Blake, seemingly,
I don't know why, wanted this production for herself.
And again, this was clear last year.
This is what I said in that episode, but now we know how preemptive it was.
So just take a look at these texts from April of 2023, a month before shooting started.

I need help with him.
Can you tell him you're excited for the movie, that you read the book, and that you're freaking out over the pages that I sent you?
What a magnetic scene that is, or whatever descriptives you're comfortable with.

I wanna know what movie that was.
She then sends the script.
And then Taylor responds and says, I'll do anything for you.
