"Who?" asked Murphy.

"A good boy with good qualities, Adam. Play as Kevin's child in Home Alone. I think he'll be a good fit for the role. He is very adaptable to the role, flexible and has enough potential to do what I say. His contacts are on the list, and if possible, contact him," Ian said to Murphy.

"If Scarlett Johansson plays this role well, it will be a great debut and it will give her a huge boost to her career," Martin said as he looked at the list.

"yes, let's see. I can't let her play this role badly. So she has to do a good job, and we need more when we get back to location anyway..."

The conversation lasted two hours, and they discussed everything from the beginning.

Making sure all the cast, crew, and everyone else was there within three days was Ian's plan.

It will take at least a month for the Batmobile to fully complete all the technical details.

Because Ian didn't want to delay the shooting, he decided to start filming scenes of young Blues.

That's the rough plan in Ian's mind, but will everything go well?

A full week later, the venue was set up and ready to start filming Batman: The Mystery of the Shadows.

Over the course of a week, Ian held two or three meetings, prepared all the costumes and props, and talked to each character and their character.

In one of these meetings, Ian must meet with Adam and Elena, who is chosen to play Rachel's younger version.

Elena's nose and eyes are almost identical to Scarlett Johansson's, but it's certain that no actor is perfect for the role and always needs to be adjusted, and it's the same here.

First, Adam's hair needed to be dyed black.

"Hey Adam. Long time no see," Ian said Ian as Adam walked into the office in a black T-shirt and blue jeans.

"Hey Ian, how are you?" Ian asked Adam to call him by his first name even before "Home Alone" even began.

Adam still hasn't broken this habit, and he is in the office with his mother Michelle.

"I've been fine, hello Michelle," Ian said, holding out a hand for Michelle to shake hands, which she politely squeezed.

"I'll stay outside so you both can discuss. It's nice to see you again, Ian," Michelle said, patting Adam on the head and walking out.

"Have you read the script?" asked Ian.

For Ian, the conversation began as déjà vu.

"yes

" "Do you like it?" Ian asked.

"Yes, Bruce sounds like a cool kid, but naïve. He adored his parents and became closer to his father. I love the character," Adam said.

Hearing his words, a wicked smile appeared on Ian's face.

He knew that Adam would be the perfect actor to play the role, and it looked like he was right.

"That's true, and do you want to meet Elena?" Ian asked.

"Who's Elena?"

"Rachel, your friend, she's here today, outside. You can call her in," Ian said, and Adam shrugged and nodded as he ran out of the office. Noticing how cute Adam was, Ian chuckled at the corners of his mouth.

Elena and Adam walked over holding hands, but Adam quickly sat down in his previous position.

"Elena, meet Adam, your film partner," Ian said.

Elena is a B-grade actress and her mom is the producer's ex-wife.

She started acting at the age of five and made two dramas.

She's a good fit for both of the roles she's playing, and since Ian knows how much praise the little superstar gets, he immediately asks Murphy to call her to audition.

At the audition, Ian asked Elena to portray different emotions on the spot, and she successfully identified her role as a young Rachel in a superhero movie.

"Hello Adam, I'm Elena" Elena whispered, and Adam smiled at her.

"I'm Adam. It's a pleasure to meet you," Adam said.

Soon, they became friends and played outside the office while Ian, Murphy and their mom began discussing what they should do before taking them to the set to start filming.

"Murphy will arrange all the required paperwork and we will have a week to start shooting. Would that be good?' Ian asked.

Both women nodded in agreement.

After a while, Ian brings both children to the office and explains their personalities.

If the whole thing is explained to an average child, it will be more challenging to make sure they remember certain things he said.

Still, since both have experience working and acting with directors, they understand that they need to have a deep understanding of the character before playing it.

"Do you think you can do it?" Ian asked the two children, who looked at him without blinking.

"Yes sir. "

Yes,"

the two replied simultaneously.

-

Ian is now on set.

The shoot had started two hours earlier, and both men understood the situation, as it was Ian's seventh attempt to get the perfect shot.

The scene begins with the laughter of children in the distance, and the laughter gets closer and closer as the sun twinkles through the woods and the children run through the summer garden. As Ian mentioned, the camera scrolls smoothly from where Nick wants.

A boy about eight years old ran after a girl, this boy was Bruce Wayne, and this girl was Rachel Dawes.

The camera keeps moving behind the boy as he arrives at a Victorian greenhouse, and he stands in the doorway, panting.

Ian noticed the facial expressions and how Bruce bent over slightly to maintain his tired posture.

After a moment, young Bruce stared at the rows of plants on the long stand table.

"Now," Ian ordered.

"Rachel?" he asked, without letting Ian's orders interfere with the play.

Rachel doesn't respond, and Ian sees on screen how talented Nick is and can shoot the scene as he pleases.

Everything was set up perfectly according to the picture in his head, and every second that passed made him excited.

He watched from a small monitor.

Rachel, the man the little one was looking for, was nowhere to be seen, the sunlight was shining through the wrought iron and glass, and young Bruce cautiously walked forward.

He was grabbed from behind by a young girl who looked to be about 10 years old and pulled under the table.

Rachel Dawes, she puts her hand on Bruce's mouth.

"Ka!" Ian commanded through the microphone.

"Elena, well done, but can you show a little more emotion, like you don't want anyone to hear your emotions and your nervousness in hiding the game. Can you give me some more? can we try again, or do you need a break?" Ian asked slowly.

Because they are still children, he doesn't want to sound harsh or act harsh on them.

"A little more, alright, let's get started,"

Ian gave the order to get started again.

This time, Elena succeeded in doing what Ian wanted her to do.

It's time to move on to the scene, Ian thought, how nice it would be to see the last shot.

"And... ""

Master Rachel Bruce?!"

the camera focuses on Bruce and Rachel, but shows a woman striding through the window.

She is Rachel's mother, Mrs. Dodson, and the housekeeper of Wayne Manor.

"Bruce... Let's go!" Ian commanded through the microphone, which was the signal for Bruce to continue the conversation.

"What are you doing?!" Bruce whispered.

"Kidnap you. They gave a lot for the precious blues," Rachel replied triumphantly, but whispered.

The two looked at each other and heard her words, and little Bruce looked at her with wide eyes.

She didn't speak, just smiled, and he visibly relaxed.

"Now!" it was Ian.

Young Bruce stood up and rushed out from under the trestle table.

"Wow!" Adam's head hit on the table.

His hand reached out to his head, and he sat there.

"Ka!" Ian stopped filming for the time being.

Everyone gathered around him to see if Adam was seriously injured.

After checking to make sure he was okay, Ian had to end the day's shoot and let him go home with a bag of ice on his head.

"I'm sorry, Ian, I should have been more careful," Adam said.

In Ian's opinion, he regrets that he didn't take any security measures to allow Adam and Elena to act in secret.

"It's not your fault, Adam, let's move on tomorrow. I hope you'll be okay," Ian said, patting Adam on the back.

Adam nodded and ran towards Michelle, who came over to pick Adam off the set.

Ian has apologized to her and finished his work, hoping that tomorrow will be better and more efficient.

The next day, Ian started filming from where they left off.

There were many actors on the set, and the whole crew was as excited as ever.

When Ian walked into the set, Adam was the first to greet him.

"Good morning, Adam. How are you now?" Ian asked, looking at his head.

"I'm

fine," "He's fine, Ian, nothing to worry about." Michelle said, touching Adam's head.

"I'll be back when I'm done. She said to Ian, who nodded in response.

She bent down to Adam and kissed him on the cheek, wishing him good luck.

The shooting began shortly after.

Ian just wanted to shoot a few scenes of Adam inside.

The scene where Bruce Jr. falls into a cave, and the scene where Bruce's parents and Jim Gordon comfort Bruce Jr., are some of the few scenes he has.

But when Bruce's story is revealed, every scene is essential and touching.

His entire childhood may well have been the biggest trigger for him as he grew up, and because of this, the role played by Adam was crucial in Ian's eyes.

"And...

"Bruce, I can see you,"

Rachel said as young Bruce crouched at the mouth of an abandoned well and peered through the stone wall at Rachel, who was looking for him.

Hearing Rachel's words, he forced a smile. Suddenly, the plank beneath him came loose and he fell into a huge cavern.

"Ka! Well done, Elena and Adam. Get ready for the next scene," Ian said, and ordered the technicians to make sure Adam was okay, despite the necessary safety precautions.

The cable was removed from Adam's body, and the makeup artist applied some to his face.

"Let's go!" Ian

kept watching the scene from the screen.

Young Bruce fell thirty feet and landed painfully at the rubbled bottom of the shaft.

Another camera is pointed at Rachel, who hears a loud bang and runs to see what happened.

"Bruce?!!" she asked a little louder.

"Ka!" Ian said.

"Give us a moment, Adam," he said again, and walked over to Rachel.

"I want you to run like this, with a nervous, scared expression,"

Ian said as he ran toward the well, mimicking what he wanted from her.

She kept watching his every move.

"Do you understand?" he asked.

"Yes sir. "

Okay, Elena, you're doing well, just need more emotion, you see!" he patted her on the back and ran back to his chair.

"It's quiet, everyone!" "Roll the camera!" "Let's go!"

"Bruce ?!!" Rachel Jr. said as he ran towards the well.

The camera then focuses on the situation.

Young Bruce looked up from the damp dirt and rocks and groaned.

"Ka! Adam, I need more moans! Pretend you're in pain, you've got this! Again

, Adam behaved as if he had fallen into a huge pit, in pain.

He looked hurt and scared.

"Ka!"

The next scene is Rachel running towards the house.

It's a simple scenario, but Ian asks everyone to take a break because they seem to need a break.

Just because of doing the same scene repeatedly, some people look tired and some people are bored.

After giving the cast a few minutes to refresh themselves, Ian started filming again.

"Go!"

"Mom!!!Mr. Alfred!!!" shouted Rachel as she ran into the room.

"Good job, Elena!" Ian was pleased with the way he shot it.

"Give me a few seconds to confirm. He said and looked at it twice to see if he could see any flaws.

The next scene is all about Adam's expression. Learn the depths, Adam, and this will be a turning point in Bruce's life. Remember the scene I told you before? Bats will be replaced by these gadgets, pretending to be your worst nightmare, can you give me a try?" Ian asked.

"Let's go!" said Adam, grinning.

Although he was tired, he was still excited because he was really tired.

After four shoots, Adam finally understood what he needed to do, and he was ready for the best scene he had ever acted in his life.

Ian looked at the screen and gave the command to start the scene.

"Sound settings?"..."Roll the camera!" "Go!"

From the monitor, Ian saw Adam's scared look.

Little Bruce, who was completely terrified after falling, groaned.

He heard a scream, then froze.

He had obvious questions on his face and a loud screaming expression, "Help me, father. Looking

at the source of the sound, he stared into the darkness, an opening between the rocks. After a while, the bat exploded in the night.

Adam doesn't have real bats in front of him, but he acts as if there are a large number of bats.

They fill the air, and Bruce screams, curling himself up into a ball.

Noise filled his ears, and he retreated from the darkness with the sound of flapping, screaming, and fluttering. Dirty darkness obscures the camera.

"Ka!" Ian commanded.

"Well done, Adam, well done, the day is getting better and better!" Ian said as he walked down to greet Adam.

After filming the entire scene perfectly, Ian wanted to call it a day.

One of the scenes they filmed included how Bruce's father gave him golden advice when he walked into the house in front of Alfred.

Due to the skill of the actor who played Bruce's father, filming the scene was ideal.

"Why did we fall, Bruce?" he asked, "so we can learn how to pick ourselves up," Bruce's father said, and the footage showed Alfred's emotions. It's good for your health, Ian thought.

"You did a great job today. See you again soon?" Adam nodded, and Ian asked.

"You're all done! thank you!" Ian said, applauding everyone's efforts.

Even if it's just the beginning, everyone feels that every scene should be given their all.

-

The next day, they started filming a small scene with his dad.

It's something that will be used later in the film, but as has already been said, filming every scene of Adam was Ian's plan.

Within minutes, everyone was ready, and in an oversized bedroom, there was also Hahnswood, who played Bruce's father.

Hanes, an A-list actor, auditioned for a role as Batman, but Ian decided he was better suited to play Bruce's father.

The scene that is about to start filming is another nightmare bat for little Bruce.

He's been having these dreams ever since he fell into the pit.

Young Bruce had trouble breathing.

The light shined through the sheets, and he looked at the door, where his father, Thomas, was present.

Thomas asked softly, "Bat again?" and

young Bruce nodded, looking frightened by his dream.

Thomas approached and sat down on the bed.

"Ka! on the other side of the bed. Not this way,

" "Go!" Ian shouted.

"Bats again?" asked Thomas.

Bruce nodded.

"Do you know why they attacked you?" there was a pause.

Bruce didn't seem to know what his father was talking about.

He is most afraid of bats. "They're afraid of you. "

It was perfectly captured by the camera, chaotic. The confusion in Bruce's eyes is exactly what Ian wants to see, and Adam does exactly that.

"Afraid of me?" he asked again.

"You're a lot bigger than a bat, aren't you? All creatures are terrified. Thomas said to Bruce.

He looked into his father's eyes and saw a smile.

"Even if it's terrible?" Bruce asked rhetorically.

Bruce also had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and it reached his eyes.

Thomas smiled back.

"Especially the horrible ones. Thomas pretended to think for a moment.

"Come, let me show you something—" he paused for a moment, "but you can't tell anyone, okay?" he questioned his son.

The camera is on Bruce.

"Closer," Ian gestured with his hand, not wanting to disturb the scene, because it was going so perfectly. Nick nodded, passing the message along.

Bruce nodded eagerly, wondering what Thomas was referring to... Thomas pulled out a long box of jewelry.

He opened it, and inside it was pearls, glittering in the half-light and half-darkness.

"For your mother," Thomas admitted with a smile.

Hearing his father's words, young Bruce grinned.

Thomas blinked, looked at him, and snapped the box shut.

"Ka! Can we get it back from 'Dedicated to Your Mother?, don't go too far, close it slowly. Also, look at the lights, it looks a little dim right now. Ian said to Nicole who hurried over to do his job.

Another shot of the same scene, which Ian thought was perfect.

The next scene is where Bruce sees Gotham City on a train.
