    CASH IN THE ATTIC - A horror film adaptation from the popular TV series starring Pat Cash hiding in someone's attic and scaring anybody who goes up there.

    Guy lying back on a sofa in a dimly lit room (empty pizza boxes and Grolsch bottles strewn about the place). His upper torso covered is Michael Myers tattoos. There are DVD box covers from every Halloween movie in the series. Jamie Lee Cutis poster on the wall. He's staring at a laptop screen and doesn't blink even once in the three minutes in takes for the camera to close in on his face. The guy is just an empty soul-less vessel. Slowly the camera goes behind him an we see what he sees .. .. the After Hours forum's front page.

    He's looking at a thread entitled 'AH Halloween Beers' (scrolling through each post emotionless. His face is fiendish, grim, morbid. The last post on the thread reads: "Only two hours to go everyone, see you all there!" and slowly we see his icy fingers run along the trackpad where he clicks on: 'Post Reply' .. and (in what seems like an eternity) types: 'See you all real soon!'.

    (From outside we see him leave in the darkness, walk to his car and from over his shoulder as he opens the boot of his car, we see a Michael Myers mask .. and a very large meat cleaver. He glances around and gets into his car, reaches for the glove box and removes a CD. He starts the engine and drives off to his first AH Beers as the song coming from his car stereo gets louder and louder: 'No more days to Halloween Halloween, Halloween, .. no more days to Halloween, Silver Shamrock!)

    Have any boardsies had a great plot for a film that they dream would be picked up by a Hollywood stidio and see the light of day?

    How about this for a film idea?


    The Rotten Apple

    This film is set in New York - AKA the Big Apple.

    It stars Matt Damon and Jeremy Irons as a up an coming over-enthusiastic detective and a cyncial seen-it-all-before FBI agent respectively - Sears and Fundy. The film is set in the Spring of 1976. There is massive corruption and the heart of New York is rotten. The Mob heavily influences City Hall and there is a huge new area of glittering glass and steel skyscrapers being built in Manhattan. The new complex looks incredible - but the darkness behind it is unimaginable.

    Iron's character - Jim Fundy - knows that there is massive corruption and money laundering going on - much of which is linked to the new skyscraper complex but he just can't prove it. He also has one of the world's very first mobile telephones. It came to him from 25 years in the future and he can use it to predict the future and sense danger.

    However, he has now disappeared. Sears is aware of this and wants to know Fundy's - and his phone's - whereabouts because he is about to blow the whole criminal scam wide open with the evidence Fundy left for him on the phone before he disappeared.

    After attending a cult worshipping ceremony in an old 19th century warehouse moderated by a charismatic but evil woman (played by Beyonce), Sears feels that his life is in danger and that what happened to Fundy will be his fate too. Sears befriends a young female cult member and takes her out of the cult to accompany him. He falls in love with the girl. However, the criminals and the cult are closely intertwined and they will stop at nothing to get to Sears and the girl - and the mobile phone - to stop the horrific truth from being revealed. Sears is now a fugitive - he is on the run.

    Sears eventually finds Fundy's mobile telephone, which he uses to find out the hideous truth of the evil side to New York city. But he has to keep his wits about him because right behind him are a vertiable army of drag queen assassins who will stop at nothing to brutally murder him and everyone he comes into contact with.

    In one very close shave, Sears manages to escape from a conference being held on the future of New York at the World Trade Centre. Becuase immediatly after he flees, about 50 or so drag queens open machine gun fire at the conference and kill dozens of people (including some of themselves in exchanges of "friendly" fire) in a shocking display of bloodlust and wanton violence. The screams of the innocent are palpable. The place ends up as a bloodbath.

    In the end, Sears decides that the truth is too dangerous to reveal as there is too much at stake...he throws the mobile telephone into the East River and walks away, to start a new life in a new place under a new identity.

    There would be no cellular network in 1976, no coverage. Boom!!! You're fillum's a bust!

    KuntPunt : An Abortive Tale

    Ireland...........2011.............the economy lies in ruins.........people are milking the system left, right and centre...........crooked politicians, dole scroungers, immigrants.............taking from the poor to give to themselves..........the people live in constant fear, terrified they may have to get off their holes, give up their cushy existence and get a job.

    But amidst the financial chaos, a beacon of hope begins to shine..........a hero will rise to save the nation in it's darkest hour.......enter.....KuntPunt......dishing out his own brand of street justice in the form of violent abortions to prospective single mothers, singlehandedly shortening waiting list for council houses and dramatically cutting consumption of state funded nappies in half.

    No loose-legged geebag is safe, knicker droppers everywhere can no longer keep their ankles warm at the expense of the taxpayer. If you like to get them off ya after two cans of cider and a bag of chips, if you've ever woken up with a sore fanny after one too many G&T's, if you've ever sucked off a stranger in Coppers, then you better pray you don't get up the pole or you may just get Punted, Kunt.

    When he's given the phone from the future does that mean that they've transported a satellite back in time to give it reception also?

    Another thing is the mobile an iPhone? You could use this as the reason why the mob hear about it. Jim Fundy is just another apple ásshole that can't stop telling everyone he has an iPhone and thats how the mob catch wind of it.

    A gigantic ship made out of ice, sinks on it's maiden voyage when it hits a ship.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,037 ✭✭✭Plazaman


    It's 1938. John Schindler, originally from Spiddle in Galway, emigrates to Germany in search of building work. He is getting on fine until World War 2 breaks out. Fast forward 5 years and John, increasingly depressed and frustrated at the horrors of war all around, has become a raging alcoholic.

    In order to get to drinking establishments or stores to buy his booze, John regularly steals vehicles belonging to the German Army, the SS and Gestapo and drives wrecklessly around whilst buckled drunk. He obliterates any army checkpoint he goes through killing German soldiers left, right and centre. The Allied Forces hear of the "Hero" who seems to be doing more damage to the Third Reich than they are.

    Not my idea. But has anyone played the games Mafia and Mafia 2? The story in those games are brilliant and make me wonder why it was made into game and not a movie. I mean, I reckon you could fit those games into a 3 hour gangster movie each.

    Anyway they should just take the stories from those games and make them into movies. Have Martin Scorsese direct it.

    The basic plot of the stories-
    Mafia: City of Lost Heaven- The story is set in the 1930's in the fictional city of Lost Heaven. Tommy Angelo, a cab driver is forced into the world of organised crime after two mobsters hire him the drive them around. Long story short, Tommy unwillingly becomes a mobster himself and eventually becomes a member of the Saleri Family, headed by Don Ennio Saleri. Tommy rises through the ranks of the Salerio family who are in a war with rival mob family the Morello family.

    Cast
    Leonardo DiCaprio- Tommy Angelo
    Lillo Brancato- Sam
    Jason Cerbone- Paulie
    Joe Pesci- Don Saleri

    Mafia 2- The story is set in the fictional city of Empire Bay between 1943-1951. Vito Scaletta as a teenager who turned to crime at a young age with his best friend Joe Barbaro. Having come from a poor backround, Vito had always dreamed of hitting it big and becoming rich and getting away from the slums, which led to him turning to crime. Vito is arrested after a botched robbery and is forced to join the army and take part in WW2. After being injured in the war he is sent home, but manages to get out of going back to war when he meets his friend Joe and Joe get's him out of the army. Vito then get's back into a life a crime alongside his friend Joe and then things go on from there. Vito get's involved with both the Clemente Family headed by Don Alberto Climente, where he befriends Henry Tomasino(FBI informer) and later the Falcone Family headed by Don Carlo Falcone. He also befriends Leo Galante the consigliere to Don Frank Vinchi of the Vinchi family.

    Cast
    Vito Scalleta- Tom Hardy- I know he's not Italian but still
    Joe Barbaro- Can't think of any actors who fit the picture
    Henry Tomasino- Also can't think of anyone
    Carlo Falcone- James Gandolfini
    Alberto Clemente- Chazz Palminteri
    Leo Galante- Robert Loggia
    Frank Vinchi- Robert DeNiro

    Facekicker : Birth of a kicker

    The story follows our hero Dave Kickowski, a Polish immigrant setting up his new life on the hard streets of Dublin. Dave is a lonely man, trolling forums by day in the eternal search for a fight by antagonising the locals with taunts of kicking people in the face. By night he is "FaceKicker" a crime fighting nerd that kicks people in the face.



    I know it needs some more substance, think of it as a work in progress. I even have a sequel, toying with the idea of "Facekicker vs The Citizen" :D

    The Vortex To Darkness

    The plot: a group of very decadent "beautiful" people are on the Eurostar train service form Paris to London. They are partying hard on the train whilst 19th century Dickensian street urchins do a variety of back-breaking tasks.

    Soon it is time to plunge into the Channel Tunnel as part of their journey. The train climbs up a huge incline and like a rollercoaster abruptly dives down a huge drop right into the tunnel. Many street urchins die in this feat of reckless rail acrobatics, particularly the less fortunate ones that work in the tunnel.

    Eventually the Eurostar makes it to London, but then a few of the passengers realise that there was something truly, hideously evil on their train. They travel to a huge red-brick English country house which collapses in on itself into a vortex that leads straight to hell. They then look up into the sky and see the most hideous face they have ever seen and scream in terror.

    Then they are pulled, one by one, into the vortex where the house once stood. Only one survives the experience to tell the tale.
