Ok, cool

Mods - can this be arranged do you think?

we don't re-invent an old movie - i think we should write our own! along with some input from the lads!!!

I think the lads should write the whole thing. All we need to do is come up with a basic outline, give them names of the characters, and let them write it. If their first draft doesn't have enough action or goat love scenes, they'll have to re-write it.

Oh, and Canada is the way to go for filming. No union problems, excellent work ethic up there, lots of goverment support, tax breaks included.........

Yeah, and we have to film it from November to April when it's cold as hell. The lads have to build their own igloos to sleep in.

Not to mention the goat chariot races - I really think this would be a box office draw. No goat chariot race scene, and the deal's off. Do the love scenes come before or after (or during) the race?

^^^^ oooohhhh.... you mean we can have goat love scenes? - That's a new one for Nollywood!

Posted: Wed Dec 12, 2007 10:11 pm

Make it a daydream during the race. Oh yeah, we need a music sountrack to go with this movie. How well do lads sing?

Posted: Wed Dec 12, 2007 10:12 pm

I can audition them on Sunday's show! - That, we can hear live! I'm definitely thinking they should record the soundtrack!

I was curious as to where your guy was getting some of this BS so I googled..here's some of it.

If you're still looking for an agent, please count me in!

I'm a RL actor and acting coach and would looooove to get some lads some Stanislavsky training, and book him on those "big gigs".

Gonna be a star, kid! Big star!

Perhaps someone could oversee Health and Safety, detailed risk assessments would need to be filled out at each stage.

Risk assessments should:

* Identify the hazards
* Identify all affected by the hazard and how
* Evaluate the risk
* Identify and prioritise the required actions

I'm sure I could supervise the mountains of paperwork and photos that would be required. Twisted Evil

This is sounding like an MGM production. (Mugu Guyman Maga) Very Happy

Some of my favorites.

Hey, I know what that guy needs the 15 grand for, he's gonna loan it to me under a different name...

Quote:

I am in receipt of your email. I will be able to offer you the loan of $15,000.00 .

Okay, we're starting to get somewhere here I think.

So we all agree on certain points, and all have brought in ideas that haven't been discussed much yet (like the goat-chariot-race or juggling burning chainsaws while dancing macarena).

Also we had some really competent input here which needs to be digested, and transformed into something we can slam into the lads face.

A really good idea, which I totally support, is moving the topic to an area where we're safe from "being spied on". I don't have a server to offer, but maybe I can come up with an idea. There's enough free hosters out there, but coding something might take a bit.

FYI, I'm a writer in real life...I would be happy to offer my services in whatever way would be helpful. As for the writer's strike, I can easily be a "scab" willing to work on this project because, hey, we writers gotta make a living, strike or not!

Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2007 3:19 am

I have to say, the guy just couldn't help himself despite his better judgement...

We've established he's a career scammer, and hence untrustworthy - in this partnership we have one relative unknown (us - people who deliberately set out to spanner criminal activity) and one known (him - 100% guaranteed to be a crook), yet he demands goodwill/trust money from us, must be out of his precious mind. Bless, must be force of habit. He has to realise there's no way on God's sweet earth we could trust him with $0.50, but he tries anyway...

Seriously I think our guy would love to be immortalised as the Nigerian Robin Hood (not quite the film I had in mind, but that precious final edit can really change a film around...), and even mentioned being ready to put up funds for a script - that's the first step, before anything else at all, is getting a good script - even with a Nollywood scriptwriter (they can't be expensive - have you ever tried sitting through a Nollywood film?). I'd propose we steer our friend to start working on that right away and see what we get (we can gee it along with 'potential investors' rumours if needs must) - this is where we hit gold documenting his world and motivations for free, and who knows, if he comes up with a great script, I may go and make it all legit and above board Wink

Ice-T, BIG, etc all started as violent criminals and branched into entertainment after all...in fact (thinking aloud here) why not cast Ice-T in the role? We were talking with his agent the other day for another film anyway...

But most importantly, we need to get this out of sight PDQ!

I can help in a couple of ways.
I used to do some writing, although it's not my profession, but I can sign on as a 'scab writer' if you need any.

I also have a lad who might be a very good source of info for this project- Internet-savvy, eager to work, just the kind of lad who might go anywhere to "make the big time".

By the way, where in Nigeria is your guy located- Lagos?

Finally, in regards to the secure environment for continuing discussions, we do have the "safe bunker" over on Yuku- hidden behind a login.

Roll 'em!

I can assure you the scrip (when sent) will not be approved and will need to be re-written.

WHo can pull off a good (not to be rude) "gay" pissed off movie guy calling him honey and all saying this isnt good - trash, etc..

Dear Kw3s1

Please accept my apologies for not replying to you sooner. I am currently in the US and have spent most of the past two days on aeroplanes! I am so tired now and can't wait to hit the hay for the day... However, I am so excited about this opportunity that I just had to email you before I fall asleep.

My friend that i have been telling you about who is a Hollywood Director thinks that this movie could be fantastic! He has been looking to break into Nollywood for quite some time, however, hasn't quite found the right script, nor has he found the right people to work with. You mentioned that you can write? If this is the case, I would like you to put together a story line for the movie... I will also do the same and we can compare notes next week before presenting it back to the Director.

Also, did you manage to speak to any of your boys about playing a part in this film? I need to know confirmed numbers so that we can arrange a casting session should we need any further members.

I'm so glad that you are looking to break free from the scam world, after all. We will be that rich after this movie is successful that we both could retire!

I look forward to your reply - let me know soonest on how many people you have lined up for the film and how log it will take you to write the storyline.

Many Thanks

R4ndy

So, i've ignored his request for money and gone for a draft of the story line... also, let's see how many lads he has lined up to play a part (as these will all need to be screen tested) any ideas for good screen tests???

I'll post later on final parts you guys are playing in the movie and then i'll need you to PM me your email addresses... Laughing

Posted: Sat Dec 15, 2007 10:27 am

I'll be the teaboy (have you seen the Poisoners Handbook?)...

It will be soo sweet, the cast will want to sleeeep...

I'm sorry, but any Lad who wants to screen test must also supply proper ID. You know how the goverment has been since 9/11, and god forbid that they should try to shut us down before we even beigin like they tried with Michael Moore and his last film. The boy did not dot his i's and cross his t's.

This sounds like something I may be able to assist with.

As it turns out I work in Occupational Health and Safety, my major role is to ensure that all required documentation is in place prior to people starting work, I am an absolute pain in the arse to people at work and I am sure that can be applied to some lads.

Forms you say you need, I am sure that I can help there as well.

PM me when you need some OH&S services but be warned my services dont come cheaply Wink

I'll volunteer to be the Gaffer. I haven't the slightest idea what a gaffer does but I've always wanted to be one. If you need any extras on-screen, I could be a spear carrier, or a mahout.

Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2007 4:42 am

I'll sacrifice one for the team and volunteer my dog as a goat fluffer.
