White Cell 1 Weaves His Own Backstory

A RECENT EXCHANGE BETWEEN THE PRODUCER AND THE ACTOR WHO PLAYS WHITE CELL 1.
Warning: Spoiler Alert!

Nicholas: Did I... Did I just assassinate CEO? Don't we work for him?

me: No. You shoot into the crowd to try to set up the workers union so that it looks like they made the attempt. Only you get busted because Nerve 110345 took an illegal camera into the hall.

Nicholas: Ah.

me: Tada!

Nicholas: Stupid Nerve 110345.

me: Don't worry. He dies.

Nicholas: Yay! Justice!

me: Yeah, we already killed him a couple of weeks ago. Ha!

Nicholas: When do we shoot the love scene between White and WhiteCell1 that finally resolves all the smoldering sexual tension between them?

me: That's the sequel, silly.

Nicholas: Right, right. My fault.

me: She IS pretty hot — despite being so mean.

Nicholas: Do you think that the audience is going to get from my performance that I'm not performing my job to the best of my ability because I'm worried about White, who is carrying my child?

me: I think you're that good. Yes. Of course, only seriously brilliant audience members will catch the subtlety of your performance.

Nicholas: I just hope I'm not underdoing it to compensate for the fact that I'm secretly a double-agent who has trying to bring down the system from the inside, but fell for White and now is lost inside my own lies.

me: Damn, we should have let you do a rewrite.

Nicholas: That's why I don't kill Hermes myself... I can't bring myself to do it. I also don't really give a kill order, because then I'd be liable for her death. Listen, I've got a very complicated character backstory all built up. It's a very delicate house of cards. :)

me: Is Hermes carrying your child, too? Player!

Nicholas: No.. see.. that's the reveal in Act 3. Hermes IS the child of White and I, sent back into the past to bring down the system with my undercover help, so White and I can finally be together in a rule-free System.

me: Gotcha. Far more interesting!

Nicholas: Well, if you're watching carefully, it's the only obvious solution.

me: Clearly. You need to write, mister!

Nicholas: lol
Only bit-part character backstory. It's my specialty. :)

me: Nice. Can I write this into our blog?

Nicholas: lol
I release all artistic rights to the above details to the System Film, Inc.

me: Perfect.

Location Scouting

The System Shoot: Done with Day 10

Shooting has been going well, and we're excited about the footage — despite the chaotically tight schedule (my fault, of course). Unfortunately, I have as yet not found a way to upload numerous photos to blogger simultaneously, so please see The System fan page on Facebook or @thesystemfilm on Twitter or TwitPic for updates and photos.
