The room was packed, more people than even his agent had quite expected to show when much that revolved around this project had been up an down. The press fed off every little detail, and the smirk in Achilles' eyes showed his determination and pride with his work. Lining up against the backdrop (which consisted of a large poster of the film, showcasing the cast in dramatic pose), the crew took their seats, ready to speak in preparation for Sabine's release in the latter month. The cast's main two actors sat to Achilles left, Charybdis and Kenneth to his right, the blonde looking like a conductor ready to start an orchestra. He owned that room.
Most questions and answers revolved around Sabine, the cast, the premise, what was expected of a panel, including audience participation. Kenneth sat back quiet through most of it, Achilles taking the lead during the majority of time. He left room for the others when they were asked questions specifically, such as the two leads, but Achilles had the big ego that Kenneth had expected him to present at such an event. He only hoped the Greek didn't go in over his head.
There were those few questions near the end that branched into what Achilles, or as the press referred to him, Adrianus was working on for the future. He spoke very little on it, but did break into the fact that the script was going to be set during the Vietnam war. It struck some of the press by surprise as well as some of the con-goers. It would be the first film Adrianus had broken out from the ancient times and into a more modern setting. It seemed exciting, but then the questions started to come in as why, and the Greek had remained very short on answers. It was apparent it had struck a chord, and momentarily Kenneth hoped it didn't set him back. All he needed was for Achilles to go ballistic on a trigger and things to go back the way they were before the coma.
It was then that Kenneth stood and played off to the public that their time was up and had already run over. It would save face for Achilles, and also give him a chance to destress. There was another long edition to this panel for Saturday, one that included a new trailer that had yet been shown to the public.
