Nicole set a breakfast meeting for the entire crew and cast of “A Dog Saved My Life”. We are in a state of shock and disbelief. This is no movie. This is life.
After breakfast Nicole asks for quiet announcing she will be cancelling filming. She will pay all of us as if the project had been completed. A huge moan ripples throughout the crowd.
Mel Gibson stands up and asks for quiet and in a hush he speaks,” You are my family during this project. Our family has suffered a tremendous loss yesterday. Dearest Poofy the Poodle down the throat of a Saltie, Russell Crowe having his arm ripped off and Martin Malivoire hovering between life and death. Many of you have been through hard times on a film set. Outside the walls of this villa there are hundreds of media types covering a huge story. I do not want to be calculating but do you realize the amount of publicity this incident has garnered. HUGE. Aside from the publicity “A Dog Saved My Life” has important messages to convey. Domestic and canine abuse. Mental health. To cancel production means these messages will have to be told later but is later too late? With all deference to Nicole I call a vote of whether the film should be cancelled”.
The vote was unanimous to continue filming. Before Nicole could speak Martin Malivoire appears on the screen from The Darwin Memorial Hospital. Apparently he had been mumbling “MY GAMAY” after the anesthesia wore off. 49 stitches required and a bone reset. The poor man has glazed eyes and a bit of saliva dribbling down his chin. And you know what he was asking? When he can start preparing for the special effect shoots. What a trooper! There is applause for this brave man but many are asking is “Gamay” Malivoire’s wife? Penny says she will explain later but that it is not morphine induced.
Nicole receives a call from physicians for Russell Crowe and the beer cooler stored severed arm has been reattached. Whether he can ever appear in a gladiator ring again is unknown.
Nicole steps up to the podium. Film begins shooting tomorrow at 9 a.m.
