Hamada chimed in, "I watched the trailer for 'Shark Beach.' It's not hard to tell from the various previews that this is a film with simple scenes, characters, and story. Martin is just using a gimmicky approach to filmmaking."
He paused, then turned to ask, "Although Warner Bros. now has the rights to the project, we still have the capacity to intervene. Should we remind them not to let Martin write, direct, and star in it himself?"
Kevin Tsujihara, equally skeptical of Martin's directing abilities, thought for a moment and pragmatically suggested, "Let's wait. 'Shark Beach' will be released soon. We'll see how the box office and reviews turn out. After all, the market is the final judge of a movie's success."
Hamada commented, "I will keep an eye on 'Shark Beach.'
There was something he kept to himself, though; he hoped that Martin Davis would take a hard fall this time.
