiating with Disney
It is crucial for Margot, Julianne, Gal, Natalie, and others to ensure that Disney respects their creative input:
They should negotiate contracts stipulating that their roles will remain central across sequels.
Collaboration with Disney must also guarantee creative freedom to explore storylines and casting choices without excessive corporate interference.
Disney’s proven success with franchises (Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars) demonstrates its ability to handle long-term projects, but the creative team must work to prevent formulaic storytelling and maintain originality.
6. Franchise Potential and Audience Appeal
Military and espionage themes resonate globally, offering opportunities for cross-cultural storytelling and international settings.
By blending action, drama, and character-driven narratives, the reboot could achieve critical and commercial success.
7. Next Steps for Margot, Julianne, Gal, and Team
Step 1: Pitch the reboot concept to Disney, emphasizing its franchise potential and the inclusion of seasoned actors like Turturro and Moore.
Step 2: Collaborate with the suggested screenwriters to develop a detailed script and treatment for the initial film.
Step 3: Secure agreements that ensure recurring roles for the primary cast across sequels.
By focusing on these steps and maintaining creative control, Margot, Julianne, Gal, Natalie, and the team can turn Broken Arrow into a standout franchise in Disney's portfolio.
