Luna was shocked. "Someone actually gave up on Mr. Levine's movie?"
"Tell me about it!" the cinematographer ranted. "According to the contract, that guy was supposed to be on set for two months, with one month dedicated to military training—but he quit after just a week, claiming he was 'unwell.' The truth? He went to film a romance drama instead."
Avery's curiosity was piqued. Quirky Steve real name Steve Levine—was a renowned director, famous for his action-packed films: self-defense, gunfights, police procedurals, and more. As a screenwriter, she couldn't help but ask, "With Mr. Levine's reputation, plenty of actors would jump at the chance. How can't he find a replacement?"
The cinematographer explained that the role was a crucial supporting part—minimal screen time but demanding physical scenes. The actor had to perform intense combat sequences in harsh locations: deserts, mountains, forests, and snow-capped peaks.
