Sapphire Faerie, your casting for Fearless really fits the characters. :) I love those books.

would it be about an existing character?
Yeah, it'd be based on my friend and I.
what would the name be?
"Cheeseburger in Paradise." :P You know, after the Jimmy Buffet song. (Though we'd have to get the rights of the song and whatnot, but I do have an unlimited budget...)
what genre would it be?
Comedy, Drama...really random
how long would it be?
However long it takes
what would it be about?
Basically the friendship of two girls based on my friend and I. How they met in art class, how they had the most random of discussions. At the end of the movie the one girl moves away to Florida...it sounds dull but it would be hilarous and then painfully depressing at the end.
what actors would play in it?
Ummm...not sure. Probably no big actors. Maybe some of my friends who act in school? o_O

This gothic-ish girl's boyfriend dies, and she keeps seeing visions of him in dreams, always accompanied by three riders dressed in white. In every dream, he tells her to wake up. When she's awake, she starts seeing the riders, even though her friends can't. As she slowly goes insane, everyone starts ostracizing her. Then she finds out that she actually died, and her boyfriend's trying to bring her back.

No clue.

would it be about an existing character?
It would be about Napoleon Bonaparte.

what would the name be?
hmm... I dunno, probably something straightforward.

what genre would it be?
Drama, Historic

how long would it be?
I'd try not to go over 3 hours, but he did live a fascinating life. 2 and a half would be the ideal length though.

what would it be about?
Just Napoleon I's life in general. It has been doen before, but the things I've seen aren't completely historically accurate and they could have been a million times better.

what actors would play in it?
I have no idea. IWow, this is requiring a lot of though, don't care how famous or popular they are though, just that they are believable in the role and they're playing, especially Nappy and Josphine(his first wife, fascinating woman!).

Sat Apr 09, 2005 2:43 am

would it be about an existing character? Probably one of my own Role Playing characters.
what would the name be? Really? It depends on what plot it is.
what genre would it be? Fantasy. With a little bit of romance, horror, suspense, mystery, and what not, perhaps.
how long would it be? Um, I don't know? Don't want to make it too long, though, I'd try to make it about 1 and a half hours if possible.
what would it be about? I have so many plots its not funny. x_x
what actors would play in it? There are a few I found that might fit the part, however, I don't know their names. =/

If I were to make a movie, I'd like to try to make a new movie of Little Shop of Horrors. However, I'd use the complete musical script and actually not edit things out, like the 1986 movie. Also, I'd see if I could fit in the demo songs that are on the end of the 2003 Broadway cast recording.

Now, on to the questions...

Would it be about an existing character?
Yeah. Lots of 'em.

What would the name be?
Little Shop of Horrors

What genre would it be?
Comedy/musical

How long would it be?
The stage show averages around an hour and a half, so I guess about that length. Of course, if I added in the 5 demo songs, it would be longer.

What would it be about?
The same exact story as the musical. Seymour finds a weird plant and names it Audrey II, after a girl named Audrey. They work at Mushnik's Skid Row Florist Shop. The plant brings fame and fortune, but it eats blood, and only Seymour knows the secret. Seymour feeds Audrey's abusive dentist boyfriend to the plant, as well as Mushnik. Eventually, the plant kills Audrey, and Seymour tries to destroy it and gets eaten in the process. That's just a basic, minimal outline of the plot.

What actors would play in it?
Knowing me, I'd probably cast myself as Seymour. If not, I'd probably get Jonathan Rayson, who played the part when I saw the Broadway tour when it came here.
I'd like to see if Alicia Keys would be good as one of the duop girls. For some reason, I think she'd make a good Crystal. I'm not sure about Chiffon and Ronnette, though.
I'd also like to see if Steven Page from BNL would be good as Orin Scrivello, D.D.S. Of course, whomever I got to play Orin would also play Bernstein, Mrs. Luce, Skip Snip, and Patrick Martin, since that's the way the stage show is meant to be done.
Mushnik would definitely have to be someone Jewish. Not sure who, though.
For the voice of Audrey II, I'd probably have to go with the guy who did the voice on the 2003 Broadway cast recording. I forget his name.
And as for Audrey, I would want to get my friend Jael, who played Audrey in our school's production. She has, like, the perfect voice for the part, and she played it very well. Only problem is that the part is written to be a blonde white girl, and Jael is black. So, yeah, some hardcore fans might want to see Audrey played by the kind of person she was written to be. But hey, it's my movie and not theirs, so ha. I can make it how I like it.
I also think it would be neat to get Rick Moranis to play the first customer to see Audrey II, just as a reference to the 1986 movie. (Rick Moranis played Seymour in the 1986 movie.)



You can't prove I'm addicted to Little Shop of Horrors. :P

would it be about an existing character? No.
what would the name be? I don't know.
what genre would it be? Comedy.
how long would it be? Maybe 2 hours or 1 hour and 45 minutes.
what would it be about? A random comedy, about how this teenager who starts a pet grooming thing for the summer and he gets help from his uncle.. :O
what actors would play in it?
Teenager - Josh Groban (;))
Uncle - Jim Carrey
Then I'd work January Jones in as the teenager's girlfriend. Yes. And she would have a cockatoo. Named Puffy.

....

This will be real someday. :>

A fearless movie would be awesome.

He was actually the very first character I decided on, way back when I first started reading the series. Everything about him just screamed Tobey Maguire.

It's not a movie by Medli unless has the Groban in there.

And Sapphire Faerie, I can see Tobey Maguire as Sam. I think he'd probably have to grow his hair a few more inches though. (It did say that Sam's curls wrapped sweetly around his ear in book 5 when he was with Heather watching TV...wow I read too much.)
