In Hollywood Pictures 2, players are responsible for every facet of the movie making process from script to screen. Screenplays canbe bought from aspiring writers or written yourself for a truly personal project. Once financial backing hasbeen secured from the bank, hiring your star, co-star and supporting roles are next on the list of priorities,along with choosing the right camera crew, make-up artists and special effects team.
The scruffy movie studio site you inherit at the beginning of the game can be expanded to help ease the costs ofbig movie production. In addition to your basic production house, special effects studios, acting colleges andeven a fire department can be constructed to quell those inevitable pyrotechnical accidents on set, which cancost you valuable days filming!
As with any major movie project, yours must be on budget, on time and screened to rapturous applause. Startingwith the ambition of producing a film with a 10 rating, aspiring Almodovars can also target a place for one oftheir films in the all-time charts, and not forgetting to be in the academys mind when Oscar time comes around.It can be a rotten business thatll chew you up and spit you out, but stay focused, keep the hits rolling and itwill be your handprints outside Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.
