The Cutting Room (2004)
“Annie Chin sat in her usual booth, finishing granola and reading over a stack of papers. Though Ben’s ex-assistant sported a hip new haircut, streaked with a bit of blond, her attractiveness was still more lifelike than the—admittedly amazing—female mannequins who surrounded her.
The mole on her cheek had now been surgically removed. And the scars on her wrists had all but healed.
“So, it wasn’t you?” I said.
I slid over a printout of Abner Cooley’s latest posting, about the shocking death of o...ne of Hollywood’s richest and most mocked movie stars.
PRINT IT!
I guess we all have different definitions for what’s “natural,” but those close to the source tell me that Ben Williams’s death was hardly from the “natural causes” that authorities—and most media outlets—claimed. (What is a natural death for a forty-something-year-old, anyway?) My people tell me it was definitely something unnatural in his system that caused Ben mortal pain.
Speaking of unnatural, studio spies allege that Ben’s unfinished film, Terra Nova, will be completed as planned, with a little script rewrite here and a little digital replacement of Ben’s face there.MoreLess
