The movie now costs twice as much to shoot.

It also complicates the whole movie editing process.

And so of course the producers and financiers of the movie are not happy about this.

And so Carl is eventually removed from the editing process altogether.

And if things couldn't get worse for him, once 47 Ronin finally comes out, it is a disaster.

Not only does the movie bomb, but it gets destroyed by critics earning a whopping 16% on Rotten Tomatoes.

So his big movie flops.

And just like that, Carl's dream of being a big Hollywood director collapses.

So what does he do?

Well, he goes back to directing commercials and making money that way.

But he isn't about to give up on Hollywood just yet.

He's convinced that all he needs is one more shot.

So pretty quickly, he starts working on a new project with this woman, Gabriella.

Gabriella is actually Carl's wife.

So they start working on a sci-fi series called White Horse.

And it's got humanoids and robots in it and stuff like that.

So it sounds pretty cool.

And Carl actually finances it himself.

And eventually, they start shooting it.

And so, this ends up being a great little passion project for him.
