The production team, for the sake of convenience with expenses and such, held the routine script reading session in Cabo San Lucas.
In the conference room of a seaside hotel, the main cast and crew of the production team gathered for the first time.
The most powerful trio in the crew comprised Craven, Aga, and Martin, who represented the investors.
There was also Sophia, who came for a vacation and to join in the fun.
But the female King Kong was just there out of curiosity, not saying a word.
Martin didn't recognize any of the other actors.
The actress playing his wife Lane in the film was named Vanessa Shaw, a child star.
Martin chatted with her to get acquainted, as they were to portray a married couple.
"I have a pretty serious reading disorder," Vanessa said with an embarrassed smile upon hearing Martin bring up discussing their scenes, "I often rely on my assistant to help me read the script."
