High above the Hollywood skyline sits the Producer's office. Like a modern Olympus of glass and steel it looks down upon the world it controls. From there, thunderbolts of fame and failure are sent forth and powerful careers are little more than playthings. The Producer runs this town, the sleazy factory of dreams, and his will is the will of God's.
He is a lanky man in his late 50's, with a weathered and sallow face that speaks of years of sleepless work. Cold, deep set eyes, pronounced ears, and a messy haircut give him a considerably unattractive look. His personality more than match his face in ugliness - but he hadn't become so powerful because he was handsome or kind.
The setting sun was burning bright red on the horizon as he checked the time yet again. Tonight he had arranged a particular meeting - an elite audition, as it were. Scarlett Johanson was coming to his office to trial for a part in his latest production. It was a challenging role sure to win her accolades and he knew she would be unable to resist the temptation. This was despite her noted and outspoken distaste for him personally, and the fact most other A-list actresses in town had turned it down. The part was that of a nymphomanical stripper, and numerous starlets baulked at the gratuitous sexuality of it all.
But the Producer knew that the truly narcissistic actresses would be drawn to such obvious Oscar-bait. As an able manipulator he knew exactly how to provoke the powerful pride and vanity of women like Scarlett. Once she was within his lair, their little game could begin. The insolent tramp would have nowhere to run, and he would make her the star in a private feature of his own...
