A: He is based on our friend and Magic the Gathering Hall-of-Famer, Jon Finkel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Finkel Q: If I have Dream Project attached to a Director when the game ends, do I get 5 points since I could use him as a Mega-Director? A: No, only Directors which have ‘Mega’ printed on their card (or ‘Star’ for Actors/Actresses) score the 5 points for unused Talent.   SCRIPTS top Q: When I release a Film, what happens if I have multiple bonuses to collect? A: You may score or resolve the bonuses in any order you choose. For example, if you release a Feature Film directed by Jim Kameroon with Ben Fallecki in the cast, you could draw the cards from Kameroon’s bonus and then score the +2 for each card in hand from Fallecki’s bonus. Q: If a Script requires ‘2 Actors or Actresses’ may I use 1 Actor and 1 Actress or must I cast two of the same kind? A: You may cast one of each. Whenever Actors (or Actresses) only are required they will be listed on their own line. Q: Why does Late Afternoon of the Living Dead 2 have a negative score? A: I mean, have you seen it??

Q: Does re-hiring someone for Documentary use up an Action? A: No. Q: If I have already made a non-feature Script, may I make another? A: Yes, but completing that Script will not end the game. The game only ends when someone completes two or more Films, at least one of which is a Feature. Q: What does B Movie do? A: You may ignore any penalty or restriction on any other card. For example, Hillary Paris would not score -5 for other Star Actresses, Eliza Anders could be cast alongside other Star Actresses, Val Crowe would not make you discard cards, etc.   PRODUCER CARDS top Q: How does Hollywood Wish work? A: When you play Hollywood Wish, just leave it on the table in front of you until your next turn. You may not do ANYTHING until your next turn begins except draw cards with un-used Actions this turn. When your next turn begins, put Hollywood Wish in the discard pile and choose to draw 3 cards or collect $5. Then proceed with your turn as normal. Q: Could someone play Free Ride on me before my Hollywood Wish goes off? A: Yes. Then if you use the Hollywood Wish to draw 3 cards, they would also draw 3 cards. Q: What happens if I am supposed to discard cards but I don’t have enough? A: Then discard as many as you have. Q: When do I say what I’m looking for with Missing Piece?

A: At the start of any Bidding War, you may play Missed Casting before anyone writes down a bid. One Player of your choice may not bid.

A: No. Q: When I release a Film, why is all this addition so hard for me? A: Probably because you a product of the American school system. Recent studies show that the U.S. school system ranks 1,489th in the world in Math, Science, Cartography, and Art and most embarrassingly English. Q: What happens if I am too slow with Forced Bidding or Free Ride? A: Ideally, play the card as soon as the other Player begins her turn (Free Ride) or hires her Actor/Actress (Forced Bidding). If you are a bit slow, and she hasn’t done much yet, it’s ok to ask her to back up a bit.   ENHANCERS top Q: Does paying someone $3 to remove her Copyright Lawsuit cost an Action? A: No. Q: May I play Breakout Role on a Star? A: Yes. Q: May I sell Hit Soundtrack to the Talent Agency? A: Yes.   BIDDING WARS & TALENT AGENCY top Q: If I play a Forced Bidding card, am I the Player who starts the Bidding War?
