Andy Garcia(2.10 SP)

- He would take 1,155,000. He's fine taking only 555,000 upfront.

@Russelrules44

Do note that you can start now since everything is set. And I am not sure if I offended you within this thread but I am sorry if I do(I read your ultimatum thread).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make Up Your Mind

Mischa Barton

- The terms are unclear. My guess is one proposal is "pre-" and one is "post-" but you stated them both as "550,000 pre-release" there. In the case of 550,000 pre-release, does she gets two roles: a second lead in your next five AND support in next three?

Marcus Nispel

- The lowest he can go is 800,000 + 12% along with a director role in your next 4 movies.

Pre-release: 1,925,000

Post-release: 1,050,000 + 12%

GM's Note: Ultimately, the directors are more highly paid than actors because I always assume it's this way in real life. Also, as a GM, I am trying to make sure a fair amount of money are spent on talent at the pre-release stage because no talent likes taking money post-release.

I can't accept the marcus nispel deal.

As I am really busy at the moment I can't ask for the costs of directors one by one. So, could you give me the costs of the following guys: Alister Grierson, Jaume Collet-Serra, Neil Burger, Michael Greenspan, and Joe Wright?

For now I should have a line-up of:

Armie Hammer (775.000 of which 225.000 up front and another leading role in one of my next three movies, but only if my company makes a net profit on this movie)

Mischa Barton (550,000 + 1 second lead within next 5 movies)

Jordan Masterson (450,000)

Dev Patel (If you can give him at least secondary lead role in your next 5 movies, he will do this for 350,000 and taking 150,000 upfront)

Title- Make up your mind

Lead Actor- Armie Hammer (lead), Jordan Masterson (2nd lead) Dev Patel (2nd lead)

Lead Actress- Mischa Barton (lead)

Director - Alister Grierson

Genre- Crime

Rating- R

Plot:

The movie starts with a scene in a university lecture hall. The lecturer is explaining how the people can influence political decision making in ways other than by voting in elections. At this point Dwayne Rivers (Armie Hammer)interrupts the lecturer (without raising his hand, which surprises the lecturer, and makes Rivers’ fellow students look at him) and starts arguing that the petitions and peaceful protests that the lecturer just mentioned do **** all (his language is colourful, using swear words to eschew obfuscation about his arguments without at any point becoming too foul-mouthed to be taken seriously). He charismatically points out that despite mass protests in Europe, no government there changed its mind on participating in the Iraq war. He points out that “occupy wherever” creates headlines, but no real change. He points out that the true changes take place in the middle east. In Egypt and Libya. In Syria. He then states that in modern times, people need more than just peaceful methods to get changes. The lecturer then cuts him off, saying that he can’t condone calls for violence in his lectures, after which he continues his lecture.

After the lecture, Rivers is approached by Marcus Carroll (Jordan Masterson) who says he fully agrees with Rivers points. Carroll talks about having become disillusioned with grass roots movements (which he has been a member of) because of their lack of results, and lobby groups (like greenpeace though not group gets mentioned by name) as their main concern seems to be their image while also paying their top employees quite a lot of money). Rivers then invites Carroll over to get a few beers at his place at night, where he will then introduce Carroll to someone likeminded.

Carroll agrees and is introduced by Rivers to Kanal Krishnan (Dev Patel). There’s a click between the three of them, and in this scene they talk about their backgrounds. Krishnan is the son of a politician from India. He has slightly fallen out with his father because of his father’s views on income (in)equality. His father sucked up to the factory owners without giving a shit (this scene has a lot of swearing (which increases as the scene progresses/as more beers have been consumed). Krishnan has only slightly fallen out with his father because he never really told him how much his dad disgusts him, and he has no intention to do so as it’s his father who is paying for his studies.

Marcus Carroll talks about being raised by some wannabe hippies who he accuses of being primarily interested in smoking a lot of weed. He has spent a lot of time doing telemarketing work to be able to study without getting in too much debt. His experiences in this sector have taught him that companies will use every method they can to **** people over.

Rivers is vague about his background. Dead father, deadbeat mother. On his suggestion plans are made to start take revenge on the companies they despise. Various plans are discussed, and eventually they settle on kidnapping Tanya Hansen (Mischa Barton), the socialite daughter of the CEO of a big oil company.

And so it happens. On Saturday night Rivers and Krishnan (both wearing skimasks) steal a limousine (without killing the driver). They get to the city center and pick up Hansen who is used to being brought home by limousine. They bind and gag her and drive her to a house which Carroll has rented for this specific purpose. They put her in the basement and the movie shows them agreeing to demand fifty million for her (the demand is obviously sent to her father) but treat her humanely while she’s in their power.

A few months pass. Newsflashes show how the kidnapping is a leading story in the media. Her father is seen to reject the demand made by the three. At first because he does not want to negotiate or cooperate with criminals, though it eventually becomes evident that he won’t do it because the police will not allow him to. It also becomes evident that the people’s support is with the three kidnappers (who the media are calling the Extrademocratical Freedom Squad (EDS)). Partially because of their ideals, partially because of the stiff and loveless attitude of Hansen’s father and the police.

In between these newsflashes, the three are seen attempting to brainwash Hansen (at first Hansen is shown to make physical attempts to escape from her bonds, or to fight her captors when they allow her to go to the toilet. Later on this behavior decreases and eventually stops). Krishnan is using rational arguments to convert her. Carroll is using his anger, shouting a constant stream of abuse in her ears. And Rivers is using his charm: of course he uses arguments like Krishnan, but in a far warmer, less academic way than Krishnan. Eventually, after the final newsflash of Hansen’s father rejecting the ransom demand because of police pressure, Rivers is seen trying to convert Hansen (who by this point is looking dirty but sexy wearing torn and ragged clothing):

“The three of us are willing to fight for what we believe in. Fight for what we love. You know this, you haven’t been fighting us for weeks. You agree with us. How often has your father not ignored you because of his work? And this is not just your father’s fault. It’s the way of our society. it’s the way of our economy. It’s the way of our world. Right now, your father is doing what the man, what the world is telling him to do like a good little puppy. He does not love you enough to fight for you. He probably doesn’t love you at all. And if you think that is wrong. If you think he should love you. You should make up your mind. Do you want to stand by and do nothing, or do you want to make a change? Make up your mind and help us fight the man. Make up your mind and fight the injustice. Make up your mind and make this world a better place.”

She drops her head for a few seconds and then looks up. Rivers kisses her, and she doesn’t resist.

In the next scene, the three are talking to each other in the presence of Hansen. They have money worries as the rent and the food they have to buy for Hansen is something they cannot afford anymore (they had expected to have the ransom money by now, which would also mean they wouldn’t have the additional expenses. To everyone’s surprise it’s Hansen who suggests they rob a bank. After all, that way they can get money, while simultaneously hurting the kind of company which has brought the western world into an economic crisis.

The three like the idea, but they discover that they’re a person short. They need someone to drive the getaway car, two people for crowd control and someone who forces the bankmanager to open the safe and give them the much needed cash. At this point Hansen says she has made up her mind and wants to fully participate. Carroll and Krishnan don’t like this idea at all, but Rivers is fine with this and convinces the other two (though they do insist that Hansen has to do crowd control to limit her escape options).

The big day. Rivers, Krishnan and Hansen get to the bank (Carroll is the getaway driver). Hansen and Rivers are seen to be holding hands. When they’re in the middle of the bank they pull out some guns and start their plan. However, while Krishnan’s shouting at the bankmanager to open the safe, they hear sirens. The police had found out what was happening. Rivers moves for the door but sees it’s too late. The three get themselves and a couple of hostages behind the counter to limit chances of being shot. Hansen is seen kissing Rivers, promising she won’t leave his side. At this point, the police enter the building with a bang. Things are going fast. Krishnan jumps up and starts firing but is immediately shot dead. Rivers and Hansen look at each other, silently agreeing to go at the same time. They do so. Rivers is shot, and before the same happens to her, Hansen surrenders and starts to cry. (Carroll is nowhere to be seen)

More newsflashes. First of course the news of the final showdown. Then video images (of the bank’s security cameras) of Hansen helping Rivers with crowd control (seemingly fully agreeing with the actions of the other two). Then a few flashes mentioning Stockholm syndrome. And finally, a press conference given by Hansen in which she states that she had no choice to participate. That it was the only way she could possibly get out. That they would have shot her if she hadn’t done that. That yes, she had fallen for Rivers, but that this was due to mental exhaustion. Due to Stockholm syndrome. That people have to make up their minds on who to trust; the well-adjusted people who are trying to make the world a pleasant place, or the criminals who bring death and destruction.

It seems as though interest has waned somewhat in this which is a shame as I love it. I have just been incredibly busy of late but I am currently working on something.

Goliath, my offer stands for helping out, even things like updating the spreadsheet and adding new actors/actresses...that kind of thing.

Let me know

Even as mostly a read-along, I've been enjoying this thread. Love cribbing some of these flicks when I'm playing Hollywood Mogul and some of the players come up with stuff that would be really fun to see. Like Wilhelm's movie he just proposed. Sounds like he was inspired by Patty Hearst and I could see that boding well for him in the real world. Also I will note that I'm still considering jumping in. I have ideas I'd love to try out in this format but I've been suffering from sticker shock looking at some of the contracts even cheaper talent have been getting.

Don't worry, I'm not quitting. I just hit a roadblock on Movie 666.

I just hit a roadblock on Movie 666.</div></blockquote> Glad to hear it man ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Fables: The Last Castle Rating: NC-17 Genre: Fantasy Brief summary of the movie: This is the story of The Last Castle; the final battle between the remaining Fables, led by Colonel Bearskin and including fables like Robin Hood and Boy Blue, and the Adversarys army. The Adversary has been driving Fables out of their homeland for centuries. The Fable refugees have been seeking solace in real world New York (known as New Amsterdam at the time) but Colonel Bearskins army will defend the last castle until his final breath. Amount you plan to spend on production: $1m Amount you plan to spend on marketing: $1m Cast (Note: All cast will be promised roles in at least one other future Fables films unless otherwise stated) Boy Blue (Main Lead) - Zac Efron (Partial nudity, sex scene) Red Riding Hood (Main Lead) - Isla Fisher (Topless nudity, sex scene) Colonel Bearskin (Second Lead) - Cliff Curtis (No nudity, no future roles) Bluebeard (Main support) - Ethan Hawke (No nudity) Robin Hood (Main support) - Jeremy Renner (No nudity, must be ok with dressing like a woman in a scene, no future roles) Lady Britomart (Main support) - Eliza Dushku (No nudity, no future roles, must die hair blonde) Vulcro (Main support) - Aaron Paul (No nudity, minor future roles) Count Aucassin de Beaucaire (Minor support) - Ryan Gosling (No nudity, no future roles) Friar Tuck (Minor support) - Eric Stonestreet (No nudity, no future roles) Tall John (Minor support) - Ty Burrell (No nudity, no future roles) Snow White (Minor support) - Natalie Portman (No nudity in this film, big future roles) Dr Swineheart (Minor support) - Gene Hackman (No nudity, future roles will be no bigger than minor support) Prince Charming (Cameo) - Bradley Cooper (No nudity) Cinderella (Cameo) - Brooklyn Decker (No nudity) The cast is big but the story requires it and I am hoping the people with future roles will take a pay cut and realise that there will be more money as long as DC Comics plays ball on future adaptations. Also, I need to know if DC is happy with Efron as a lead. He isn't a HUGE star but he fits the bill of Boy Blue nearly perfectly
