Okay, so this is not a "pure" kung-fu movie, which may surprise anyone who was following along in the Movie Draft last summer. Still, it is an fWo Entertainment production, which means that there will be more than a couple extended martial arts fight scenes in the movie.

Unlike some of the other participants, (and not unlike my trends in previous drafts) I am willingly imposing a handicap on myself not to select anybody who's already dead. And, with that in mind, I can't think of anyone alive today that I would rather have as my fight choreographer than San Te, aka Johnny Mo, aka Pai Mei, aka the Living Legend...

Ah yes, the votes. Time for a little annoucnement/discussion:

VF21 suggested something to me last week that sounded like a good idea, and I have since been mentally fleshing it out. People are putting a tremendous amount of thought/work into these things, and this is the movies right? So rather than having the normal bracket sort of approach where your fate is to a certain degree a matter of luck in who you match up with and half the people die int he first round, I was thinking of the following:

Have one big poll (or if the software won't allow the extension of the poll to 16 items, have two 8 movie polls), and allow each voter to "spend" a certain number of votes/dollars to watch movies per round. In other words, in round 1 with all 16 movies available, allow each voter to "watch"/vote for let's say the 4 movies they would most like to watch that round. After a week in the theaters, close the poll and send the 4 (or whatever) lowest grossing movies off to the DVD market. Then the remaining movies make it into week 2, I'm thinking possibly with their week 1 earnings intact, everybody gets new votes/dollars to spend, and you vote on the 3 (or whatever) movies you'd most like to see during the second week. Etc. Chop off the lowest grossers at the end of the week, and go to the third round, and then a 4th. Whoever has the most votes/highest gross at the end of the final week = the winner.

Would perhaps diversify the voting -- you might not have the favorite movie/genre of a particular voter, but maybe you might be the 4th favorite and they will vote to check it out.

Aye! This might help me do better than one week. I have a lot of bills to pay. Musicals ain't cheap, you know.

Sounds fun. It also shakes it up a bit. :D
 
Alright, I was going to snag my writer this round, but I think he's safe a bit longer, so I'll go with another girl instead.

Rose McGowan as Bunny Bordeaux -- I've been trying so far to pick actors who are appropriate for their specific role, but who aren't typecast in that role. With the character above on her resume, this pick obviously breaks that guideline. However, she pulled it off nicely, got the humor of the whole thing, and clearly moved toward the top of the list when Brick stole my original Bunny.
 
My Pick:
Kevin Durand

Character name: Steven Phillips/The Filth

I kinda had Brad Pitt pegged for this role, but Durand should do just as fine. He might even fit better once I adjust the synopsis to fit the cast.

All characters belong to an original screenplay. copyright Let Me Out Productions.
 
My Pick:
Let Me Out Productions presents
Meagan Goode

as Michelle Salvers/The Feint

She is hot, and I've never seen her as a bad guy.

I realize the names indicate something other-worldly, but I am trying to keep it as realistic as possible. It will all be explained in the over-view.

To make Hell Cats the movie I want it to be, there was really only one way to go with a director.

Russ Meyer -- Director of such films as Mud Honey, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, and Vixen!, Meyer is a cult favorite, a personal favorite, and more than capable of turning a(n admittedly) thin plot about go-go dancers from hell into a big ol' ball of awesome.

More info, for those who may not be familiar.

Didn't Jack get his first starting role in one of Meyer's films?

Uh huh, whatever. Who's the girl? :D
 
My cast is pretty much set, except for one other role. I need a special effects man, so I might as well go with an Academy Award winner...

OK, I'm managing to stay on top of things.

Gotta have a stellar, slightly dark, mood establishing soundtrack. And for that I'm going with the man behind the music of Pan's Labrynth ... who just so happens to have more ethnic credibility than most of my cast in the period peice. Sigh

Me-OW!

OK, I'm coming up soon, but we're going to be away from the i-net for a few days, so feel free to pass me up if my turn does not come within the next 10 minutes.

So I take it that Spike is away, so I can skip him and make my selection. Pick up coming :).
 
I'd like to invite one more broad to my sausage party. Couldn't think of anyone better :). With my 11th pick, I select:

Jodie Foster
(Theresa Wiggin (American)/General Pace (Australian))

Filmography:

Theresa Wiggin - A fictional character from the Ender's Game series of novels by Orson Scott Card. She is the mother of Peter, Valentine and Ender Wiggin, and the wife of John Paul Wiggin.

More:
She appeared in the novels Ender's Game, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, Shadow of the Giant, and Ender in Exile and is a central character in a prequel to Ender's Game, the short story "Teacher's Pest".

In "Teacher's Pest," the chronological first account of Theresa, then Theresa Brown, is given. She is depicted as a graduate student researching community formation and social connections, but overshadowed by her father, who is renowned as a theoretical military genius. It is guessed by Theresa and John Paul in "Teacher's Pest" that John Paul's forced attendance of her class may be a ploy by the International Fleet to allow them to meet.

Although she has hidden her Mormon faith, she remains devoutly religious when allowed to speak freely, which is rare. She prayed over the sleeping Ender when he was young, and in a conversation with Bean in Shadow of the Hegemon reveals efforts on behalf of her children to raise them religiously were stifled by the International Fleet's interest in them and the fact that the Fleet would have undoubtedly interfered had they attempted to instill a specific value set.

After both Peter and Valentine were determined to be inappropriate for Battle School, the International Fleet bent their population restrictions and allowed the unfettered birth of Ender. As a Third, a child born third to the family, Ender faced discrimination, but it is revealed that Theresa and John Paul intended to have a third child regardless of the International Fleet restrictions for religious reasons.

She also notes that it was too late to teach Peter religion, but that after seeing his violent, ambitious, and ruthless tendencies, she tried with John Paul to teach him basic concepts like decency, although at the time Peter despised them both.

She is a minor character in the Ender quartet but is given a much more prominent role in the Shadow Series. It is revealed in the Shadow series that she and her husband, John Paul, were fully aware of Peter Wiggin's actions as a teen and his work under the penname "Locke". The series also outlines in detail the struggles she experienced as the mother of three of the most brilliant minds on Earth.
General Pace - The chief of the I.F. military police, Pace wants Graff to do something about the plot to harm Ender. Graff wins out, and Ender saves himself, although Bonzo dies in the fight.

We are all geniuses when we dream, the butcher is the poet's equal there. ~E.M. Cioran, The Tempation to Exist


Title of film:
(subject to change)
Weave

Edward Norton in the lead role as Ryan Helmsley/ Agent Vigil
Don Cheadle in a supporting role as Oliver Wallace/ Agent Havok
Charlize Theron will be credited as Julia Turner/ The Flame
Natalie Portman in a supporting role as Heather Turner/ Agent Unseen
Justin Long in a minor role as Dennis/Agent Wireless
Tim Roth in a supporting role as Mr. Samuel Carson/ The Frost
Jeff Bridges in a supporting role as Scott Helmsley (Dad)/ Commander Helmsley aka Agent Shake

Quick premise:
Ryan Helmsley is a legal assistant to Mr. Samuel Carson, a very well-known lawyer. He works with Oliver Wallace, Heather Turner, and Mr. Carson's nephew, Dennis. He doesn't hate his job, but he doesn't like it either. It isn't necessarily what he does with his life, but it is what he does with his time. The problem is, that every time he goes to sleep, he wakes up as the same person, in the same world in his dreams. His job description is a little different.

Every night when his day ends and his dreams begin, he wakes up a trained agent for an exclusive federal program as designed under the Obama Administration.

.... and that should do it for tonight. I need some sleep, figured I would make best of the inspiration while it was there.

When does it hit theatres? I'm there, dammit!
 
Thanks Supes! I guarantee you won't be let down. I might actually script this whole thing out, and just throw it in with some of my other stuff.

I'm in school for a major called Film and Digital Media, so hopefully some o my early training kicks in haha
