“Actually if I really want to continue studying the two of you for this script idea then that sounds like a good idea,” he responded, folding his hands together on the table and getting his thoughts in order to explain to Jack. “It just popped in my head when you began mentioning your story so I want to ask permission before I go through with it.”
How he hoped Jack would say yes. “I would love to take your life story and make it a good movie – dramatic and romantic; if you’ll let allow it. Names and events will be changed to protect the two of you but I feel it could be a real blockbuster. And don’t get me wrong I mean I would love to meet your fiancee as well just because she sounds like a lovely person. What do you say?”
Jack nearly dropped his drink. His brilliant green eyes snapped open wide, and he gaped at the other blue man. “Y-y-you … you w-want to make a movie about us?!” he spluttered.
In the back of his mind, he thought with amusement, At least I know there’s an actor who looks enough like me to play the part. Mostly, though, he was just shocked. Fame was something Jack still hadn’t gotten used to. As incredibly flattering as this was, it was also very, very overwhelming, even for his impressive mind.
He needed Katelynn. She handled these kind of things better than he did. Realizing Juniper was still waiting for an answer, he said, “I’d say I need to talk to her about it first. M-maybe if the three of us could meet sometime, we could discuss it more?”
“Oh of course!” he agreed, realizing there was a missing third party member who needed to be involved since her part of the story would also be told. “It’s just an idea though and it would still need to be researched through interviews from the two of you, presenting the idea to a movie studio, getting approval for the idea by the higher ups so who knows if it will go into fruition but I’d love to try if your fiancee is on board. Do you think you could venture a guess how she might feel about it?”
He knew his fiancee, didn’t he? If he could get a yes based on Jack first then he could at least present the idea. People would love the story.
Jack nodded in understanding. He didn’t have much first-hand experience with the movie industry, but from what he’d heard, getting a production started was a long and tricky process.
“I think she’d probably agree,” he said. “Like I told you, she’s much more of a people-person than I am." Sometimes too much, he couldn’t help thinking. "I’ll talk to her about it as soon as I can, and let you know. And maybe we can arrange to meet at the same time?"
