SHAWN LEVY REVEALED A SURPRISE FOR STRANGER THINGS FANS

The fan hype for Stranger Things season 4 is out of control. With only two days
to go before its 27th May release, they are completely losing it. Amidst the fan
chaos, what better medium than Twitter to announce a Stranger Things surprise?
Here’s Shawn’s Tweet that took Twitter by storm.

> Confession/Warning: I’ve had hundreds of behind-the- scenes photos burning a
> hole in my camera roll for over two years while we’ve made #StrangerThings4
> [https://twitter.com/hashtag/StrangerThings4?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw].
> The epic photo dump begins alongside the epic season, FRIDAY🙃

Hundreds of BTS pictures of Stranger Things 4? That’s like the biggest weapon of
mass destruction in the world! There was already so much to wait for, and now
this. Seems like Shawn empathizes with the fans and wants them to live it not
just watch it. Here are some reactions of the fans living for it.

STRANGER THINGS’ JOURNEY TO LIFE

Shawn Levy founded 21 Laps Entertainment
[https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?companies=co0158853], a production house
that has several acclaimed projects under its belt. It co-produced big titles
like Arrival
[https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjw6cDEnfr3AhWRZWwGHaECC1UQFnoECAkQAw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.netflix.com%2Fin%2Ftitle%2F80117799&usg=AOvVaw0qNAeHq1Re5Kr3lVqLYWOR],
The Darkest Minds, Night at the Museum, and most recently, The Adam Project
[https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwinxZ-rnfr3AhX3TmwGHTx2BBcQtwJ6BAgTEAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.netflix.com%2Ftitle%2F81309354&usg=AOvVaw3cjxiGEZVl4W8wrJfQP1wY].
The Vice President at 21 Laps, pitched Shawn the pilot of Stranger Things. Shawn
instantly fell for it and invited the Duffer Brothers to his office. Originally,
he was only going to fulfill the role of a producer for the show; but they
weren’t finished writing the script for season 1
[https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjrv4mYnfr3AhWWSmwGHUJHCSQQtwJ6BAhEEAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.netflix.com%2Ftitle%2F80057281&usg=AOvVaw3pF_-NcG6DPtSPIGlet3-w]
when episodes 1 and 2 were already shot, so Levy took up directing for 3rd and
the 4th episode so the Duffers could focus on writing the rest of the season.

Shawn then continued to direct 2 episodes every season. Stranger Things 4 has no
risk of not living up to the expectations; because the star cast is already a
hit and the makers are experienced. The episodes are long enough for the
audiences to quench their long thirst. Critic reviews for the new season reflect
the same.
