Imagine this: The Good Times Goes Big Screen!
|
The MUSIC ISSUE! is done and about to hit stands. Last night we began work on the next edition of the 826LA Good Times. Our focus? Well, what do cows like to do on the weekends? Go to the mooooovies! Yes our intrepid reporters will bring you interviews, reviews, behind-the-scenes stories and more. But for now we’re wondering what makes a good movie pitch. The students started on movie ideas last night, and we’ll get feedback from The Professionals on whether their stories would make it on the big screen. Sample pitch by Josephine: Title: Marshans from Marshmallow-Land It’s a cartoon. The buildings look mushy. The people are marshmallows with weird arms and legs. Anything that goes onto their land and it’s not marshmallow or chocolate or cracker, then it’ll sink and it will turn into marshmallow. Cast: George Lopez plays first astronaut on Marshmallow-Land to not sink. The girl marshmallows are played by Rosario Dawson. The boy marshmallows are played by David A. Adler. And if you sink into the marshmallow, then you’ll turn into marshmallow and the Marshans get to eat you. They have a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long stick to roast marshmallows that goes all the way to the sun. Sample pitch by Alanis and Oscar: Title: Celebrity Fight Club Genre: Comedy, Horror, Action & Suspense Actors: Dwayne Johnson, Brad Pitt, Jim Carrey, Shia LaBeouf, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Megan Fox, I Carly Gang (Spencer, Carly, Sam & Freddy), Jonas Brothers, King Kong, Cookie Monster, Spiderman Setting: Echo Park, Dodgers Stadium, CitiBank Building, Lake Story: All the famous people fight each other to win a prize that they’re not sure of but think they do & fight each other all over Echo Park. They kill each other in different ways that are scary or funny. They chase each other to get to the final place to win. Like Mortal Kombat but with famous people. Everyone plays themselves. In the end, they find out that they were fighting for nothing. The last famous person gets to the last room, and there’s a sign that says “Just For Fun.” |
