Rayelek Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 <p>Title: Fatekissed</p><p> Genre: Fantasy/Comedy</p><p> Brief Summary Of The Plot: On a spin of bad luck, Raye Ralek's life only gets worse when a former rival (Jasper Drake) gets him kicked out of his regular/favorite bar. At an unfamiliar tavern, he meets a stunningly attractive woman (Elle) and the two hook up that night. In the morning she has disappeared, but Raye's luck has turned around, leading him to his mentor, Vance, to try to figure out who this mysterious woman might have been, and how he can find her again. Meanwhile, Jasper hears tales of Raye's fortune turning around and attempts to ruin his enemy, including sending his enforcer Hammer after him. Will Raye find his woman and avoid the wrath of his rival?</p><p> Rating: PG-13</p><p> Production Cost: TBD</p><p> Marketing Cost: TBD</p><p> </p><p> TALENT CASTING</p><p> </p><p> Director: Drakestooth Studios is looking at <strong>Peter Jackson, Edgar Wright, or Dan Harmon</strong> depending on how the budget looks.</p><p> </p><p> Lead Role: Raye Ralek</p><p> </p><p> Raye Ralek is a gambler by trade who knows every cheat in the book and a few that aren't in there either. A charmer with a quick wit, Raye also has consistent luck with women which sets the events of the film in motion.</p><p> </p><p> We've got quite a few candidates for the role, namely <strong>Chris Pine, Giovanni Ribisi, Sean William Scott, or Eddie Redmayne.</strong></p><p> </p><p> Major Role: Jasper Drake</p><p> </p><p> Jasper Drake is a cruel thief who has it in for Raye Ralek after a slight long ago.

To those who don't know of his past, he seems like a silly old-ish man with tall tales. He serves as someone for Raye to turn to as things get interesting, and travels with him for the remainder of the film.</p><p> </p><p> To fill this spot, we're considering <strong>Nathan Fillion, Jerome Flynn, Bruce Campbell or Adam Copeland.</strong></p><p> </p><p> Minor Role: Elle/Lady Luck</p><p> </p><p> Introduced just as Elle/L, she is an extremely attractive woman who Raye picks up.

RingRider Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 The Black Lab would like to: 1.) Hire Max Landis to direct. He's young and hardly established, but he's got family pedigree and we think his youth and sense of humor will be a good match for the film. (Plus he's cheap:D) We sincerely hope that this film could be a good launching point for his career. 2.) The studio really wants Michael Cera for the main role of Evan Robbins...we ask him to lower his rate with an agreement for another role in a future movie. 3.) For the role of Quentin Martin, the studio would like to send additional feelers out to Adam Scott. 4.) We are holding off on the casting of Amy Hanley until other roles are locked... 5.) We like to finalize agreements for Peter Dinklage as Principal Edwards, Donald Sutherland as Henry Graves, Kate Mulgew as Sally Norton, Bill Murray as "Big Ed" and Carl Weathers as Coach Hanson. 6.) We have cut the role of Mrs. Patty in script rewrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AceCodey Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Title: Agincourt. Genre: Historical Drama. Brief Plot Summary: Over half of the Hundred Years War between England and France has been fought, and little has changed between the two Kingdoms. Henry V is stranded in northern France, desperate to make it to the English stronghold of Calais. But standing in his way is a monumental army led by the fearsome Charles D’Albret. Comically out-numbered, Henry now has nothing left to do except fight, for any other fate shall surely lead to chaos in England, and the failure of his campaign. Rating: 15. Production Cost: TBD. Marketing Cost: TBD. Talent Casting Director: Magpie Productions would like to look at Tom Green, James Kent and Yann Demange, with all being up-and-coming directors, all three having directed historically-based films before. We feel that this project could be one of their chances to truly make a name for themselves. Lead Role: Henry V. Synopsis: Reigning King of England, Henry V continued the Hundred Years War in 1414 when he declared hostilities on France after he perceived them as having “mocked” his attempts at negotiation. Determined to display that his right to rule is more than just a legal matter, Henry elected to march his troops through the northern French province of Normandy when taking a break from conquest. This decision proved costly. England’s enemies had spent time rallying, and now block his path back to the English stronghold of Calais. With his men diseased and starving, Henry has no choice but to force a battle, a battle that he surely cannot win. Actors: For this role we would like to get in touch with Joe Alwyn, Dan Stevens and Tom Hiddleston. Major Role: Charles D’Albret. Synopsis: Constable of France and the chief commander of the French army, Charles D’Albert is a fine leader with years of experience in waging war. Acting as the second-in-command only to the King, Charles wields an enormous amount of power, power which shall only grow stronger if he were to capture Henry, the King of an enemy nation. And with a massive numerical advantage and a down-trodden opponent, surely this is only going one way for him. Right? Actors: We feel that Christoph Waltz would be absolutely perfect for this role, and would very much like to offer him a multi-film deal if it would persuade him further. Major Role: Edward of York. Synopsis: A friend of Henry V’s father and one of the King’s most trusted nobles, Edward also shares blood with Henry through their shared relation to King Edward III, who is Edward’s grandfather and Henry’s great-grandfather. Despite this there still has to be some tension between the pair, with Edward’s younger brother Richard being beheaded on Henry’s order. With nobody knowing how the French army were able to track the English army’s movements, suspicions of a traitor are beginning to rise… Actors: We would like to approach Sean Bean (with the offer of a multi-film contract), Martin Freeman and Kenneth Branagh for this role. Major Role: Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester. Synopsis: Henry V’s youngest brother, Humphrey was the “clever one” out of himself and his brothers, owing to his classical education whilst his brothers fought on the Scottish and Welsh borders. The quintessential chivalrous figure, Humphrey is determined to prove himself as capable as his brothers, but now he’s in for a very big test against near-impossible odds in the Battle of Agincourt. Actors: We would like to extend offers to Nicholas Hoult, Jamie Bell and Daniel Radcliffe. Major Role: Davy Gam. Synopsis: A Welsh nobleman who remained loyal to the crown during days of rebellion, he quickly became a trusted friend of Henry V, having fought alongside the King in the past. Seen as a traitor to some and a hero to others, Davy’s reputation back in his native Wales is a topic of much fierce debate. What isn’t up for debate is the monumental challenge now facing Davy, being made a member of the King’s Bodyguard, he has to somehow get Henry through this battle, alive. Actors: We would like to contact James McAvoy, Iwan Rheon, Rupert Grint and Kit Harrington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The result is a fight for survival that is equally physical, emotional, and mental. While our setting begins in various parts of a rural town in Oregon, it closes in when the four central characters stumble upon antagonist BH's 'killroom.'

The once very successful pro-bono lawyer now finds himself rundown, and currently conflicted with his most recent small-time case.

I've had a bit of an epiphany and I've come to realize that maybe hosting Movie Tycoon just isn't for me. </p><p> </p><p> Don't get me wrong, I'm honored to have brought the game back; no one can take that away from me. But truth be told: I've never really been good at focusing on one specific thing. What usually happens is that I start something, let it roll for a little while, then things slow down and I lose interest. It's been a bad habit of mine for a while now, believe me; which is a reason why negotiations and reviews are moving in a glacial pace.</p><p> </p><p> And 2. I've started a Movie Tycoon subreddit. (No no, not that type of subreddit) I feel that the history of this great game deserves to be covered on a bigger platform, and I believe Reddit is the perfect place to do so.</p><p> </p><p> Basically, this is my attempt at creating a wiki for Movie Tycoon (And yes, at some point; there will be a wiki version of it if Reddit is successful) and personally the best way to introduce the game to a bigger audience.</p><p> </p><p> This is a big project, and I certainly won't be able to do it alone. I will be asking for help from some people along the way. Maybe some of you can pitch in if you like.</p><p> </p><p> Now, obviously; this sounds very disappointing. And it is...</p><p> </p><p> BUT: Does this mean Movie Tycoon 6 is over? Heavens no! I've been under secret talks with someone very special and he has gracefully accepted the offer.</p><p> </p><p> Friends, I would like to introduce to you your new host: HRTVAndrew!</p><p> </p><p> As for me?: I will ease into the role of substitute; what this means is that I will be handling everything for HRTV if he is unable to perform his duties or on vacation. (Yes, I know; he owns his own movie studio. Yes, I will do his negotiations for him. Think of it as a callback to the very first Movie Game)</p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-size:8px;">And you never know; there may be one more surprise...Don't call it a comeback per-say, but let me just state that the venom of creativity is sparkling up again.</span></p><p> </p><p> I understand this is a very big and unexpected change, But I believe this is for the best interest of the game that this happen and expect you to treat your new host with the same amount of respect as you did for me. (Y'know, when I was around)</p><p> </p><p> My last order of business will be to review Fake News. Once this is done, HRTV will take full control of MT6 and I will ease into my new role as substitute/keeper of the Movie Tycoon inventory.</p><p> </p><p> Thank you for listening and keep on creating beautiful movies!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Scott Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 No worries, Russ. Happy to hear the game lives on. (Just to confirm, I'm good to go with my movie, right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRTVAndrew Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 <p>Okay, folks, this doubles as my first post as the head of this game. I'm honored that Russell approached me, and I certainly appreciate the magnitude of what he's trying to do. As I explained to him, the timing works out well, since I've got several light weeks at work and can keep an eye on this. As a heads-up, do note that work picks up again around mid-to-late-October, so if things slow down around that point, know that there are some real-life reasons for it.</p><p> </p><p> To reiterate what he said: I am NOT giving up my studio, nor am I stopping my playing of the game. Russell will step in when necessary and handle my administrative stuff for my movies, from pre-production (licenses, hiring talent, etc.) to post-production (ratings, reviews, and finances). I won't have a hand in any behind-the-scenes stuff there, so I'm playing the same game everyone else is.</p><p> </p><p> It's fairly late at night here, so I'm in the process of getting ready for bed. I'll take a deeper dive through the last few pages of this thread tomorrow, and hopefully we'll be caught up either tomorrow or Friday. In the meantime, if you're thinking about joining, jump right in! It's a lot of fun, and I look forward to keeping it that way.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astyn Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Just a thought but what if we the players all just be the critics cause its a game that were all just playing for fun? Anyone that gets the opportunity to read it can review it if they please (just don't be a dick unless necessary) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kijar Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Kudos for getting the Sixening started, Russ. You're the man, I really appreciate it. I could definitely see this switch coming, and it is a welcome change for a couple reasons. One, I could see Russ's heart wasn't it, and you'd be better off playing the game than being the reviewing because it is just simply what you want to do. Also, Andrew, you are a very articulate and intelligent fellow who I know will give a heads up when he gets busy, and the only problem I have with you as the reviewer is that we wouldn't get the chance to read your fantastic films, but you've negated that by having Russ review for you so... I am very excited for this game to continue with our new dynamic, you guys are awesome, and I'm just very happy I still get to make Sufferers, as obviously the couple posts after had me nervous. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Thanks for figuring it out guys, really. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russelrules44 Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Quick Review On Fake News And The Return Of An Old Friend Story Quality: 4.5/5 (An extremely raunchy, yet heartfelt story about how journalism done wrong can lead into disaster, every character you end up relating to or liking and there are some good jokes too) Production Quality: 4/5 (A decent sized budget for the movie overall, and a terrific directing job makes the movie look even better than thought) Acting Quality: 1.5/5 (Outside from Amy Pohler and Danny Devito; none of the cast seems to have their A-Game for this movie which holds it back slightly) Ending Quality: 5/5 (The perfect way for a movie of this caliber to end. And it is glorious.) Overall: 3.75/5 (Poiniant and well written movie with likable and relatable characters. Would have been even higher if the acting had played ball) Jacob Quotas: This movie should have easily gotten at least four stars; I really did like it. But man, the die was NOT on your side for acting. You got some poor rolls, including a really bad one for John Turturro on acting. If Amy had not rolled a solid 0.9, this movie would have likely flopped. Misc. Info- A Yuge Endorsement: Fake News and Tompkins Square Studios ended up being a political talking point when President Trump came out in praise of this movie for being a 'brutal and honest commentary of the state of our news'. He also rambled on about there being 'bad hombres' in The Viper's Den and asked if anyone would mind him bombing Nigeria for some reason. Naturally, his base also came out in support for this movie; though some for different reasons than others. Of course, this has turned some of the left against this movie calling it 'the unofficial propaganda film of the alt-right'. No matter the opinion, everyone is a buzz about this movie and this helps it considerably in the box office. (Box Office Increase of x1.5) Star Power: Amy Poehler- 0.9 + 0.2 = 1.1 (Notes: Has 'Passionate' bonus of 0.2) John Krasinski- -0.5 John Turturro- Directing: 0.9 and Acting: -0.9 Demi Lovato- -0.7 Danny Devito- 0 Jermey Irons- -0.8 Madonna- -0.5 Amy Poehler- 2.2 SP Points: 1.5 + 2.2 = 3.7 John Krasinski- 1.5 - 0.5 = 1 John Turturro- Directing: 1 + 1.9 = 2.9, Acting: 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 Demi Lovato- 1.5 - 1.0 = 0.5 Jermey Irons- 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 Madonna- 1 - 0.3 = 0.7 Box Office: $49,500,000 Physical Copies: $15,000,000 Tompkins Square Studios now has $64,500,000. I know, it's not the fanciest way to go out: But it is what it is. As for me?: Well, since i'm out of a job, I guess it's time for me to go back to what I do best. Prepare yourself boys, The Viper's Den is back in action and already has a mega-hit on it's shoulders. › Title: Golden Girl › Genre: Musical Drama/Comedy › Brief Summary Of The Plot: In 1948, famed singer Ruby Gold loses her voice, leaving arch rival Jessica Diamond to rise up and take the chance to replace her. Meanwhile, mysterious mishaps have come across for other female singers. It is up to Detective Derek Spats to figure out who exactly is behind all these mishaps. › Rating: PG-13 › Production Cost: $725,000 › Marketing Cost: $475,000 TALENT CASTING › Director: For a movie like this, we need someone with experience in musicals. Damien Chazelle, Jennifer Lee and Baz Luhrmann. › Lead Role: Derek Spats- Premiere detective for the San Fransisco police department, main protagonist and narrator. He comes into every mystery, primed and prepared. He usually expects the worst and will take no exception to the best. In spite of his slightly stoic approach, he is shown to be a soft, kind man who’s dream growing up was to be a musician. Contact: Zac Efron, Ryan Gosling and Seth MacFarlane. As this is a musical, expect to have some songs and even get top billing for the soundtrack alongside Ruby Gold and Solomon Donally. Avan Jogia is being asked to play a younger version of him. “The Man”/Solomon Donalley- The main antagonist, no one is exactly sure who he is; other than he usually lurks in the shadows and, in an odd twist; is connected to only the female singers who end up as victims. His name is later revealed to be Solomon Donally, a former classmate of Derek Spats whose lust for Ruby Gold lead him to villainy. Contact: Johnny Depp, Ewan McGregor, Russel Crowe, Seth MacFarlane, (also contacted for this role) Eddie Redmayne, Ramin Karimloo, John Owen-Jones and Tim Curry. Gets top billing for the soundtrack alongside Derek Spats and Ruby Gold. Edward Sanders (the kid who played Tobias on Sweeney Todd) is being asked to play a younger version of him. Ruby Gold- Popular blues singer who rose to fame in shockingly fast time. A fan favorite, she always seems to make the time for an interview or sign some autographs. Her personal life is usually kept in private, but it has been said that she once had an short affair with some handsome man. Sadly, her career is put in jeopardy when her voice is taken away and no matter what happens, can’t seem to get it back. Contact: Nicole Kidman, Anne Hathaway, Brit McKillip, Demi Lovato, Emmy Rossum, Brittany Snow and Emile Claire Barlow, Also gets top billing alongside Derek Spats and Solomon Donally. Change of plan, after some thought: We have decided to instead ask Hailee Steinfeld to play the younger version of Ruby Gold. › Major Role: Jessica Diamond: Hip, young and trendy, Jessica Diamond is a rising star amongst the pop song catagory and will let you know about it. Bratty, spoiled and impatient, she finds herself entitled to success and will not take no for an answer. That being said, she does have a moral compass even though she is found to be the first suspect in Derek case and even helps in the case. (Contact: Taylor Swift, free to perform Jessica’s hit song, Diamond For Life in concert) Bronson Clux: The owner of Music Money Records, Bronson is a successful businessman with a heart of gold. He loves Ruby Gold like a sister and finds her wholly responsible for the company’s success, going as far as to give up his company and give Jessica Diamond a iron clad, multi million dollar contract should Derek fail to solve his case. Contact: Robert Downey Jr, Jim Carrey, Jermey Irons, Terry Crews and (don't laugh) Carol Spinney of Sesame Street fame. Oswald Kitch: The travel agent, manager and boyfriend of Jessica Diamond, Oswald Kitch is very overconfident and raises his hopes too high, he gets nervous very easily during tense situations and can never say no to Jessica Diamond. (No, seriously; he can’t. He’ll be fired if he does) Contact: Neil Patrick Harris, David Bedella and Tim Curry (also contacted for this role) › Minor Role: The Police Cadets- Four men who are part of San Francisco District 12 police department. Since they usually appear together, I will list all of their names and personalities here. Ken: Tenor, youngest and doesn’t speak very much; very good with pen and has the potential to sing at unknown times. (Contact: Tommy Wazelle) Rupert: Baritone, but can be tenor in necessary. Eldest of the bunch; wise, always with good advice with everything except chemistry. (Contact: Howard McGillis) Jodi: Tenor leaning on Coutertenor, always curious of the world around him, easily the most care-free; has a bottle collection he keeps at home for good luck. (Contact: Tom Kenny) Drake: Bass, stoic, placid, talks in a rather monotone voice; all the ladies love him for some reason. (Contact: Jimmy Fallon, promote this movie however you like) Dr. Jones: Doctor for the San Francisco Patent Hospital, checks on Ruby Gold after she loses her voice from ‘crushed vocal chords’. Contact: Hugh Jackman, Jim Cummings and Steve Burns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
