"Grandpa! Get down!" Alexander yelled in panic! His breathing was flushed and his eyes were reflecting fear of what it has just seen.

His caring, worried, and frightened expressions seemed to have melted into one and those around him just couldn't help but feel sucked into its influence.

Mark and his camera got close into his son's aura and focused its recording on the boy's expression.

The silence in the street scenery and set was pervading but it didn't last for long as Mark had already signaled 'ok' with his free hand.

"Nice take, Alexander." Mark sounded out and handed the zoom recorder to a cameraman. He can't help but just nod a while after ruminating about his son's improved skill while being shot with a camera.

The regular crew members could only nod at the fearsome improvement shown by the little actor while the newcomers are still in shock.

Alexander had been in the set for a while but they still couldn't get a handle on the subtle influence that the boy was giving them.

"Don't try to get used to it because it may not be the very limits it would go." These were the words that an older cameraman had for them and the newbies can't help but still be mesmerized by the little actor.

Be it star power or something more than that, James Smith may not be the only thing that would shock and awe Alexander fans all over the world.

It was not just luck that such a charming child became the face of movies that overtook the norms of the film industry! There were deep-rooted reasons that made people come back to the cinema and enjoy his presence.

These newcomers hadn't realized it when they were watching Kid Psychic themselves but they too have been mesmerized and compelled to follow the young psychic's story without second thoughts.

The character and story were interesting in themselves, then the actor who played the role and lived the character was all the more impressive and interesting.

All the people who were at the production of the Kid Psychic films were sure that 650 million USD wasn't the peak of the movie with Alexander's unnatural charm at the helm, despite Alexander's doubts on the subject matter.

Young Alex had no clue about what the thoughts of the film crew and the adults had on him and his acting ability. All his focus was on doing his part and making sure that he won't be publicly reprimanded by his director of a father.

Without his noticing and to his credit, every NG and retake of his scenes had been either due to his fellow actor's mistakes, set discrepancies that needed removing, or the mistakes that cameramen would have when being drawn in by his influencing aura.

For this film, the cyborg grandfather and his grandson would be constantly under fire by the newly cybernetic humans.

For these new cyborgs, the AI from a prime source was controlling them and they had no free will like how Sullivan and Christopher Lloyd's cyborg forms had.

Sullivan's cyborg core was a target along with Lloyd's core which was trapped in an orange thermos bottle.

Spoilers are already too late but Psycho Cyborg would be beaten in the first movie and the grandson character would be left to tend to the unstable core all throughout the second movie.

It is pretty irresponsible to have a child on board such a mission but the quick ambushes from the new cyborgs would force such situations into the narrative.

It wouldn't be a Hollywood movie if everything makes sense!

Although Alexander would be outclassed by his fellow movie characters, the cyborg-cored thermos bottle would have surprises of its own.

This is why aside from the many robot dummies that the design team prepared, different copies and types of the orange thermos bottle are also presented on set.

In a way, this second movie is meant to sell the Cosmic orange thermos as a blatant advertisement. The toy business needs to branch out into other merchandise to make extra profit, after all.

Again, it wouldn't be a Hollywood movie without any indirect or direct forms of product advertisement.

As for the life lessons to be imparted in Hollywood movies, it would be to never underestimate or alienate anyone.

The first movie is about not alienating crazy and mentally-ill people while never underestimating any random, senile elderly like Old Sullivan.

This second movie would be to never underestimate those with dwarfism, gigantism, the blind, the crippled, and those in a coma.

One never knows when any of those people can randomly transform their shunned body parts and disabilities into weapons.

Those in wheelchairs could be super fast cyborgs with rocket power.

Those who are blind and with eyepatches could have hyper-powered rifles and terrifying long-range accuracies.

Those who are dwarfed and elvish could be bombs and versatile weapons in little human forms.

Those tall and basket net-like giants could actually be stretchable cyborgs that slice everything their way.

By the end of the movie, society may have to rethink how they approach the social pariahs. Whether it be a good development or the deterioration of the current status quo, one can never know.

At least, this Hollywood movie would do its part in spreading awareness of the cause.

Due to the character descriptions, Alexander got to meet a lot of interesting new co-stars. They all perfectly met the conditions of how he designed the characters to be and he couldn't help but applaud their stories.

The blind actor is actually only blind on one side because Mark wanted to cast someone who would be able to actually see the movie he is in.

However, that didn't make his story any lesser as the half-side blind man was an army veteran who lost his eye from being a sniper on the battlefield.

His sharpshooter acting need not be honed by training and be beautified by movie editing as his experience was more than enough to convey on the motion picture.

The crippled actors such as those in wheelchairs, those with no legs, and lost their arms also need no training and movie magic as they are army veterans themselves.

While the permanently little guy, the unnaturally tall guy, and the comatosed guy weren't really part of the armed forces, they still had stories of their own.

Those with dwarfism and gigantism are still heavily bullied groups while the comatose guy has a disorder that makes his body not produce much fat, hence his extremely thin and 'coma-like' physique.

Even though Alexander himself is a greedy boy out for money, he isn't a monster that would snub people due to their disabilities and flaws.

All in all, the people he worked with on this movie were pretty unique and awe-aspiring on their own.

This is just going to be plain horrendous, silly, and more disgusting than my main trashy work.

You've been warned!
