Would you be interested in being in a movie?

[Kevin 22]

You may have seen this post on Film Score Monthly and Main Titles, but I was seeing if anyone is interested in being a part of a movie that I had an idea recently.

And yes, I am being serious.

And no, it is not a porno.

[Marian Schedenig 8,193]

This is a very vague question.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,068]

I don't do pornos.

[Jacck 23]

Sure! More details?

[Kevin 22]

PM me if you are interested.

[ChuckM 1]

This the same one that was talked about on Facebook a while back?

Anywho, yeah, I'm tentatively interested.

[Red 75]

That documentary on film score fans? Yeah I'd like to know more about that... if this is what the OP is talking about.

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

I'd like to play a character who missed out on Predator and deliver an earth-shattering performance that tells all the sob-story excuses why I couldn't be there at the right time to order it.

I know I got to order it in reality, but hey, I'm an actor. *Teeth Ding*

[Delorean90 42]

I could play that part with method acting.

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD.

I don't know when you got your idea, but John (johnnyecks on this board) started up some serious conversation a little while back that seems to have slipped under the radar. A lot of the higher-connected people from here and FSM weren't interested, oddly enough.

It's actually something different. But that's also a good idea (why didn't I think of that?)

[tharpdevenport 4]

Yes, but not yours.

[Ollie 1,059]

No comment..coughcough...

'Unlike the films in which Schwarzenegger and Reagan starred, my films are about "love."'

It's probably easier to do than my idea. Perhaps...

[Charlie Brigden 7]

I'm interested, although I live on a different continent so you'll have to pay travel expenses. I will also require my own trailer, and my representative will be in contact soon with the rider.

I can understand why they wouldn't want to do it.

But what is your idea exactly? His was a documentary about the film score market and film score fans/collectors. Why we pay through the roof for something that's so trivial to almost everyone else, and stuff like that.

Why is that?

[Ollie 1,059]

Think about what goes on here and at other message boards, think about the professional relationships they have developed, probably not something I would want to do either if I worked in the business.

[Johnnyecks 33]

Yeah, I have been toying with the idea for a few years and just decided to ask some people I know around here, and FSM, (most of whom I know on Facebook as well) and got a decent response of people who are somewhat interested and only a few responses from people who are completely interested. While nothing has happened for awhile, me and a few others are trying to get some composers together for interviews. So the idea, and the work for the idea, isn't dead. For the sake of originality, I would appreciate if you would keep with your idea and leave me to mine. I am interested in what you are thinking of and would be interested in taking part however.

[Jay 37,364]

I don't understand what TheListener's idea is. Why don't you just post the idea here in this thread?

[Kevin 22]

Look on FSM.

Yeah, I'll pass.

This is a very very brief idea of what it should be like:

One collector (mean spirited, ultra collecting and slightly psychotic fan) plans to and succeeds in cornering the market on a score release (a hypothetical release of Gabriel Yared's Troy in 1500 copies ). For those of you who don't know, cornering the market means "a monopolizing or a monopoly of the available supply of a stock or commodity to a point permitting control of price". He then markets the CDs on Ebay for a large profit as there is a montage of frustrated film score fans (crying, in denial of all the CDs being gone or what have you). Over the course of time, a small band of film score fans plan to take their revenge on the collector, who at the end killed when his own score collection shelf falls on him (and I thought irony was the taste of my drinking water). There would be a small message about materialism/consumerism (buying for the sake of buying) at the end, to connect the story to the real world.

Haha, okay. That's a clever idea; I'd definitely be up fo--

Please tell me of what you think so far (good, decent, or just plain silly). The movie is meant to be serious with splices of comedy. Any indication of being campy/hammy/silly would kill the movie. Because film score fans would either appreciate it or rip it apart.

... What?

[fommes 153]

Isn't that a bit too shallow a narrative even for a porno?

It's just I think with appreciation that there would be no or very little middle ground in terms of critical reaction to this film (God helping it ever be made). I know how nasty film score fans can be in giving their opinion about something.

Or should it be a comedy primarily with splices of camp?
