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

[bozzwell]

There ya go -- you automatically win Slim's vote. The gentleman from Chicago may be a bit slow on the uptake but in the end he comes through in the clutch.

I made sure Slim and Spike are in the game before selecting the photo.

After all the fun they gave me in the Babes draft, it's the least I can do.

 

[Spike]

Well, if I can't vote for myself...

 

[kingsnation]

Gary times out in less than an hour?

 

[kingsnation]

Sorry, walked away for 2 minuted and forgot about the draft.

My #7 pick is actress:

Halle Berry

Bozz made his pick at 6:18 yesterday, therefore Gary has timed out per 24 hour clock. My pick is coming.

Glenn Close

She has been excellent in the television series Damages.

 

[Bricklayer]

In an early example of what a few extra rounds can do, I suddenly have room for a small but hilarious role for:

Cary Elwes

As a swarmy art thief.

 

[GoGoGadget]

Sigh... Oh, Westley...

Sigh...

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I have been asked by VF21 to convey her pick on her behalf. She's going with:

Round 7: Janet Evanovich - screenwriter

 

[NME]

Jack Nicholson

 

[VF21]

Your cast is truly impressive, NME. I can't wait to see your plot synopsis.

 

[Monty'sBiggestFan]

Took a few minutes to figure out what I wanted to do at this juncture with the new added rounds. This one pick has a role tho...

MBF Studio selects next:

Jada Pinkett-Smith - Supporting Actress

 

[Monty'sBiggestFan]

MBF Studios next selects.....


Benicio del Toro - Supporting Actor

My director wants him...so I best take him, exact role to be determined - he's considered for three.

 

[NME]

There's been some snickering around industry circles that the working title of my film should be "Tumbleweed Sausage Party", so I'll put an end to that talk by finally announcing my leading lady:

Grace Kelly

Perhaps the most glamorous woman in Hollywood history:

Figuratively and literally a Princess:

She has screen history with my leading man:

Yep, a man with a woman like that for a wife is liable to do absolutely anything for her:

 

[VF21]

I have to admit, NME, that I am totally and completely fascinated by your casting thus far...

And now, with our key contributor firmly ensconsed in Forest Dweller Productions, we can get back to casting.

With our next pick, we're getting Estelle Getty for a small but most likely award nomination worthy role as Grandma Mazur in our upcoming production. We'll be filling in the names of the rest of the character assignments shortly.

 

[NME]

I have to admit, NME, that I am totally and completely fascinated by your casting thus far...

I'm amazed that I'm getting everyone who I ever imagined getting, so if it doesn't work it is a failure of concept.

 

[Spike]

"Tumbleweed Sausage Party"

*snicker*

 

[Bricklayer]

For my next selection suddenly possible with the extra rounds, my swarmy art thief needs a partner in crime:

Christina Hendricks

Who's role is small enough I would normally wait, but who I know has at least 2 people up at the other end of the draft who could be threats to take her at any point, just because. Its hard to find beautiful women who can really do comedy, and this role calls for a seductress able to hold her swarmy own with Cary Elwes. Should make a great couple.

 

[VF21]

The addition of the extra rounds made it possible for me to actually draft the person who created all the characters for my film. Since that's now been done I can safely give character assignments to the actors already under contract to Forest Dweller Productions:

Rnd 1: Antonio Banderas -- Lead Actor - Ricardo Carlos "Ranger" Mañoso
Rnd 2: Queen Latifah -- Actress - Lula
Rnd 3: Sandra Bullock -- Lead Actress - Stephanie Plum
Rnd 4: Brad Pitt -- Actor - Joe Morelli
Rnd 5: Danny DeVito -- Actor - cousin Vinnie Plum
Rnd 6: Billy Wilder -- Director
Rnd 7: Janet Evanovich - Screenwriter
Rnd 8: Estelle Getty - Actress - Grandma Edna Mazur

 

[kingsnation]

Well, I've got all of the MAJOR roles out of the way besides maybe 2 which I think are pretty safe.

So, now it's time to introduce our Director.

The Nation Proudly Presents...

Andy Tennant

Reuniting with both Perry and Witherspoon as leads.

[kingsnation]

PM sent to Gary, 2 picks.

 

[SacKings7]

Don't we skip people who have timed out with no makeup pick made?

 

[VF21]

Yep. I believe that was the consensus of opinion.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Christina Hendricks

I wouldn't walk the streets without an armed escort, if I were you...

 

[VF21]

FYI - I went ahead and sent a PM to bozzwell since I believe Gary is "off the clock" until he returns to make the pick he's already missed.

 

[bozzwell]

I pick...

James Earl Jones - supporting actor (voice)

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I'm a bit hesitant to make this pick because I was hoping to avoid having my cast be a sort of "movie reunion". I'm already planning on selecting one actor who has shared screen time with another already on my list (and possibly a second, from the same film!) and this actress has already been a female lead for my director. But saying that, I can't see anybody better to play the role I want her to play, so I'm going to go with it. For a supporting role I select Julie Delpy.

 

[Bricklayer]

I pick...

James Earl Jones - supporting actor (voice)

Such a great voice that I would burn an actor spot on him just to do an opening voice over.

 

[Spike]

I pick...

James Earl Jones - supporting actor (voice)

Curse you. Now I need a new bass...perhaps a baritone, I suppose.

 

[GoGoGadget]

For my next selection suddenly possible with the extra rounds, my swarmy art thief needs a partner in crime:

Christina Hendricks

****. You.

She was my next pick. Now I'll have to find a new Bunny Bordeaux.
