There is no doubt that Hollywood is an industry based on selling movies and what sells movies better than the marketing of a Hollywood star. An actor or actress can not only make movies successful, but in addition their images are also profitable.

Beams of fire roar in front of you. It is up to Daniel Daniel to defeat the alien, will he defeat him or not? Daniel is an alien hunter that lives on his own.
