When the Apple iPhone commercial began airing, my first thought was that I wanted one. My second thought: How much will I get in residuals for the one-second clip from the first Charlie’s Angels?
The answer came yesterday in a big green envelope: $86.50.
UPDATE:
Because you asked, here’s the original scene as written:
- Her cell phone RINGS. She answers it.
- NATALIE
- Hello?…Pete, hi! How are you?
- INT. HOTEL KITCHEN - DAY
- Pete is on break from another catering job.
- PETE
- I’m good. I just — You said you wanted me to call.
- INT. TOWER OFFICE - DAY
- Natalie keeps checking the shelves, looking for a secret switch.
- NATALIE
- I did. I do. I mean, thank you for calling.
