QUESTION: How do you create a superstar?
ANSWER: First you recognize the raw talent yelling to get out in a performer. As a writer and visionary, you help them hone it. You find out what skills make them tick as a talent. Once you unlock that key, you create a world of product around them that has the potential to expose the actor to the masses.
QUESTIONS: What are the obstacles?
ANSWER: There are plenty..this is why you only see a pairing like Leonardo Dicaprio and Martin Scorcese, Johnny Depp and Tim Burton and Ryan Coogler and Michael B Jordan happen on a major scale every couple of decades. We are living in time where it is product over star. When trying to break a superstar these days, you have to first off have hungry talent with focus and availability. If you don't, then they are just like the majority of actors in this generation who don't understand that Hollywood and celebrity is a business. After that, you have to really like one another. No need in trying to rise to the top of Hollywood with someone you don't like. It really all goes hand in hand. If you look at the current media blitz of Ryan Coogler and Michael B Jordan for their forthcoming film Sinners, you see respect and love between the two. I mean Ryan Coogler made Michael B Jodan the movie opening superstar he is today! Ryan is literally the man who called Sylvester Stallone and pitched Michael for Creed. Ryan then called Eddie Murphy and pitched Jordan as his son in Coming to America 2 (though Eddie declined). The point is, you don't do things like that for people that you don't like.
What you just read is the base of a successful formula. A proven formula. This is not just talk, look at the Hollywood examples hitting you right in your face

VISIONARY MESSAGE (this is about separate bigger scope than the MUSE three stories )
In addition to casting a number of projects in 2025, I am also looking for a male, future superstar to work with on a series of projects that recall the best of collaborations such as Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, David Fincher and Brad Pitt and Michael B Jordan and Ryan Coogler. Read below for more info on this
'If I were to create a star, I would find their acting strengths and weaknesses and build on them. I would strengthen each advantage and disadvantage. I look at Michael B Jordan (actor) and Ryan Coogler (director/visionary) and I am truly amazed at what they have done. NO ONE has done it in Hollywood like they have. If you really study the business of Hollywood, then you must understand that their union created something unique. A power connection that has generated billions and a unique film curve. Sadly, being a man with a lot of time, resources, funds and a much praised writing skill, I haven't been able to find that one, loyal, talented actor that I can aim towards the stars and turn them into a mega success story. I have auditioned over 80,000 actors (update I reached 100k actors auditioned in January of 2025) and worked with thousands, yet most people these days look for instant success and end up with nothing but a few credits when their journey in Hollywood is over.
I hope to find the perfect actor this year. We have to click. Friendship is a key element in pulling off something like this to the masses. If you don't like someone or not friends, that will show in the work you two do together. The actor has to identify with my writing and vision. They have to be hungry and humble. They have to be able to handle drama acting with depth and precision. In whatever I do, I give it my all times 2. I'll be up sometimes for 24 hours creating for an actor if I was lucky enough to be in Ryan Coogler's shoes and have a 'Michael B Jordan' by my side. A 'Michael B Jordan' in this example is an actor with a pop appeal, hunger, loyalty and talent that can take your vision to worldwide success. This idea is something I have dreamed of when I was a kid in the 90s reading and studying those great Hollywood autobiographies from the past where they talked about how legends were made...and I said then and I say it now, I wanna be like that......'
I recently saw the trailer for SINNERS..another actor/duo project by mentor Ryan Coogler and Mentee Michael b Jordan. Then I watched the interview below and you could see the chemistry between the two off them. A strong chemistry like that is what leaves a multi billion dollar film trail. Even casual fans recognize that
the connection between Michael B and Ryan as rare, unique and dominating. Read the comments in the links I posted below. I have preached for years that if you get that kind of loyalty together, you can move mountains. They have moved the stratosphere. This is what I am looking for...someone with mega star power to rule a piece of Hollywood with.
Update: The Sinners promotional bliss is in full effect. The interviews are incredible and offer a lot of insight about what it looks like to be a part of a focused, 'in this with one another to dominate' duo in film. Especially tale a look at the NEW ESSENCE interview below. It is amazing and you can really
see why their union is perfect and why they have dominated like no other in their space.
