As a novelist, I would SO make a movie out of my book. I am a very visual writer (I see, hear, smell, etc whatever I'm writing), and one of my great fantasies is having my story made into a movie, the music I'd pick, the sets, the scenery, the cast, etc...what a dream!!!

1.) Would you base it on a book, do a remake or come up with a new idea?

It'd be based on my book, obviously

2.) What would it be about?

It's a medieval fantasy about a half-sprite creature who escapes from a torturous life as a fighting slave and tries to find a new existence in the world, but she winds up suffering quite a few trials and horrors (you know me, I can't write happy stories lol) before the end. I leave the end hanging, which demands a sequel.

3.) What genre would it be in?

Fantasy

4.) What would be the title?

Same as the book - Shylah and The Arena

5.) Who would you cast in it?

Hmm...never really thought about that.

1.) Would you base it on a book, do a remake or come up with a new idea?
New Idea

2.) What would it be about?
It'd be a romantic comedy about two people who meet on a online forum (maybe a christian forum ) and become a couple.

3.) What genre would it be in?
Romantic comedy

4.) What would be the title?
I'm not sure maybe Online Love

5.) Who would you cast in it?
Kristen Bell
Topher Grace

Sounds good but I like movies with a happy ending (thats my reason for liking "signs") . Oh and having a cliffhanger at the end would annoy me I would make you start filming the sequel straight away.

So who would be cast in it?

 

[latteda]

Oooh, how fun!

1.) Would you base it on a book, do a remake or come up with a new idea?
I wouldn't base it off a particular book, but I would use a lot of elements of the book Paddy's Lament by Thomas Gallagher in it.

2.) What would it be about?
The Irish Potato Famine. There are no good movies out about it, and I don't understand why. It would start out at the very beginning of the Potato Famine and would highlight a community's struggle to survive in their homeland and their emotional and physical plight. It would follow a young man from the family who left to emigrate to America and his difficult voyage and finally end with him making it through Ellis Island.

3.) What genre would it be in?
Drama

4.) What would be the title?
Black '47

5.) Who would you cast in it?
Jonathan Rhys Myers, Judi Dench, David Kelly, Cillian Murphy, and maybe Joe Breen. Not sure about the female roles.

I'm sorry, but my movie would kick all y'all's movies tails.

 

[Tinkerbell33]

No because mine will involve the mafia, a corrupt policeforce and a rich guy with a dark secret who is linked to the woman who finds his wallet (and they both don't know how untill the end).

You're like my mom, lol. She's never seen "Titanic" because of the ending, no matter how great a movie it is. I tell her to just watch up to the iceberg part and then turn it off, but she won't!

I'm not really big on who's who in Hollywood, so .. can I make a list of my characters and then you guys give me suggestions for who to cast?

Yeah Titanic was depressing. . An unhappy ending always makes me feel empty, .

Yeah of course you can make a list. I will suggest some actors/actresses.

 

[Tinkerbell33]

*yawns*

You will totally regret that when I am rich and famous for my movie.

 

[trOlliJokinen]

The Blair Witch Project made a ton of money, I still slept through it. Your movie sounds too much like The Bourne movies and I didn't enjoy them really.

 

[Fremdin]

I would unmake the movie the Black Dahlia because the book so awesome and completely unfit for film. Everything about that movie was wrong, the cast, the plot changes the horrible acting that slow pace. LAME.

I have never really watched the Bourne movies, so someone has already used my idea, awww. Oh and I think I will add Matt Damon to my list of actors, lol.

 

[penNpaper]

a director,writer and casting director.

If you were given a large sum of money and told to create a movie:

1.) Would you base it on a book, do a remake or come up with a new idea?

I probably would base it on a BASED ON A TRUE STORY or just come up with a ORIGINAL romantic/comedy love story with a few drewy plot twists that will make every lady to be all teary at certain parts. I'm good in telling love stories uh huh!!

2.) What would it be about?

A Christian love story. A boy meets girl. They fell in love and suddenly when everything is going alright when SUDDENLY it doesn't work out or something tragic happens..

3.) What genre would it be in?

Romance/Comedy

4.) What would be the title?

A Broken Heart -OR- Broken Hearts

5.) Who would you cast in it?

Victoria Frey - the role of the mother to the boy
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/s...ype=ss&index=books&field-author=Victoria Frey
Robin Williams OR Stevin Martin - a simple role as the girl's father because it just fits with the fatherly role and comedy relief too..

I like Jim Carey as well as Ben Stiller but I want like 'nobody' actors to play the boy and the girl. They started out in plays/theater and then they got their first motion picture chance with my hit romantic/comedy movie. OR I can just called up the two actors from the Note Book to do this movie too..

Drew

1.) Would you base it on a book, do a remake or come up with a new idea? I'd make a historical one, and I'd also like to come up with something new.

2.) What would it be about? The historical one would probably be about the Battle of Vienna. The new one would just be a good old beer-and-pretzels action movie.

3.) What genre would it be in? War for the historical, action for the new one.

4.) What would be the title? I don't know.

5.) Who would you cast in it? Probably Christian Bale, maybe Ray Winstone. For the action flick, if Chuck Norris is interested, why not.

 

[Inkachu]

Drew...hehehe...you're so sweet

 

[Inkachu]

OK, here are some of my main characters...gimme ideas on a cast, since I have no clue who I'd want.

Shylah - 19 yrs old, blond, blue eyed, very small and petite, has to have large, expressive eyes, and a serious and almost sad expression
Ronan - 40ish, tall, black hair, beard, mustache, burly, handsome
Tiernan - an old elf, but looks about 21, silver hair (I know, you won't find an actor with silver hair, we can dye it lol), silver eyes, very tall and thin, handsome in an almost feminine way

Lots of other charries, but most of them aren't anywhere near human, so .. let's start with those 3 I'd love to hear your suggestions! Please post pics if you can, since just giving me an actor's name won't mean much if I don't know what they look like.

Woohoo!
