Movie challenge

[Ramona Gray]

Sorry I didn't read it earlier when I posted (was heading to sleep). I like it overall! It reminds me a bit of Hunger Games, which gets overused in these kinds of challenges, but the differences here make it unique. Especially if it has a sci-fi edge to it and we treat it a bit like a Tarantino film.

Ted loves Tarantino, so that right there is also a plus.

The other tribe has Artis and Gervase and Colton who are all really good storytellers, so we need to make sure the writing and plot of this are really solid and get the edge on them with our poster!

If anyone has any ideas they should post them!

[Ramona Gray]

Also while the idea is a bit like Battle Royale, Condemned, Hunger Games, Death Race its a good idea to start with then work in new ideas and give the players different motives besides reluctantly trying to win.

In Hunger Games a few players had the idea to hang back and let everyone else kill each other, while others formed alliances with the aim of killing everyone else.

In Battle Royale there were a few psychopaths who enjoyed murder for murder's sake, then other players who tried to blissfully pretend nothing was going on and locked themselves in a lighthouse and played house. That ends badly. But a major part of the players were actually trying to break the system and take out the people who brought them there and escape.

So we can mix and match different motives like that and come up with new ones too to make the story more interesting.

Also, maybe we can go in boot order so far and include Colton entering the game and the teams twist with Holly and Roxy battling to the death while chained together. That could be awesome.

I like this. We can dramatize the events that have already transpired and then just use our imagination for the rest

[Ramona Gray]

Maybe DJ Yazzy Yeff is someone out in the outside world who is openly against the competition and trying to take it down from the outside after watching his sister Yazmin killed.

[GC Brown]

Big Tom could be a psychopathic mute wielding a hatchet, who is lost without someone to guide him.

[Ozzy Lusth]

I love the idea of using the bootlist and events in the game for the movie.

So is it safe to say Alicia and Malcolm will work on the poster?

Me, Ethan, Cirie and Ramona can work on the summry

Rob and GC can work on proof reading for errors with spelling and grammar and also some detail info on characters. Once we have that info we'll use that to put the story together.


Is everyone ok with this?? Please advise ASAP we got a little over 24 hours to put this together.

[GC Brown]

Yeah that's fine. You guys can get the bulk done and we'll refine it.

Didn't Ramona say she'd help with the poster though?

[Ramona Gray]

I can help with both, but we need a good movie idea first I think before we can do the poster well

[Ozzy Lusth]

Ok GC and Rob you guys have the characters done then based on that we will write the summary.

Ted and Ghandia are the bro/sis business people who are evil and get this whole thing together. As soon S u two do this we will put the summary together.

[Alicia Calaway]

I've got a few ideas for a poster. We could do something simple like a skeleton of a kimba and pantera and weapons lying nearby.

Burning flags is also a good indicator.

Or I could do something more complicated like a line of people from both teams on other side of each other brandishing weapons and staring each other down.

[GC Brown]

I'll write up some characters real quick

[GC Brown]

I left out some characters that I didn't have anything particular in mind for, so Rob could write those. Though I'm not sure that we need to include absolutely EVERYONE, otherwise it could get a little muddled.

Ted: Calculating and cruel mastermind. He has rounded up a group of individuals, some willing and some not, to kill one another on an island for the world to see. Each contestant is initially provided with one item.

Ghandia: Ted's right hand woman. The original idea for the competition was hers, and she urges Ted to introduce increasingly sadistic twists to the game for her own gleeful pleasure. At one point, she pestered Ted so much that she wanted to "see someone die already" that Ted reluctantly introduced "the pit", which is just a small hole in the ground with two rocks that Holly and Roxy eventually get thrown into and are forced to bludgeon one another to the death.

Big Tom: A psychopathic mute with a hatchet in tow. Unfortunately for him, he has no idea what he's doing and mostly wanders around aimlessly.

The Shusher: Sneaky as a cat, sly as a fox. Yasmin is armed with only a piece of wire and is able to sneak up behind people undetected, whispering "bi...to..." in her victims' ears just as they let our their dying breaths. Yasmin doesn't have any allies on the island to speak of, so when she's not out killing people, she enjoys sitting locked away in a small cabin, whispering to herself. Others hear these whispers and assume she is plotting something and see her as a threat, but really she's just fucking insane.

Holly: The one who's clearly out of her element with all these youngins runnin' around. She tries desperately to fit in and gain some allies, but really she is just making people turn against her more and more. Unfortunately for Holly, she was provided with nothing but a megaphone.


Roxy: A devout Christian, she believes if she leans on her unwavering faith, then she cannot possibly be defeated in this valley of the shadow of death. This is only affirmed when she wins her bout in "the pit" against Holly. Roxy's weapon is a scythe, which she sees as a sign from God, and she refers to herself as the "Angel of Death".

Ozzy: A leader of men. Ozzy firmly believes that if they band together, they can kill Ted and Ghandia and end this sick game. Armed with a slingshot, which is partially the reason he's so intent on banding together, because he knows he's fucked otherwise.

Malcolm: A deranged stoner who follows the crowd. Most don't see him as a real threat, even though he's armed with three grenades, because he's so damn laidback. Eventually, though, something's gotta give.

Ramona: She looks harmless on the outside, but she is a puppet master. She turns allies into enemies, and enemies into allies, all for her own gain. Armed with a poisoned blade which she keeps strapped to her thigh.

GC: He may not be the most lethal or most cunning, but he behaves in a more militaristic fashion. Both he and Gervase attempt to gather up armies to oppose one another, but neither gains any traction, and they are left merely becoming each other's white whale. GC is armed with a Glock, which he insists on holding sideways when firing.

Gervase: Like was said, is in a mutual cat-and-mouse game with GC. Gervase is armed with a sawed-off shotgun.

Osten: An absolute dope. It's a miracle that he even survived the boat ride to the island. Is armed with a Super Soaker, which he legitimately believes is the best weapon out of everybody's.

Jed: One unhappy motherfucker. He feels that everybody is after him specifically. Lucky for him, he was armed with an AK-47, which he uses with intense murderous rage and immense satisfication.

Artis: Pure evil. There are whispers in the night about how Artis is coming to get them. Osten, in particular, cowers in fear at the very mention of his name. Artis was actually one of the few who entered the competition willingly, and carries with him a butcher's blade. Even when his enemies drop long-range weapons such as arrows or guns or even grenades, he refuses to pick them up because he prefers to feel the convulsions and whimpers of men as he drains the life from them with his vicious hacks and slashes.

Colton: Was actually a TV commentator for the game, viciously criticizing all of the contestants and rambling about how he could do so much better than these amateurs, when Ted offered him the chance to join. Since joining, he's found it's a lot harder than it looks. Colton is armed with a crossbow.

Crystal: Actually was offered a rocket launcher but refused it in favor of a keg of beer. She keeps the keg snugly strapped to her back at all times, even though it slows her down so much she's basically a sitting duck.

Kelly: A wild card. She has made many promises and alliances in this game, and she only holds to them when she feels like it. Armed with a sniper rifle, she sometimes shoots people, regardless of allegiance, because she simply finds it funny.

Alicia: Despite being the one armed with a flamethrower, she has a heart of gold and refuses to use it. She urges everybody to lay down their weapons and not succumb to this sick game, but she is largely ignored and highly sought-after due to people wanting to get their hands on her weapon.

[Malcolm Freberg]

Three people can't really work on the poster since it's done by one person. I like all the ideas so far.

If you have an idea on how we can actually do the poster together let me know as you have both said you have ideas, but nothing is showing up for us to look at.

[Ozzy Lusth]

Great job GC...Rob we also need Ethan RC Cirie and yourself to round out all remaining players. Also maybe Shiiann in some funny cameo

[Rob Cesternino]

Ethan: The goofball, never taking anything seriously, even when his life is on the line. The ultimate fan who is only here because his friend bet him he couldn't do it. His personality reflects his weapon of choice... a sock full of pennies.

Cirie: Artis's sister, the only family member left in his life. She has no weapon, but is only here to talk her brother out of this crazy madness.

RC: High school geek turned Professional WWE Diva. She has revenge on her mind after Artis bullied her all through school. She has used her weapon to tie Cirie up with rope, torturing Artis is her only goal.

Rob: Blind as a bat, he relies on his other senses to overpower everyone in his way. Former black belt martial arts expert, his hands are the only thing he needs to rely on.
