Comradebot Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 <p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Frisky T-Rex Productions (Budget: $1,000,000)</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Title</strong>- The Green Sheet</p><p> <strong>Lead Actress</strong>- Kathy Bates (40,000)</p><p> <strong>Lead Actor</strong>- Matthew Fox (20,000)</p><p> <strong>Supporting Actor</strong>- Jason Alexander (30,000)</p><p> <strong>Supporting Actress</strong>- Rosie O’Donnell (10,000)</p><p> <strong>Director</strong> - Sam Raimi (175,000)</p><p> <strong>Genre</strong>- Horror </p><p> <strong>Plot</strong>- Inspired by the impossible true story*… Janet McConnolly (Kathy Bates) was always the kindest of souls throughout her life, helping those in need, even if they probably didn’t deserve. She saw the good in all people, but unfortunately, evil saw the good in her… or, so she claimed, following a rash of horrifying events in her sleepy, secluded home deep in the American South shattered her tranquil world. The evil deeds, she said, perpetrated by something she only referred to as “the green sheet”, a purported demonically possessed piece of linen!</p><p> </p><p> As buzz from the paranormal community rages over the incredible haunting of the Mississippi home, it quickly reaches the ears of Dustin Turnbow (Matthew Fox), a self-described “professional skeptic”, a man who makes his living off debunking the mythical and mystical. With his newest book “Supernatural? More Like Super-FICTION!” nearing completion, Dustin realizes that the preposterous story of a malevolent green blanket is exactly what he needs to show the world how moronic it is to believe in such.</p><p> </p><p> Dustin travels down into rural Mississippi, where Janet gladly welcomes him into her home, much to the anger of Janet’s greedy, self-serving children Lynnette (Rosie O’Donnell) and Cyrus (Jason Alexander), who see Dustin as a threat to the money they’d like to inherit from their mother once she passes. Dustin’s suspicions early in the night seem proven, with numerous small incidents quickly, and logically, explained by the skeptic in manners that don’t require ghosts, climaxing after Cyrus is caught rigging the air vent to make the “green sheet” appear to float on its own (followed by Lynnette attempting to seduce Dustin into not telling anyone about that).</p><p> </p><p> However, as Dustin Turnbow lays down to finally rest, a grin crossing his face at the thoughts of the money he’ll make off these Southern idiots, he is jolted from his near slumber by a chilling sound of reality: blood-curdling screams from the floor below. As he rushes downstairs, he comes across a most horrifying scene: Lynnette, mouth agape and bulging eyes, lying dead on of the floor… her neck adorned with bruises… and the green sheet, neatly folded just a few feet away from her. As Dustin goes for the phone to call the police to report the obvious murder by either Janet or Cyrus, it becomes apparent that something else is amiss… not only are the phone lines down, but every door to the house has been locked… from the outside.</p><p> </p><p> Soon, the trivial task turns to a fight for survival, as those trapped in the house deal with an evil far greater than Dustin could ever imagine. Stalked through the old plantation home by the terrifying rustling of cloth, it is Cyrus who meets his fate next. Ignoring the bloody message of “No Escape” above an open window, Cyrus attempts to climb out… only to recoil from it, the green sheet firmly and tightly affixed around his face as the diabolical sheet muffles his cries of terror. As its grip loosens with the death of Cyrus, Dustin pitches the blanket through the window, watching in joy as drifts away in the window…</p><p> </p><p> But as they return downstais, there it is again: the green sheet, neatly folded on the couch. An attempt to bury it, however, meets similar results. Finally, Dustin resolves to burn the green sheet, with the entire house soon engulfed in the flames.</p><p> </p><p> Afterwards, he says his goodbyes to the mourning Janet, and goes to finish his new book “Supernatural, Super-FACT”. In the final scene, he gets off the phone with his publisher, both of them knowing that he’s about to become an incredibly rich and famous man… he sets the final copy on his desk, and heads into his bedroom… and as he flips on the lights, there it is, neatly folded on his bed: the green sheet. We pan out to a shot of his home, a scream of mortal terror coming from somewhere in its depths.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Location</strong>- Gulfport, Mississippi</p><p> <strong>Budget</strong>- (Crew: 275,000, Production: 100,000 Marketing 125,000) TOTAL 500,000</p><p> <strong>Duration </strong>– 105 Minutes</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> *No, seriously, it is</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the sun goes down… Out from the cellar of the house of ill repute comes Barnabas (Alan Rickman) and his brood of vampires. Shocked by the sudden appearance of Barnabas the shooting on both sides stops. James Boyd asks Barnabas who in the hell is he, to which Barnabas just simply waves his hand and with that simple wave of the hand one of Barnabas’ minions kills James. Robert stands in stunned silence as Barnabas walks over to Running Deer and thanks him for bringing him his supper. He tells Running Deer that eternal life shall be giving to him as soon as they finish off their guests. An enraged Robert shoots Running Deer in the gut before he, Sheriff Rathborne, and the remaining members of the Boyd Brothers Gang and the posse decided to try to fight the Vampires. An intense battle ensues and members on both sides are lost. Finally, only Robert and Sheriff Rathborne are left to face off against Barnabas and a slew of him minions. The duo do just that but not before Robert is bitten on the arm by Barnabas, before Robert stakes him with the leg of a table. Robert pleads with Sheriff Rathborne to kill him to which the Sheriff complies. The final scene see Sheriff Rathborne riding off with the money from the bank job. Possibly heading off to Mexico.

Rumors begin to swirl that Mark will be fired if he ever comes out of his coma, but before that can happen the actors of Serious Buisness begin to die one by one...

mad5226 Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Frisky T-Rex Productions (Budget: $1,000,000) Title- The Green Sheet Lead Actress- Kathy Bates (40,000) Lead Actor- Matthew Fox (20,000) Supporting Actor- Jason Alexander (30,000) Supporting Actress- Rosie O’Donnell (10,000) Director - Sam Raimi (175,000) Genre- Horror Plot- Inspired by the impossible true story*… Janet McConnolly (Kathy Bates) was always the kindest of souls throughout her life, helping those in need, even if they probably didn’t deserve. She saw the good in all people, but unfortunately, evil saw the good in her… or, so she claimed, following a rash of horrifying events in her sleepy, secluded home deep in the American South shattered her tranquil world. The evil deeds, she said, perpetrated by something she only referred to as “the green sheet”, a purported demonically possessed piece of linen! As buzz from the paranormal community rages over the incredible haunting of the Mississippi home, it quickly reaches the ears of Dustin Turnbow (Matthew Fox), a self-described “professional skeptic”, a man who makes his living off debunking the mythical and mystical. With his newest book “Supernatural? More Like Super-FICTION!” nearing completion, Dustin realizes that the preposterous story of a malevolent green blanket is exactly what he needs to show the world how moronic it is to believe in such. Dustin travels down into rural Mississippi, where Janet gladly welcomes him into her home, much to the anger of Janet’s greedy, self-serving children Lynnette (Rosie O’Donnell) and Cyrus (Jason Alexander), who see Dustin as a threat to the money they’d like to inherit from their mother once she passes. Dustin’s suspicions early in the night seem proven, with numerous small incidents quickly, and logically, explained by the skeptic in manners that don’t require ghosts, climaxing after Cyrus is caught rigging the air vent to make the “green sheet” appear to float on its own (followed by Lynnette attempting to seduce Dustin into not telling anyone about that). However, as Dustin Turnbow lays down to finally rest, a grin crossing his face at the thoughts of the money he’ll make off these Southern idiots, he is jolted from his near slumber by a chilling sound of reality: blood-curdling screams from the floor below. As he rushes downstairs, he comes across a most horrifying scene: Lynnette, mouth agape and bulging eyes, lying dead on of the floor… her neck adorned with bruises… and the green sheet, neatly folded just a few feet away from her. As Dustin goes for the phone to call the police to report the obvious murder by either Janet or Cyrus, it becomes apparent that something else is amiss… not only are the phone lines down, but every door to the house has been locked… from the outside. Soon, the trivial task turns to a fight for survival, as those trapped in the house deal with an evil far greater than Dustin could ever imagine. Stalked through the old plantation home by the terrifying rustling of cloth, it is Cyrus who meets his fate next. Ignoring the bloody message of “No Escape” above an open window, Cyrus attempts to climb out… only to recoil from it, the green sheet firmly and tightly affixed around his face as the diabolical sheet muffles his cries of terror. As its grip loosens with the death of Cyrus, Dustin pitches the blanket through the window, watching in joy as drifts away in the window… But as they return downstais, there it is again: the green sheet, neatly folded on the couch. An attempt to bury it, however, meets similar results. Finally, Dustin resolves to burn the green sheet, with the entire house soon engulfed in the flames. Afterwards, he says his goodbyes to the mourning Janet, and goes to finish his new book “Supernatural, Super-FACT”. In the final scene, he gets off the phone with his publisher, both of them knowing that he’s about to become an incredibly rich and famous man… he sets the final copy on his desk, and heads into his bedroom… and as he flips on the lights, there it is, neatly folded on his bed: the green sheet. We pan out to a shot of his home, a scream of mortal terror coming from somewhere in its depths. Location- Gulfport, Mississippi Budget- (Crew: 275,000, Production: 100,000 Marketing 125,000) TOTAL 500,000 Duration – 105 Minutes *No, seriously, it is Frisky T-Rex Productions may have finally done something that hasn’t been done in a long time, put together a decent horror film. In “The Green Sheet” Matthew Fox plays an author and non-believer on all things super natural. To prove his point he goes to Mississippi where Janet McConnolly, played by Kathy Bates, lives and is convinced there is a green sheet in her house that is possessed. Unphased by her fears Dustin goes to bed at night only to be awaken by screams. What transpires next is a series of terrifying events that keep you jumping out of your seat. The twist as the end of the movie would suggest there may be a sequel, but while we enjoyed it, we don’t expect a sequel to be very appealing. The bottom line is this was a decent film for this new company, and more importantly it may give a breath of new life to the horror genre. While it may have been a cheesy story, the great effects used and the timing of the “scream” scenes were executed perfectly. While it won’t be winning any awards, I do expect it to fair well at the box office. Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Revenue: 8 million dollars The Effect: The Horror genre is starting to catch fire, and as a result will do better than most films in the box office. Matthew Fox now wants 30,000 per movie Frisky T-Rex Productions now has a budget of 8,500,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This focuses on serial killer Jason Smith killing to get his show back. The film is a classic example of a good idea but bad execution. Most of the actors seem disinterested, with the exception of Eric Bana. Director Eli Roth seemed to have a hard time nailing this one down. Betty White seemed horribly out of place, almost comedically so at times. The pacing seemed a bit off, and left the viewers wanting more of an explanation. All in all I would say wait until Deadly Serious comes out on DVD, and then pick it up on Halloween. Good for a few scares, but that's all. Rating: 1.5 out of 5 stars Revenue: 1,500,000 Effects: + Eric Bana will perform better if his next role is a lead, as he feels he has earned that with this performance. + Betty White will not work any more horror films. (Which kills my idea for Tarnished Gold) + Eli Roth will now work for 100,000 Jaguar's Den Studios now has 1,525,000 dollars Gave this a quick boost for being a horror film The List A Decline in Sales - Astilian Productions ***Early Dawn - Pound Puppy Studios*** Please see posts 374, 375 Disintergration - Clarity Productions Happy Happy Fun Land - The World's Not Round Please help us mods by posting the list at the end of your movie posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reilly (40,000) Supporting Actress - Director - Coen Brothers (175,000) Genre - Western, Drama Plot - In the old west people do whatever they must to get by. Merle (Affleck), a struggling blacksmith, and his wife pregnant Ellyn (Watson), who seem doomed to poverty thanks to the constant extortion of an immigrant-turned bandit Werner (Waltz). With no where to turn, Merle pleads with Emmett (Reilly), a local sheriff of Temple, Arizona who befriends Merle to help him and the entire town by standing up to Werner and his posse. When Emmett attempts to dissuade Werner from stealing from Merle and his town, Werner shoots him in the hand in the "early dawn" in front of an entire populous. Faced with the option of death or exile, Emmett flees, but not before telling Merle that he could be the leader Emmet could not. Assuming control of Temple, Werner gives his bandits free reign of the town. People who cross Werner's crew are all killed in an early morning dual that becomes a weekly ritual of sorts. When Ellyn dies giving birth to their son, Merle promises to not let their child grow up in pain and vows to take down Werner and his crew and goes into the wild to find the exiled Emmett and rally people against Werner. Location- Arizona, USA Budget- $370,000 for Cast and Director + $350,000 production cost + $280,000 Marketing = $1,000,000 Duration - 1 hour 48 minutes NOTES: - Both Josh Brolin and Eric Bana were considered for the role of Merle but were commited to other projects. - Rachel McAdams was the original choice for Ellyn but dropped out of the project. However, like Bana and Brolin before her, people within Pound Puppy Studios really hope to work with her in the future. - Christoph Waltz is hoping to step out of the villain role, and rumor has him possibly up for a role in a Pound Puppy Studios comedy.. Coen Brothers are taken for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
