Chapter 9: Movie's Response
The next day of the premiere, there are countless reviews printed in the newspapers, magezines, etc about "Romeo and Juliet". Majority of the reviews are positive.
"An excellent remake of Shakespeare's classical tragedy."
"The most beautiful Romeo and Juliet of all time."
"Director Baz Luhrmann has presented us an excellent work in his second movie. He showed us a reboot remake of an epic tragedy in the most simplest but heartbreaking way. But the main success of the movie is indispensable from its actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Eve Thompson.
We all know Leonardo DiCaprio, he is an emerging talent in Hollywood who has already given us few good works like "Total Eclipse of love" and "Basketball diaries". Let's talk about our Juliet Eve Thompson. She is a newcomer in Hollywood and this is her first work. We have found that although a newcomer to Hollywood, she has been performing on Broadway since the age of eight. She is also a Ballerina and has already performed on the Ballet stage. Hollywood has gotten a genius newcomer who has given a fabulous performance in her first work "Romeo and Juliet."
"Birth of another Clarke Gable and Vivian Leigh." by Vanity Fair.
"Hollywood has never lacked excellent actors, but has always been short of excellent on-screen couples. First we had Clarke Gable and Vivian Leigh, and then came decades later Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Whenever these couples came together, it would be a blast. They have the best on-screen chemistry and people love them madly. Now finally we have another couple who gives the same passion, love and intoxicating feeling on the screen again. Leonardo DiCaprio and Eve Thompson are perfect together and made for each other."
There are countless praises surrounding the movie and especially its actors. Eve has become from a unknown face to the best newcomer of the year. Critics are praising her and people are queuing up at the theaters to see the movie. Of course, there are not all praises, there are also some bad reviews.
"A ruined Shakespeare tragedy."
"Eve Thompson is too sexy to be Juliet."
"Leonardo DiCaprio is a failed actor who has even started making such bad movies."
These bad reviews are nothing in front of the mountain of praises and positive reviews of the movie. As a result, people from the whole North America are lining up to see the movie.
This all has nothing to do with Eve for now. She has come to the set of "Titanic" to finally audition for the role of Rose. As "Romeo and Juliet" has started performing excellently on the box office, Fox also kept it's words and called Eve for the audition. They are in fact very happy to get Eve Thompson for the movie. Eve and Leonardo's pairing has already become famous, in this way, they might be able to use the fame of new best on-screen couple to get the movie work on box office.
Eve got out of the car at "Rosalind beach". Looking at the huge Steel replica in front of her which has been only been half done, she sighed. She finally reached the first step of achieving her short term goal. Eve went to the the crew and told about her audition. The crew member went inside for confirmation and came after a while.
"This way, Miss Eve."
He took Eve to inside the crew. As she went inside, she saw the famous James Cameron and a blond boy was standing beside him. When the boy looked at Eve, he blurted: "Why are you here?"
Eve smiled: "Of course, to audition for the movie."
Leonardo DiCaprio's mood is very complicated. He finally got a little away from the shadow's of Eve Thompson, and now she is also here. After getting rejected without even proposing, he finally moved on from her shadows and now they might have to cooperate again. He's both happy and a little sad.
James Cameron looked at the girl Eve Thompson and nodded. He has seen the audition clips of this girl before and he has to say he's a little impressed. She has covered almost all the original traces of her normal sexy vibe and has used her lively, rebellious but elegant and free spirited temperament. These all are the qualities which he expects from Rose. It seems that as if this girl understands Rose better than him. And looking at those dyed Celtic red hair, they are what he imagined on Rose.She has become the rose which he had in his hand.
James, he himself is satisfied with Eve Thompson as the Rose in movie, but he didn't give any proper reply before. After all, Eve Thompson was a newcomer back then without any work. He understands that it is impossible for studio to select the heroine of such a big budget movie a newcomer. But now the situation has changed, Eve Thompson has debuted successfully with a movie as a lead heroine who's box office has crossed 50 million $ Mark in just a week after the release of the movie.
Now at least his casting worries are finished. He has found both the male and female lead. As for wether testing their compatibility togther, it is a joke. Don't you see people have already given them the title of next "Clarke Gable and Vivian Leigh" and "Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan". Leonardo DiCaprio and Eve Thompson are perfect together on-screen.
He can finally show off to those who despised his movie before. Drew Barrymore, the god daughter of his friend Spielberg rejected him. Gwenyth Partlow said she is not suitable for the role, and many more. Do they think he doesn't understand that they despise his movie. Now he has finally gotten a Rose much better than them who has both the better acting skills and box office than them.
