In the president's office of Warner Bros., Ellen Horn listened to what Thomas was saying on the phone, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant.
An invitation she had personally extended had been declined.
Although the rejection was diplomatically put, with the excuse of preparing to compete for roles in Nolan's and Finch's projects, Ellen Horn still felt uncomfortable.
It also flatly declared the failure of her Plan A.
There was a knock on the office door, and Paul Haggis entered, sitting across from Ellen and asking, "I heard there was some unexpected situation?"
"Martin Davis has given his response, saying the schedule doesn't fit and declined our invitation," Ellen said without any emotional inflection, as if she was an observer outlining the facts of what had occurred: "The day before yesterday, Louise Mel called me, saying that Pacific Pictures has decided to invest in another major Warner project, and therefore cannot allocate the funds."
