Can the Mad talent agency give me a price quote for Christopher Walken?

P.S. there's a typo with Bob Saget in the main post.

After going to the temple one day, boring, uptight Mark runs into the ultra creative Matthew (Leonardo DiCaprio) at the Kosher deli buying some sausage.

Some actors I would like pricing on:

Robert DeNiro

Leonardo DiCaprio

Christoph Waltz

Tom Hardy

The Rock

John C. Reilly (good for comedies & drama. Nice to have some versatile guys for people to use)

Kristen Bell

Evan Rachel Wood

Natalie Portman

Rachel McAdams

Mila Kunis

Some are there for future ideas, for my first movie I want to do an action movie and there are not a lot of candidates (hence Rock & Hardy and some of the younger girls)

and could you update the actor post with the new additions and people that are used (example John Goodman)?

And I think Will Smith should want more than almost anyone no? He's pretty cheap (and surprised he hasnt been used)

crayon · May 12, 2011

Hmm I think I also need a some younger talent about. Can I get some quotes for Rebecca Black, Emma Watson, and hmm.. Mark Salling? Oh yeah, Heather Morris, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Aaron Johnson as well while we're at it

Title- DUST

Lead Actor- Matt Damon (50,000)

Lead Actress- Jessica Biel (75,000)

Supporting Actor- Jay Baruchel (15,000?)

Genre- Horror/Comedy/Spaghetti Western

Plot- The small town of Dust had long held a peaceful truce with the neighboring Zuni reservation. Things would change in a hurry however, as a mad arsonist, Wayne (Jay Baruchel) would set fire to their homes. As the Shaman watched his people burn, he cursed the town, wishing for The Great Spirit to bring forth a great plague upon them.

Meanwhile a cunning bank robber, Duke (Matt Damon) has traveled three days to the town, doing his best to flee the pursing Marshals. Once safely inside the town Duke does what any criminal would do, take some cash, hide the rest, and then hit the saloon for booze and broads. Things seem fine until his lady of the night tries to take a bite out of him. After promptly disposing of the newly petrified barmaid Duke begins to take in the sights and sounds of the town. Moans, groans, and cries can be heard as the undead ravage everything in the city.

As Duke tries to leave the saloon he runs into the feisty and fiery Whore (Jessica Biel); sure she has a name, but he doesn't care enough to ask. The Whore manages to do more than just hold her own, disposing of several zombies on her own. Despite Duke's wishes, the Whore latches herself to him. While she thinks it is safer to have numbers, Duke is a loner and simply wants to get his money and get out of town.

Duke must find a way to to end this madness, collect his money, save the Whore (if necessary) and escape the town.

Location- New Mexico

Budget- 140,000 for Actors / 850,000 Production

Duration - 125 Minutes

i effin rule · May 12, 2011

If I may make some suggestions.

I think the idea of Directors is awesome and could help set the tone of the film. Having a comedy with Mel Brooks or Judd Apatow are going to have very different feels to them.

What if instead of 1 Lead Actor/Actress and 1 Supporting Actor/Actress you make it open. 2 Leads (male or female) and 2 supporting (male or female).

Sophia Bush excels in her role as leading lady and has many people asking if this is going to be a break out year for the actress. There has been some complaints that the movie didn't run long enough and ended abruptly. There was some rumors that Jim Carrey decided to not bring his best performance due to not being in the leading roll. Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars Revenue: 1,200,000 dollars Effects: Sophia Bush's popularity has risen making her required fee now 50,000 per movie. Don Cheadle can now be hired at 40,000 per movie TheOmniWarrior now has a budget of 2,000,000 dollars

Woot! Doubled my original money!

I have a few questions now <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Franchises: If for example someone wanted to make a comic book action movie... would we have to pay a franchise fee to said company the character belongs to?

Loyalty: Would it be possible for a worker whom a director hires consistently to start trying harder for the director?

Sequels: When doing a sequel to one of your own movies is there a higher or lower chance of sucess?

Also id like to request prices for

Hilarie Burton

Paul Johanson

and

Erica Durance?

Most everyone is grossly under priced due to the fact that I wanted people to be able to use whoever they wanted. With that being said we can make directors a bit more costly. Just go off of talent/popularity. make the low 75,000 a show and the high can be 250,000.

Older men can go for the old west style gun fights of the good ol days, while teenage boys can drool over the half naked uber sexy zombified Jessica Biel. Zombie movies have often been a fad, however this movie takes it a different route where the zombies actual seem to have more on their mind than to eat brains. The only problem for this film was the three day long power outage during production. As a result they had to fork over an additional 10,000 dollars in production fees. Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Revenue: 4,000,000 dollars Effects: Jessica Biel is now more popular and will expect 100,000 per movie. The success of this movie has made the wetern genre more popular.

So I'm done for the night, you guys can feel free to continue to post and I'll catch up in the morning. A few things I would like to do is:

1) Have you guys make up a studio name

2) after maybe every 3 days I'll hold an award type show and that will give boosts to studio prestige (the more prestigious you are the cheaper you can get stars. Plus if you have a great relationship with a worker they will work for you for much less.)

Title - Lead Weight

Studio - Just As Planned Pictures

Lead Actor/s - Christopher Walken (60k)

Lead Actress - N/A (it's a sausage fest)

Supporting Actor - John C. Reilly(40k), Aaron Johnson (30k)

Supporting Actress - N/A

Genre - Drama

Pitch - Vincent Cappello (Walken) is an aging mid-level mobster, who has nothing left in his life besides 7" records and his work for the mafia, which has become little more than routine drudgery. One day he subdues a homeless, Jewish teen named "Jersey" (Johnson) who attempts to assault Vincent while robbing his house. Vincent locks Jersey in a garage, intending to have him "taken care of" but instead the two eventually bond and form an odd friendship.

As Vincent takes Jersey under his wing and attempts to raise him up from the gutters, heavy repercussions start to arise from a previously botched job and it soon becomes apparent that Vincent will be caught in the fall out which is being overseen by a corrupt businessman (Reilly) who has ties to the underworld.

With Vincent living on borrowed time, he must somehow find a way to make peace with himself and help Jersey leave his old life behind — all before he's forced into an "early retirement".

Despite the Mafia background, this movie is first and foremostly a small character drama that places a spotlight on the actors and dialogue, and all of the "action" sequences being short, realistic and unglamorous.

Location - Vancouver (doubling as Chicago)

Budget - $280,000 (130k actors, 150k production)

Duration - 105 minutes

Title- The Possesion

Studio- Burning Pegasus Productions

Lead Actor- Paul Johanson (45,000)

Lead Actress- Hilarie Burton (45,000)

Supporting Actor- Robert DeNiro (150,000)

Director - Quentin Tarantino (185,000)

Genre- Horror

Plot- Robert Shane Hollister (Paul Johanson) is a collector of sorts, who collects what he calls "pieces of history". After receiving a knife once owned by Jack The Ripper, he begins having blackouts, and waking up covered in blood. Its not long before he sees news reports of young women being defiled and then killed with a knife. This causes Hollister to have nightmares, leading to a point where he locks the knife in a safety deposit box. The next day, he finds his wife Mary(Hilarie Burton) dead, the knife in his hand. Stricken with grief and guilt, he does everything he can think of to get rid of the knife, but something kept making it come back. It didnt matter if he threw it in a fireplace or threw it in the Hudson. He tried to stop it by stabbing himself, but the knife became dull upon impact. He even tried going to a priest(DeNiro) to perform an excorcism on the knife, which resulted in the priest having his neck slashed. In the end, Hollister goes to a police station and starts swinging at the cops with the knife, knowing that getting shot to death was probably the only way to stop the deaths.

Location- New York

Budget- $850,000 ($425,000(Cast/Director Cost) + 425,000 (Production Cost))

Christopher Walken plays the role of a washed out mobster to perfection and catches everyone's hearts in this tale. Some are even calling his performance Oscar worthy. The grainy picture due to the lack of budget actually helped capture that old school feel and added a certain layer to the movie.

I so want to have a try at this. I will see if I can come up with something I like, but keep it up this is pretty funny.
