Of course. Most of my films in the Part 1 thread right now are C&P from 2.0 while I'm working on the bigger films.

 

Ok thanks, so maybe I can do some fillers for Year 1 in the next weeks.

Another question: I just saw that directors are limited to one big movie and one or two smaller ones per year. Is it possible that we can track who´s used already too often or something like that?

The schedule in the first post also has directors for each film listed. Just go through and see which ones' already been used.

"For Your Consideration" is supposed to be in Part I yes? Should that thread exist already?

I think so, yes.

Just an idea I've had knocking around in my head for a bit - do people think it would be interesting/fun/worth it to try and add a home video sales element to the game? Like as an element after box office actuals are posted. Could make things more immersive/realistic, give a second chance to box office flops, et cetera. Obviously though it'd also be more work for everyone involved, so just wanted to see if anyone was interested enough to actually attempt it.

It would be really interesting but quite frankly, I don't follow home video sales or know how exactly they pan out. I'm not against the idea of it but at the same time, I don't see myself participating in it.

What are the rules of existing franchises?

It's a no go on those, from what I remember.

If the property has had a theatrical movie within the past five years or will have a film releasing within the next 365 days it's a no-go.

 

You can find the rules and which franchises have already been claimed or not here:

Most films vying for serious awards consideration or box office strength tend to be around 2,000-3,000 words long.

Also, what does it mean for a movie to be "finished"? I posted it, but it's not on the calendar at the beginning of the thread.

It will be up there eventually. The OP is updated sporadically.
