Make a Movie

    If, in some bizarre unrealistic circumstance, you had to come up with a movie that would be a box office hit, what movie would you come up with? It doesn't have to be necessarily good, just appealing to a certain amount of people. For instance, if you made a movie about vampires you would probably pull in a lot of Twilight fans.

    I'd try to appeal to the zombie fans and the animal lovers and make a sequel to Marley and Me where the dog comes back to life and Owen Wilson has to kill it before it zombilizes (?) his whole family. Also, there will be a cameo from Miley Cyrus. It would be a **** movie obviously but it might do well at the box office.

    I'd probably make a biopic of Kurt cobain. Something like they did for Ian Curtis in Control. Music fans would watch it so I'd probably make a fortune even if it was crap. Although if I did make a dog's dinner of it I'd probably be hated for ever but whatever.

    Naked ladies with machine guns. Throw in some nazi robots for the sci-fi nerds.
    The naked ladies want the freedom for same-sex marriage that is allowed in other galaxies. That's your plot. It ends happily.

    How about a robot who travels back in time for some reason, his best friend is a talking pie?

    They're doing that, and that crazy cow Courtney Love wants to play herself.

    I've written a treatment for a historical epic that could be as big as Gladiator. (In theory.) It's set in an era that has been completely overlooked by movies to date: not Ancient, Medieval or Renaissance, and features a strong & complicated female lead who saves the day. And the best part is that it's all true, at least as true as history ever gets.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    What about a film about vampires who sparkle in the sun. It would be a new genre. Campvire films.

    "cork confidential" a gritty thriller, bouncing between the mardyke and blackpool. following the seemingly mundane existence of "mickey", the binman, who, when hes done with refuse, turns to the even dirtier side of cork's seedy underbelly........naked line dancing, where
    he assumes the identity of "scrotal". the first rule of "N.L.D" is : you do not talk about "N.L.D"

    Flakes on a Train.

    A film about 99's going on a train.

    Cakes on a train could be the sequel. A heart rending action movie about a bakers convention in Galway.

    A WWI flick in the vein of Charley's War from the Battle comic in the 1980's

    so a disaster movie then


    I'm toying with something along the lines of a man goes out his front door and gets hit in the groin by a football

    I would shoot it all in green screen and have many training montages.

    An ordinary guy eats a lot of takeaways. Unbeknownst to him, the proprietor of the restaurant has been taking so financial short cuts, and dealing with neighbourhood strays in one fell sweep. So a few dozen cat burgers later, the guy's house becomes filled with the disquiet spirits of stray cats, who use their ghostly powers to lead the guy to a series of clues, which result in the protagonist alerting the health board and animal rescue, the subsequent closure of the villain's restaurant.

    Probably going to team up with Christopher Nolan for this one.
