Movie This Cast Part 2


Imagine if all these actors got to make a film together.
What story would you like to see them tell?


It's been almost a year but as Myriam first noted, the second installment was just a matter of time.

Please keep in mind:
1. This is fantasy so who cares about the budget impossibilities.
2. Long form HBO series stories are fair game.
3. No, I'm not trying to prove a point or get across some deeper message.
4. Yes, perhaps if there's no subtext at all then there's something racial going on.
5. No, not really but you know I like to stir the pot.
6. Good suggestions which will earn something in the mail, which I promise to send sooner than I sent Courtney's Secret Santa gift from last year, which hopefully has actually arrived by now?

Title Me Baby

Hey y'all. So I'm about to start (hopefully) collaborating with a dude on a screenplay. I have a thing about titles. I would like to go into this project with a title in mind, even if that title winds up changing (as it probably will.) But I just wanna have something to call it just like if ya have a baby or adopt a pet of some kind, you just don't wanna call it "Baby" or "Dog (or Cat, Bird etc.)"

So I'll be trying to think of one myself but I will take any suggestion from you guys if it sounds cool enough. If you wanna steal it from a song title, song lyrics or other pieces of literature then that's fine. Quotations, bible verses, whatever. Just gimme something good to work with. If I like anybody's suggestion then, uhm, you can get a walk on part if this baby ever sees the light of day. Or I'll name a character after you or something.

I don't really want to tell the plot of the script but here are some of the ideas and themes I hope to base it on and hopefully that will be enough to give y'all something to work with. It's simultaneously about the nature of evil and the power of perception. This girl I know believes wholeheartedly that there are no real evil people and that when a person does something viewed as "evil" or immoral that there's something that happened sometime in that person's life that drove them down that particular path or course of action. I disagree to an extent. I actually think that may be the case most of the time but I also believe that logically, there just have to be some people out there who just have bad wiring and have absolutely no desire to do "good."

The story concerns two characters: one of whom is a bit of a social outcast and dealt with by most of society in a way that we would rather see him dead or in jail but never would we think to sit him down and ask him "what's up?" The other character (from the outside) appears to be "one of us." He goes to work everyday, pays his taxes, visits/calls his mother frequently, he votes, does everything that a good citizen would do. When the two come together there are fatal results. The story focuses on that particular clash, the 24 hours leading up to it and how the way each man is viewed in society effects our emotional responses to the event.

Don't worry about the plot specifics. If anybody has any suggestions then spit 'em out. I'll read y'all's responses but may not actually comment on them.

(In my own brainstorming I've been focusing on words/phrases that deal with the act of seeing but that doesn't mean everyone else has to. It could be something completely unrelated. Just like the movie Fargo doesn't actually take place in Fargo.)

Thanks in advance everybody!
