1997 ended, and it was now January 1998, a fresh start to a new year.
"I remember this is also the month when we pitched the project to Uni-versus Pictures two years ago, back in 1996. I was a bit nervous at that time," Henry said to Wyatt.
The director shook his head slowly.
"We made a deal with Uni-versus Pictures in December 1995. I remember it was three days before the Christmas holidays," Wyatt reminded him.
"You're right. Looks like my memory's a bit cloudy these days, probably from juggling two projects," Henry nodded.
After a serious talk, Henry decided to work with Wyatt for the second time. He had read the script and found the theme funny and entertaining, with its absurd humor and playful jabs at the horror genre. Still, he felt the movie might offend some people due to its unapologetic comedic style, maybe even provoke a lawsuit.
However, after contacting Wyatt's entertainment lawyer, Henry's worries disappeared almost instantly. The lawyer explained in detail all the legal protections in place. The movie was a parody, fully protected by law. Relieved, Henry could now focus purely on the creative aspects.
That day, the two were scheduled to meet the executives to pitch the project in one of Uni-versus Pictures' largest conference rooms. Depending on their schedules, they might also meet the Chairman and CEO.
