What about hair?

Seems better than piss.

Yeah, I’ve thought of hair.  Ian Peck is playing it half, so that would make a cool dynamic.  I also thought of nail clippings.  Lol.  The piss test crap I can’t get past has I think led to potentially a funny line, but That’s really where I’m at.  They’re gonna find out that each part is a whole by actually catching like an arm or something, so I might just go with hair.  I don’t know.  I’ve got time.  I have about the first ten minutes written so far, so maybe I’ll think of something.

This is where I’m at since I’ve gotten so busy.  I have probably ten completed spec scripts 100% completed and about 97 more that I haven’t even started.  Some of the best movie ideas I’ve ever had are titled:

The Sibling Accord, Wynners, Layers, Parts (different entirely from a Parts script I finished) and a couple others I can’t remember.  I’ve finished scripts titled Mr. Foot, The Mural, Danielle Forever, Parts and a few more I can’t remember.  The very best idea I have ever in my entire life had is called Post Production and I am committed to finishing it one day.

I both love and hate this post.  But no, when they’re talking about it I had Taron Edgerton (the cook) saying, “So you’re telling me that if I was one of those things and I pissed in a jar and you poured acid in the jar, my piss would try to escape?”

Being passionate isn’t bad. Going at it isn’t bad buddy. We only go at it in Mafia really, which is how the game is played.

l hadn't planned on having any rules as far as what people should submit, as much or as little as you want. I think Dec. 2 will be the deadline/when I'll put up the final poll post. As far as how that post will look, the post below has the two options I was considering. I'll let people let me know what they prefer.

@rackcs @MWil23 @The Orca @Pickle Rick @Outpost31 @Dome @Malfatron @FinneasGage @Elky @MikeT14 @daboyle250 @Deadpulse @Fresh Prince@Adrenaline_Flux @bcb1213 @AlexGreen#20 @Daniel @JoshstraDaymus

If we haven't decided which way we're going yet, I'd advocate for a new thread so we can edit our posts.  Easier to get it done that way, especially if I want to steal some formatting from other people.

Last role I'm casting is Pablo Schreiber as Mr. Flint.

_________________________________________

Matthew McConaughey will be cast as Ananias Dare, the husband of Eleanor Dare (Kate Hudson) and father to the first English born child in the New World.  He came across the Atlantic Ocean in search of a better life for his family, what he got was something he never wished for.

He's going to say this to John McClane at some point in the film after McClane is told of the 8 man tournament.

So your movie is just cut and paste lines from all their original flicks?

[MWil23]

MORE information has been released in the upcoming film!!!!!

Ultimatum

On the brink of total economic collapse and millions without social security, President Nic Cage (Cage) is put in an even bigger quandary when China calls the national debt from the United States due and gives him a final notice:

An 8 man tournament to the death broadcasted on live television, or an all out war with China.

Seed/Tournament:

1. John Rambo vs. 8. Martin Riggs

2. Chuck Norris vs. 7. Gabe Law

3. Casey Ryback vs. 6. John McClane

4. Alan "Dutch" Schaefer vs. 5. Chance Boudreaux

Upon his initial refusal (President Cage) Dr. Ray Arnold will reveal to the President that there is a plus side to our military deficit spending in that our military grade serum  that he's been engineering and overseeing will transform each of the 8 to their "prime condition" (Translation: Their prime selves in their 80's or 90's form) for the tournament. Due to his tremendous advantage, Norris will be only allowed to be frozen in his physical/mental state of 50 years of age. 

President Nic Cage, recently coming off of his soon to be 5th divorce, has decided to selectively use his extremely liberal ideology, and justify the 8 man tournament to the death, after eloquently pondering the value of human life, while eating a bag of chips and drinking a Coors Light, insisting on watching the tournament himself since "I'm the one who has condemned these 7 American heroes to death. BLAME ME!!!"

*Insert scene reminiscent of the "bring them in" scene in Armageddon, with the head of the Secret Service, Jules Winnfield, as the point man. One (Norris) comes willingly. Riggs and McClane resist at first, but resign themselves to their fate, at least 3 drinks in. The other 5 do not come willingly.*

Norris has only one stipulation:

That the highest seed in the 8 man tournament be granted a "Home Turf Advantage" in any location of their choosing, WORLDWIDE.

Directed by:

Christopher Nolan: Nolan will evaluate the dichotomy between the worth of an individual's life and sacrificing for the "greater good"

Starring:

*Jean Claude Van Damme as Chance Boudreaux: This former marine force recon and homeless veteran whose motives in regards to his country, which hasn't treated him well, makes him an enigma. His survivor and wilderness expertise mixed with martial arts mastery and weapons ability makes him a dangerous competitor in this man-hunt tournament. 31 on screen kills, most dangerous game/survival 

*Sylvestor Stallone as John Rambo: This one man 1/2 Italian and 1/2 Navajo poster child for inclusive and political statement on the trauma of PTSD, is a former Vietnam veteran drifter. He is reckless, disregards orders, uses violence to solve problems, enters dangerous situations alone, and is exceptionally tough, callous, raw and aggressive. His country needs him, but will he come willingly? 191 on screen kills

*Arnold Schwarzenegger as Alan "Dutch" Schaefer: This mercenary and leader of a private military team is a specialist in guerrilla engagements and camouflage. Prolonged interrogation has made him virtually impervious to any type of pain. 34 on screen kills including Predator

*Steven Seagal as Casey Ryback. This former decorated Navy SEAL Team Four leader turned cook is 6'5 and 220 and is an expert in special warfare.  55 on screen kills

*Bruce Willis as John McClane. Known for his sardonic one liners and for being "just another American who thinks he's John Wayne", this foul-mouthed, wisecracking, no-nonsense New York cop with an itchy trigger finger, and a never-say-die maverick spirit with a vigilante propensity and blatant disregard to authority is a darkhorse in this tournament. The last hing he wants is to be a hero, but once again, he doesn't have a choice. 73 total on screen kills

*Chuck Norris as himself. On screen kills unknown. Embodies true Patriotism, grit, and is virtually immortal. Since 1940, the year Chuck Norris was born, roundhouse kick related deaths have increased by 13,000%.

*Mel Gibson as Martin Riggs.  This U.S. Army Special Forces veteran turned maniacal depressed cop is an expert in weaponry and hand to hand combat. These skills would later serve him well when he became a police officer. Most of Riggs's time in special forces was in Vietnam, where he served as an assassin under the CIA's "Phoenix Project". The first time he became a killer when he shot a man to death with a sniper rifle from a long distance in Laos; while his ability as a trained killer would later affect his mental health, he thought of it as "the only thing I was ever really good at". 40 on screen kills without Murtaugh.

*Jet Li as Gabe Law: Believing Life goes in a circle for perfect balance, Gabe works in the Los Angeles county Sheriff's Department. For the last two years, he's experienced enhanced versions of strength, speed, and agility. He put in prison in an alternate universe the other version of himself who killed 123 versions of himself. It's unclear whether or not Law has the lack of conscience in this tournament to take another human life.

*Nicolas Cage as President Nicolas Cage

*Samuel L. Jackson in two roles as Jules Winnfield and Dr. Ray Arnold
