"The whole future of the film rests on that first look," Joel says and sets up the screening. "I just wanted you to weigh in and do what you wanted," Kirk tells John. Joel is worried how upset Chris is going to be because of not being invited once he finds out.
They're doing more promotional shoots now that Ben is on set to do it. "This is a lot better looking that the real Chris Moore," he jokes at Moore's prosthetic head for the particular commercial. He's shooting the promos and episode introductions for him. Chris Moore shows up on the set to see what's going on with the promo and for his part on it, too.
Ben and Chris are talking about the film. "They liked it," Chris says of some of the studio seeing it. "Yeah, they're saying they want to screen the whole movie on Thursday," Ben tells him. "Apparently, Gulager was going to show the movie to some people," Chris says, "I had not explained to them that that wasn't a greenlight in screening." He calls and asks for Mike or Joel. "I want to be in the first wave of people who see the movie," he says. He talks to Aaron, getting angrier by the moment. "I want to give you a piece of advice," he tells him, "Don't ever try to schedule anything at LivePlanet that doesn't invite me."
"It made me think they were trying to exclude me from the process," Chris explains. Aaron screwed up beyond belief, and he tells him so, before asking for someone in charge. He demands to talk to somebody who made this decision. "I really wanted to see it. I have a lot riding on this movie," he calms down a tiny bit, and he hangs up to go back to talk to Ben. "Good work!" Ben jokes before going back on set to shoot their promos.
"Right now our goal is to get a good solid cut on this movie," Joel says. "He's got to stay awake and get through it." However, in the editing room, John is clearly bored by the process and he falls asleep more than once during the day. He eventually falls out of his chair because he fell asleep, breaking the chair in the process and laughing at himself.
That night they're having their producer screening. Ben comes in to see it, and Chris also comes in to see it. It started out with just four or five people supposed to be there, and unfortunately, a bunch more people showed up. John introduces it and tells them how rough the cut is nervously, which Chris notices. "I think there's a lot of potential," Chris says, "I think there's still scenes that need to be worked on, but my general feeling was excitement. Let's stay focused on making it a better movie." Nick from Dimension was happy with it, too. Ben says he wasn't expecting much either, surprised by how polished it came off even for the first screening. "I think you did a great job," Chris says. "I think Bob is really going to like the movie," Ben tells John. He also gives him some ideas on how to fix a certain section that needs to probably be cut.
"My first instinct was to reshoot the monsters at the beginning," Ben notes, eating another slice of pizza. He talks about maybe changing the way it's edited in the beginning and end in order to make it more exciting and to make the creatures scarier, which is a big problem. "This isn't going to be a walk in the park," Joel sighs. "I just feel you were really the right choice for the movie," Ben admits. "There said very positive things which made me feel really good," John smiles the biggest smile of the whole process. They all now have to get the next screening ready for Bob Weinstein, who has the power to say yes or no as to whether the film should continue being produced and put together.
