A star was born at last night’s Vice Presidential Debate, and it wasn’t V.P. Mike Pence or V.P. candidate Kamala Harris–– it was the fly who made his debut on the stage of Mike Pence’s snow-white skullcap.
The fly, who identified itself as Rex, was all the Americans could talk about. Hollywood uber-agent Ari Emanuel immediately contacted Rex The Fly and signed him.
Emanuel contacted Netflix CEO Reed Hastings before the debate ended. The King of Streaming was excited. Emanuel negotiated a multi-million-dollar exclusive deal for Rex The Fly to star in a Netflix series, rumored to debut in the Spring of 2021.
“Rex gave an incredible performance,” Ari Emanuel told The Lint Screen. “He’s a natural. That fly oozes charisma and charm. You can’t look away from him. The world can’t get enough. I think Rex is destined to become a superstar. A global sensation. Mark my words, and I know entertainment, Rex The Fly is the Tom Cruise of insects.”
Hastings said Netflix couldn’t be more excited about his latest series.
“We’re putting together an incredible team. We’ve got the superstar showrunners on Game of Thrones, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, developing storylines right now. And they think this new series is going to blow Game out of the water for drama, engagement, and buzz.”
Emanuel chimed in that he is building a dream team of stars to work on the upcoming un-named Rex The Fly Netflix series.
“We’ve got an incredible roster of talent signed-on, excited to work with Rex,” Ari gushed. “I’m talking our greatest directors jonesing to do episodes–– Quentin Tarantino, David Fincher, Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, to name a few. And, some huge marquee names excited to have Rex buzz their heads–– Meryl Streep, Leonardo DiCaprio, Scarlett Johansson, Beyoncé, Shahrukh Khan, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, and, of course, Nicole Kidman. Nicole’s in everything.”
President Trump could not allow Rex The Fly to have his moment in the limelight without commenting.
“That fly was my idea,” Trump bragged. “And the fly will never be as big a star as I was in The Apprentice. I never got the credit I deserved. Very unfair.”
Stay tuned for big things from Rex The Fly.
