I’m in Hollywood

rs for them, right?”

“Bingo!” Eric smiled and snapped his fingers.

The two of them laughed together, and then Jonathan Demme said, “Oh right, Eric, Miss Murdoch contacted me about the script of 'The Silence of the Lambs'.
I heard you're interested in it.
I've agreed to it.”

Eric was stunned.
Jonathan Demme must have had a reason for bringing up this topic.
He asked, “Is there a problem?”

“Yes,” Jonathan Dime nodded, “Miss Murdoch said that you recommended Judy Foster to play the female lead.
But after I read the script a few times, I think Michelle Pfeiffer might be more appropriate.” Eric recalled and quickly remembered the profile of this woman.
Michelle Pfeiffer has good acting skills and has been nominated for several Oscars for her previous roles, but she has no representative works.
Moreover, this blond beauty and Claire in Judy Foster's “The Silence of the Lambs” have little similarity.

Although Eric wished that Judy Foster would star in the lead role, he didn't interfere much if Jonathan Demme insisted.
Nonetheless, he noticed that the money spent on buying and adapting the rights for the movie seemed slightly higher than usual, but he didn't think the little girl had secretly spent three million US dollars.
Even if he had found out, he would only have spanked the little girl's butt and been done with it; he still didn't know that Drew had a 30% stake in TG Films.

“Why do you think Michelle Pfeiffer is suitable for the role?” After pondering for a while, Eric still couldn't understand, so he posed the question to Jonathan Demme.

I have seen several of Michelle Pfeiffer's films, especially her Oscar-nominated performances in last year's “Dangerous Liaisons” and “The Witches of Eastwick” with Jack Nicholson, Cher, and Susan Sarandon.
Pfeiffer is a very versatile actress, and her acting is more than sufficient to bring diverse characters to life.
I think she could make the character of Clarice even more perfect.

Eric nodded, as Jonathan Demme had become a respected director with the success of “The Silence of the Lambs”.
Although he knew that if he expressed his opinion, Jonathan, who was still grateful to him for giving him the opportunity, would likely take his advice.
However, Eric was no longer a producer, and getting involved in this matter would only lead to unpopularity.

Maybe we can also consider the idea of what would have happened if the lead actress of “The Silence of the Lambs” had been replaced with Michelle Pfeiffer – would it have had the same effect? It's an interesting thought, isn't it?

According to Jonathan Demme's style, the movie would be almost the same as the original one, replacing the lead actress to prove if it's the character that makes the actor, or the actor that makes the character.
Eric and Jonathan discussed the idea, and Eric suggested that if Jonathan could convince Liz to take the lead role, he could go ahead with his plan.
Jonathan nodded confidently and after a few words, the two parted ways.
Eric then meandered through the crowd at the party, passing by a dining table, when he inadvertently heard a few people gathered together seemingly talking about something related to “The Others”.
He then curiously joined in.
