So yeah, synopsis, cast, director, marketing and luck.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> I do appreciate writers but it's hard to manage 2 games at once, I prefer to run 1 game and see how it goes. That and IMO, it's just more fun to have one active, evolving universe than two separate universe. Of course, this is up for discussion.</p><p> </p><p> Here's what on my mind so far(which is not finalized), feel free to give me feedback:</p><p> </p><p> - The new game will have two "modes": Without much idea for name for now, let's call it "lite" and "full". Lite is 25% idea and 75% luck while full is 50% idea and 50% luck. Basically, I will give a base score on your choice of cast, synopsis and stuff like that and then luck will determine the rest in the way of numbers. The total score cap is relative to the idea, this is to prevent absolutely horrible idea from hitting 5 stars. I mean...no one can really turn something like Piranha 3DD into a masterpiece. A standard idea will always have the chance to hit 5 stars and of course, great idea has better chance.</p><p> </p><p> - Synopsis should not be too generic, it can be short but it must be able to tell the whole movie. Something like "two men take on the toughest murder case of their career" is so generic that there's millions of possibility on how it plays out, I would need more than that.</p><p> </p><p> - Lite player should provide clear descriptions to their characters through description. I am fine with zero description on the characters in MT1.0 mainly because I can know the characters through the story itself but when I am judging synopsis, I need to know the characters directly so I can throw them into the story and determine whether the casting choice is good or bad. It will also help my immersion when imagining and reviewing said movie.</p><p> </p><p> - More events, more dynamic negotiations and more character relationship stuff. Just trying to make the universe sounds more organic and filled with characters.</p><p> </p><p> - Out of curiosity, will sudden negative events be not fun for you all? Say you cast Vin Diesel as main lead of Fast 999: Ambulance Drift and he gets into an accident by the second day of filming, forcing you to re-cast someone else. Is this fun or bad??</p><p> </p><p> - Everyone will start with more money so they have more freedom in casting and production level.</p><p> </p><p> - I am thinking of changing some of the star's TS, I feel there's not enough mid-range, it's either top-end or low-end thanks to my inconsistent judging.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> This sounds really good. Can we switch between lite and full at will?</p><p> </p><p> I love the idea of random events (drug relapse, orgy gone wrong etc). I was actually gonna suggest an idea similar to that to you. I would suggest having the option for people to either recast or delay shooting if a random event occurred as there really can't be anybody except Vin Diesel in Ambulance Drift, which for the record, I would totally pay to see.</p><p> </p><p> This sounds cool and I'm excited to get this new version going now <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

1) Here are some alternatives for the role of Boy Blue; Alex Pettyfer, Jack Gleeson, Chord Overstreet, Anton Yelchin. I am also happy for DC to suggest someone they'd like to see in the role and I'll consider it 2) How about James Franco for Robin Hood 3) I have edited the roles and movie type

The Chimpanzombees are pretty much zombified chimpanzees, as you could guess from its name, and they are out there wrecking havoc. The movie does explain the origin of Chimpanzombees decently well with its opening and eventually, the group of protagonists is sent to deal with the rising menace of chimps. The main protagonist is Dr.Wesley Wire, one of the world's top primatologist, and alongside him is his wife Nala Wire(Danai Gurira) and his son Preston Wire(Michael B. Jordan).</p><p> </p><p> As they arrived in Congo and assigned to the mission, they are joined by Kaspar Schmidt(David Hasselhoff), top German mercenary on a mission to elminate the threat of the Chimpanzombees and Ape-Men(human zombie turned by the Chimpanzombees). As you would expect, they eventually proceed with their mission and battle against a ton of Chimpanzombees followed by a final showdown against Mook, the villain and controller of the zombie-men-chimpanzees army.</p><p> </p><p> Simple plot, some solid horror moments and good finale. However, one thing that doesn't really click with me is that there's not much of thrill in this one thus making this more of a straight horror or horror action film than a horror thriller. In my mind, it's an action horror(a tone similar to the Resident Evil movies albeit this has more horror element in it like scare scenes) for the amount of action scene in this one and also a very action movie style finale(I would expect the final battle to be against one giant ass chimpanzombee for horror). One major factor of this not being a thriller is that this film relies on a slow buildup toward the final fight, which is fine on its own but definitely not thrilling. For a thriller to work, the movie has to pull off a good amount of suspense like making the Chimpanzombees squad much more forceful, constantly on-the-attack and just flat-out bad ass so the protagonists look like they are either out of time to deal with them, or out of option. A paced build-up toward a final fight is workable but not thrilling. So too bad for people that wanted to see this to be thrilled but you should get what you wanted if you are looking for a more horror approach.</p><p> </p><p> I also feel that the occupation of Dr. Wesley Wire is not really needed. While he is a primatologist and is assigned to the mission to observe the behavior of the Chimpanzombees(or something like that), it doesn't really played out in the movie at all. In the end, he's just a warrior that beat Mook in battle. He might as well just be a soldier or whatever as the primatologist angle is wasted. Personally, I would prefer if he actually captured a Chimpanzombee and observe it, do all those scientific stuff and so on if the movie is making him a primatologist. Otherwise, it's redundant, and a great movie has near-zero redundancy.</p><p> </p><p> While the overall stories is fine, there are not too many outstanding moments and add in some of the problems as explained above, this is ultimately a pretty standard movie. You will probably enjoy it but you will not really remember it a few days later after you walk out of the movie theater. Overall, I would say this is <strong>2.75 stars</strong>. It's a hard fight between the 2.5 to 3.0 range but the overall performance puts it on 2.75.</p><p> </p><p> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Misc. Information</strong></p><p> </p><p> - Marketing budget is 612,500.</p><p> </p><p> - While the production is fine with 500,000, your decision to film this in Congo eats up a good amount of the production so the overall production value suffers from it(which affect the overall grade). It's better if you film it in a random forest in America, while it might not be the best in term of realism, it's a good option for a budget of your size.</p><p> </p><p> - The trend helped a little, especially after people realize that this is more horror than thriller anyway. Some thrill-seekers are not necessarily happy with this though.</p><p> </p><p> - Running time is fine.</p><p> </p><p> - <strong>GM's Note</strong>: I am fine with Sasha Grey being a cameo but Temeura Morrison is pretty much a support. A minor support but still a support. Cameo is more on very brief characters and the Voodoo High-Priest helps in advancing the story and while he is only in one scene, it's a long scene thus he should be a support. Minor support can die after one scene anyway, they are there as a character of the overall story.</p><p> </p><p> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p> </p><p> Revenue: 13,323,145</p><p> Budget: 4,522,500</p><p> ----------------------------</p><p> Gross Profit: 8,800.645</p><p> Post-release: 1,500,000</p><p> 29.5% bonus: 2,596,190 </p><p> ----------------------------</p><p> Net Profit: 4,704,455</p><p> </p><p> Ninja Pirate Bear Studios' budget = $4,522,500 + $4,704,455 = $9,226,955</p><p> </p><p> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Impact</strong></p><p> </p><p> - Michael B.
