Warner Bros. Studios, code-named the "Rory's First Kiss" project, was undergoing pre-production preparations.
A grey office building became the headquarters for the crew.
Thomas drove an electric cart, taking Martin towards the crew headquarters and picked up Louise on the way.
Martin asked, "Dear, has the joint investment meeting for the project ended?"
Louise replied succinctly, "It's pretty much settled. The production budget is 180 million US Dollars. Warner Bros. will handle distribution, with DC Comics and Legendary Pictures co-producing. Along with Warner Bros., Pacific Pictures, a few smaller companies, and The Nolans are also participating in the investment."
She adjusted her black-rimmed glasses, "The project's theatrical run is set for three years in North America, after which Warner has the mandatory option to buy out all online and offline rights."
Martin asked a key question, "Warner Bros. is also involved in the investment?"
