    The filming of  continued at a slower pace than what was ideal for a production, but every detail was completed. The important thing was that they were at the final stretch of the shoot, being chased by two massive Tyrannosaurus Rexes in the jungle. This time, the rain poured down on the entire cast like torrents from a relentless storm.

    Billy felt a new kind of irritation as mosquitoes bit at his skin. He took a deep breath while everyone around him was slightly anxious at the sight of the fantasy coming to life—the dinosaurs.

    - It’s the funniest thing when a dinosaur tries to lick you, - Vanessa Lee remarked.

    - Well, that’s not for science to decide. That’s up to the production team. Maybe they want to add that extra touch of fear,- Julianne Moore commented.

    Much younger than he remembered, her cheeks were flushed, and her dark red hair, under the light, gleamed a striking crimson. She carried herself with serene grace.

    - We survived till the end, - Julianne said, clapping hands with the other girls as they played a hand game—a preferred way to keep the younger girl entertained. Julianne had a knack for keeping her focused enough to ensure she stayed engaged for the next scene.

    They couldn’t change out of their wet clothes to maintain continuity, a crucial aspect in the immersive nature of the film. They had to run through what remained of a small set from the previous movie. Apparently, both Steven Spielberg and Billy had envisioned a trilogy—like —but in 1993, the idea had been completely rejected. The decision had deeply frustrated Spielberg, who scrapped the project and left the abandoned set on the nearby Hawaiian island, which had originally been built for the planned trilogy.

    After the so-called , which still brought in over a billion dollars at the box office—let alone the merchandising profits, which multiplied that figure tenfold—Universal was scrambling to course-correct. They wanted the sequel to be done with absolute diligence. But the old fox wouldn’t budge; Spielberg had only one demand—that they help him establish DreamWorks in collaboration.

    Once studio head Meyer accepted the deal, Spielberg was moved by the gesture and set everything in motion for . He assembled his teams and pushed the production forward as quickly as possible, even as  had already started filming—a movie Billy was also involved in, splitting his investment between DreamWorks and the project.

    - How ridiculous is that? - the girl laughed. - I mean, what a massive tongue! Do dinosaurs even have tongues, or is that just our imagination? Well, it doesn’t matter—I think I’ll get some rest. - She took a sip of water and grabbed a few biscuits.

    Across the room, Billy took a deep breath while Monica flipped through one of his books. This time, she was engrossed in , holding the Italian edition, her avid reader’s curiosity in full swing.

    - Next week, we’ll be filming some scenes in Los Angeles. We just need to wrap things up here, then we can head to San Jose and relax. I want us to go to a barbecue and sleep all day, - Billy said to Monica. She was still absorbed in her book but looked up and nodded.

    - I had to go to Italy. -

    - Now, your time is with me. You’ll go later. I’ll come with you—I have business to handle at the company, and I need you by my side, - Billy said, kissing her lips softly. She smiled slightly in agreement.

    - Now, let me read my book, - Monica replied.

    - I thought you wanted to know about your birthday present. But now I fear I was mistaken—what a shame. -

    She tried to stop him, but in doing so, nearly toppled off the chair she was sitting in. Billy smirked and winked at her before heading back to set.

    - Cut! -

    Billy sat down off to the side, waiting while the others continued their action sequences. He took a moment to catch his breath. The shoot had taken far longer than expected due to various technical models. Stunt doubles handled the more dangerous shots, while the actors only participated in specific close-ups.

    The scenes were spectacular. Each take was meticulously planned, with the production team executing flawless work. The animatronic dinosaur heads, the way glass shattered, the masterful use of camera angles—it was all crafted to perfection.

    Billy watched the finished takes and pondered about what truly made a show exceptional.  came to mind for one simple reason: it aimed to make every detail as cinematic as possible. If he wanted to establish Netflix, this was the way to do it—by ensuring impeccable execution. It wasn’t just about production; it was about performance. That level of control required relentless effort.

    And yet, when it came to television, he still believed HBO delivered better quality. But Netflix? Netflix had the advantage in sheer volume and long-term development.

    A tricky balance, no doubt.
