Astil Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Coen Brothers are taken for the day. Yikes. I had missed that. Although I feel Canada's plot is more a synapsis, much like Jaguars used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOmniWarrior Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Title- Relentless Lead Actor- Bruce Willis (75,000) Lead Actress- Ashley Olsen (25,000) Supporting Actor- James Marsters(25,000) Supporting Actress- Sophia Bush(50,000) Supporting Actor- Ryan Reynolds (75,000*) Director - JJ Abrams (175,000) Genre- Action Plot- When Police Officer John Basham(Willis) receives a phone call that his daughter Kate(Ashley Olsen) has been kidnapped, he will stop at nothing to get answers. When trying to enlist his fellow policemen to help him, he's told not to worry it and that it will be handled "by the book" to which Basham replies "Kidnappers dont kidnap by the book, rapists dont rape by the book, and murderers dont murder by the book. Why should I have to worry about the book?" Basham leaves the police station for what he says is a patrol, instead he ends up shaking down a few known criminals, putting quite the hurting on them, finally, when he's about to shoot one in the knee the guy talks. He told him the man who kidnapped his daughter is a crime lord from Pennsylvania trying to expand his territory. The crime lords name is Anthony Rogers(James Marsters) and where he goes his girlfriend(Bush) isnt far behind. After getting the info, he tells the rest of the police department whats going on, and stars speeding around the city looking for Rogers' base of operations. At certain points Rogers is messing with Basham, having gotten into the same signal as Basham's police radio, taunting him, tormenting him about how much hes torturing his daughter, the screams echoing loud through the radio as Basham is forced to turn the radio off. Basham talks to the dirtiest cop on the force Jim Harris(Reynolds) and makes the "if it were your daughter" speech, which causes Harris to say he'll help Basham. They shake down one of Harris' regular informants who tells them exactly where Rogers is. Harris then shoots the informant in cold blood, following the line "If it were my daughter in trouble, I wouldnt trust this guy not to tell Rogers were coming." With guns readied, the begin the drive to Rogers base of operations. When they get their, they crash through the gate, and run over a bunch of the "hired guns" and quickly jump out the car to shoot a few more. Bad guys galore get shot, and finally they make their way to the back room where it appears as if Marsters is possibly forcing himself on Kate, which makes Basham snap and unload 5 bullets into Rogers, 1 in the back of the head and 4 in the back. Basham is relieved to find out, through the screaming, that it wasnt Kate that Rogers was on but just his girlfriend, who they decide to arrest as Rogers "crime partner" after he rescues his daughter, he finds out he has been fired. However, 3 months later, he seems to be doing fine. Now working in a police department in Pennsylvania.

1234 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Takes into account my discount on actors/directors, and the fact that my marketing costs less. Studio - Ascending Numbers Production Pre-Filming Bank Balance - $16.65 Million Title - Forza Italia Lead Actor - Gerard Butler (25,000) Lead Actress - Jessica Biel (50,000) Supporting Actor - Robert DeNiro (100,000) & Leonardo DiCaprio (37500) Supporting Actress - N/A Director - Michale Bay (87,500) Genre - Action Plot - Michael Rizzi (Gerard Butler) is an undercover agent, in a large Italian mafia (based in Milan, Italy), headed up by a man only known as "The Don" (Robert DeNiro). The movie starts showing the Michael within a room, meeting with the Don and discussing the "families" future. It is shown that he is very close with the Don. Once the meeting is over, Michael phones up his bosses and reveals that he has enough evidence against the Don, and that he believes he should be pulled out as soon as possible as he fears the Don is growing suspicious that someone inside the organisation is working undercover. The agency agree, and tell him to prepare to leave tomorrow, and that he will be travelling to an airfield far away to get taken back to America, but he also has to bring with him The Don's daughter, Maria (Jessica Biel), who has apparantly agreed to testify against him. (I.E A long car journey to the airfield, with lots of opportunity's for car chases. ) The pair sneak off in the middle of the night, to avoid being seen by The Don or his henchmen, but in the morning when he finds out the pair are missing, he commisions a country-wide search for them, sending out many henchmen, but also his right-hand man Salvatore (played by Leonardo DiCaprio). The next scenes focus on Maria & Michael getting to know each other (and a relationship forming), while making their way to the airfield. However this is broken up when the Don's hitmen spot the car, beginning a car chase. The car chase takes part in a small Italian town, with lots of small, narrow roads alongside houses. The car chase ends when the hitmen crash into each other (after being lead into each other by Michael) leaving Michael & Maria to drive off. That night they stop off at a safe-house that had been prepared for them, and despite instructions to not get involved personally with Maria by his bosses, Michael & Maria spend the night together (). They are woken up in the morning by the sounds of footsteps outside the house, which is revealed to be Salvatore. A fist fight breaks out between the two, leading to much of the furniture and glass in the house being destroyed. The scene ends with Michael knocking Salvatore unconscious, and promptly driving away from the house with Maria. Again they nearly make it to the air-field when they are met by more henchmen, and we have the second car chase of the film, which again our heroes escape. When they make it to the airfield they are met by Salvatore, and again a fight commences which Michael wins. With Salvatore on the floor, the Don emerges and shoots Salvatore, killing him, declaring that he is nothing but a dissapointment. The Don then points his gun at Michael, and after some declaring that Michael was the last person he expected to be a 'snitch' & a 'coward' prepares to pull the trigger...when Maria emerges with a gun of her own, pointing it at her father. The Don does not believe his own daughter would shoot him (and says so), he prepares to pull the trigger again, only to be shot in the leg by Maria, who instantly drops the gun in shock. Michael comforts Maria telling her she did the right thing. Right then the American plane touches down. Michael puts the injured Don on the plane, before telling his bosses (who flew over on the plane), that he is willing to testify against the Don, but has decided to stay in Italy with Maria. The final shot see's the couple driving off into the sunset.

1234 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Can we do animated movies? If so, how might they be handled? While my opinion is far from official I would say: Yes they are ok Actors are handled the same way (even if they are just voice actors) Production costs would have to start at a high point, as animating ain't cheap.

MattitudeV2 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Dare to Dream is a conservative first attempt by TwistofFate Productions. It brings the classic tale of US Women's Soccer to a new generation of little girls, and for that it should be commended. Aronofsky directed beautifully, which sometimes is not easy with a big cast and a true to life story. The only issue's this film will face is the lack of production and the slight over play of recent sports movies. All that said this is a sure fire hit with the kids and adults alike that transcends sports movies. It's too bad that more wasn't spent on hyping the film, as it should be seen by all. Rating: 4 out of five stars Revenue: 750,000 (Really generous, should put some more into the hype machine next time) Effects + Kristen Bell is now asking for 75,000 + Sports movies seem a little out played and will receive a small penalty until 5/18 TwistofFate Productions now has 1,310,000 dollars definitley a solid start I'm going have to change my area of focus but I can and hopefully that will succed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_w_w Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 <p>Just some more discussion (taking the day off of making a movie, I think):</p><p> </p><p> So, just some more thoughts from my end:</p><p> </p><p> I think that the highly rated movies and awe-inspiring performances are too common right now. For example, Paul Walker's has given some great performances in the game so far... and nothing against Paul Walker, but I've never seen him as that level of an actor (in my mind, his best performance (out of the movies I've seen) is probably in the dog movie, which was good - but not great). </p><p> </p><p> While it would be cool to have some actor quality score that modifies how well an actor performs, I think that this would be a mistake (A, it would take too much work and B, it would be be contentious).</p><p> </p><p> I'm not privy to how the movie rating system works now, but I remember a post by mad stating that he got "6's" for 50 Cent and Lindsay Lohan. I'd suggest moving to a D20 system (or, randomizing 1-20 on random.org, if you don't happen to have a D20 lying about). If a 6 is currently a great performance, this would reduce the baseline probability from 16.7% to about 4% (which makes sense to me). </p><p> </p><p> A score of...</p><p> </p><p> 19-20: Oscar worthy, great film, allows movies to hit the 4.5-5 star rating (if done by lead actors)</p><p> 17-18: Fringe Oscar discussion (e.g., could be a nominee if there aren't 3 or 4 in the score range above), great performance, allows movies to hit the 3.5-4.5 rating.</p><p> 15-16: Good performance. Allows movies to hit the 2.5-3.5 rating.</p><p> 9-14: Average performance. Allows movies to hit 2-3 star rating. </p><p> 7-8: Awkward performance, but not horrible. 1.5-2.5 stars.</p><p> 5-6: Very poor performance. 1 to 1.5 stars.</p><p> <5: Razzie Worthy. For movies under 1 star.</p><p> </p><p> I'd recommend... randomizing the score for each actor and director in the film:</p><p> </p><p> Then applying the following modifiers:</p><p> </p><p> General casting: Is the overall casting of the film (and assignment of director) sensible? -1 if it seems off, 0 it it's okay, +1 if it's an overall good casting scheme (on the theory that having good people around you helps you perform, while having bad people around you hurts your performance)</p><p> </p><p> Specific casting: Is the specific actor/director appropriately cast? Same range of modifiers (on the theory that you'll perform better in roles you are suited for and worse in other roles)</p><p> </p><p> Story: Does the reviewer think that the story is below average (-1), average (+0), or above average (+1) (on the thought process that a good story will allow performers to do better than they otherwise might do)</p><p> </p><p> I just added the modifiers in, assuming that they currently matter (as I seem to remember some movies getting reviews that were worse for casting decisions). This of course means that a wellcasted movie with a great storyline is going to have a 25% chance of producing oscar worthy performances, so maybe the scale should be bumped up to 30 instead of 20? Doesn't matter, just preliminary thoughts. </p><p> </p><p> Again - I know nothing about the current system. Just some general thoughts off the top of my head and nothing that I'm super invested, I'm just concerned about the possibility of seeing too many highly ranked movies in a week (especially if lots of people play and submit a movie each day).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
