They were just one step away from wrapping up and moving into the editing phase, and now Lydia Bell says she's done filming. Isn't this just messing with them?
The investor has thrown in millions, and now with this halt, the previous millions are all going to waste!
The main issue is Jeremy Payne's schedule. If they have to recast Sophia's role, they will also need to reschedule Jeremy. Actors like Jeremy, who are popular, are not easy to book. As far as the Director knows, Jeremy's schedule is already packed until next year. It's impossible for him to postpone the film until next year!
This is exactly why the Director is sweating nervously. He spent half the day talking with Lydia's Manager, using both sweet words and rational analysis. Lydia's Manager acted like she was on explosives, refusing to listen to a single word and kept repeating two words — not filming!
Isn't this just screwing with them?
