Tropical Island Make-Your-Own-Movie Draft (Round 16)

Capt. Factorial · Jul 15, 2009

For my last acting role, I'm going to grab a Jim Jarmusch favorite who recently had a nice turn in 24: Issach de Bankole. He'll be playing the role of Jaime.

Brian Cox

Superman · Jul 15, 2009

Superman SCE is excited to add John Turturro to our cast in a supporting role. Mr. Turturro's outstanding work in Secret Window will never be forgotten, and we look forward to his presence on set.

Jespher · Jul 15, 2009

I love the Turturro pick Supes! One of my favorite actors ever, and oh so versatile

.

Bricklayer · Jul 15, 2009

Ok, now if you people will just kindly stop picking, all I have to do is enter the following information in all the appropriate lines and links ont he front page and I will be all caught up:

and now for a little of the unexpected:

Well, Kylie Minogue tried out for the part, but unfortunately, this ain't a Bollywood movie. That being said, my next pick is:

Aishwarya Rai

The Queen of Bollywood!

One of Time's 100 Most Influential People
The world's most beautiful woman, according to Julia Roberts, and now, starring in Space Nuts!

Ah, with this and GGG's last pick I see we have now entered the out of ideas so let's just add a pretty girl portion of the draft. Which is officially approved of BTW.

Bricklayer · Jul 16, 2009

And I think I'll round out the family with grandpa being senile:

[yt=Lloyd Bridges]FKDLZGATmk4[/yt]
Lloyd Bridges

Had a few different thoughts on who to cast in this role, but I could not think of anybody who could be more benevolent and chipper when cluelessly telling Drew that the family ate grandma for Thanksgiving a few years back.

Dime Dropper · Jul 16, 2009

I'll take:

Catherine Zeta Jones

Why is a Bollywood actress illogical for a musical?

Nice pick. I was thinking of her.

Okay got it -- I'll remember and if your normal 24 hours is/would spill over into Monday or later, we'll hold up so you can have a chance to post as normal. Otherwise we'll just skip you until you get back.

Hope everything is as ok as can be expected amongst the family.

VF21 · Jul 16, 2009

Ranger needs an assistant, someone who will be there to help clean up the mess and get answers when time is of the essence. So, with that in mind - and because eye candy is just as important on the distaff side - Forest Dweller Productions is proud to announce that Vin Diesel has joined our cast as "Tank."

kingsnation · Jul 16, 2009

I won't be able to make my pick until like 9 or 10 tonight, so if the draft swings back around to me before then, just go ahead and skip me and PM Supes. I will check in tonight to see if I'm up or not.

NME · Jul 16, 2009

John Wayne

Hawk Cahill (Former Army Captain) - This grizzled veteran of the Indian Wars is a true leader of men, but was ultimately dishonorably discharged for his drinking problem and questionable field tactics. He now makes his living as the commanding officer of a private army of mercenaries.

Bricklayer · Jul 16, 2009

Now you're just adding legends because you can.

He was always in the plan, but I figured I was safe waiting this long without even a war movie, let alone another western out there.

Monty'sBiggestFan · Jul 16, 2009

MBF Studios next selects.....

Cheech Marin - Supporting Actor

We are pleased that Mr. Marin signed on to bring his comedic talents to our cast.

Monty'sBiggestFan · Jul 16, 2009

MBF Studios next announces....

Forest Whitaker - Supporting Actor

All of us at the studios and involved in the production of this film are absolutely giddy beyond belief that we have landed an actor with credits Mr. Whittaker has.

NME · Jul 16, 2009

John Woo - Second Unit Director

Tarantino, the ultimate movie nerd, was psyched enough about the opportunity to pluck film legends from the timestream and play off their iconic histories. Now he gets the luxury of enlisting one of his greatest heroes and influences just for purposes of staging and shooting his gunfights.

There you guys go running off making picks again. Do you not understand? Picks are a pain in the *** to update on the front page! Stop it!

Monty'sBiggestFan · Jul 16, 2009

Ok brick, I will refrain from picking for at least the next two days...

ACK! I am sooooo sorry! I didn't realize I hadn't posted my pick.

We have a small but interesting role that only someone with a certain panache could deliver. Forest Dweller Productions is very happy to announce that the role of "undertaker" will be played by Peter Lorre.

Emma · Jul 17, 2009

Is this the most extremely huge draft of all time or what? you could burn hours just going over this thread!

For that I am grateful. This is crazy entertaining.

From one of my favorite movies:

[discussing the body count]
Dr. Einstein: You got twelve, they got twelve.
[angrily grabs Dr. Einstein's necktie]
Jonathan Brewster: I've got thirteen!
Dr. Einstein: No, Johnny, twelve - don't brag.
Jonathan Brewster: Thirteen! There's Mr. Spinalzo and the first one in London, two in Johannesburg, one in Sydney, one in Melbourne, two in San Francisco, one in Phoenix, Arizona...
Dr. Einstein: Phoenix?
Jonathan Brewster: The filling station...
Dr. Einstein: Filling station? Oh!
[slits throat]
Dr. Einstein: Yes.
Jonathan Brewster: Then three in Chicago and one in South Bend. That makes thirteen.
Dr. Einstein: You cannot count the one in South Bend. He died of pneumonia!
Jonathan Brewster: He wouldn't have died of pneumonia if I hadn't shot him!
Dr. Einstein: No, no, Johnny. You cannot count him. You got twelve, they got twelve. The old ladies is just as good as you are!

Bricklayer · Jul 18, 2009

One advantage of working in comedy with only 1 1/2 competitors is that I should get my choice of directors...at which point I realize that there may not be a perfect director for a dark comedy about a family of cannibals with a cast drawn from at least three different great comic traditions. So I'm going to go with a duo who revels in the offensive and has the best chance to make Growing Up Cannibal this summer's comic blockbuster:

The Farrelly Brothers
