  1. I hope Frozen can still pull of a weekend win.

     

    But Paramount knows the audience for terrible horror movies... Hispanic families love them and making one about Hispanic characters and not just caricatures works well for them. I'm surprised there haven't been many more Hispanic-targeted horror movies. Back in 2006-07 I used to see lots of Mexican families taking their kids to see Saw 3 and Hostel 2... disturbed me, but I might just be a close-minded whinebag.

  2. Impact doesn't always read plots very thoroughly. I had one movie where I had Steve Carrel and Meryl Streep playing roles, and somehow he gathered that Meryl Streep was playing Steve Carrel's mother and commented on that several times, but that wasn't the casting I had made.

  3. For Spring Season of Year 8, Energized Entertainment has a couple of films they will be going for.

     

    Land of No Left Turns: 

     

    Apatow directs this comedy about driving in San Francisco.

     

    Interconnected: An Empire Risen

     

    Taking place months after the events of Interconnected: Culmination, An Empire Risen will be the final chapter of Interconnected.

  4. I'll be making a movie called Ratings War.

     

    Bill Murray plays Ben O'Malley (a slightly fictional Bill O'Reilly aka billo the clown) and Ben Affleck plays Ken Olmstead (Keith Olbermann, aka a douchebag with glasses or guttersnipe as bill would call him)

     

    Will also have someone playing Michael Savage and Joe Scarborough, or a fictionalized verison of them

    .

    Budget: $30 million

     

    Taglines: "In the North, they call it a sport" | "Be Canadian with us!"

     

    For Shawn, curling is his life. He calls himself a "professional curler" and he takes it very seriously. But this makes a lot of others find him offputting. His closest friends are American transplants who become interested in curling as well. Alex picks up the sport as well, but Tim never really gets too dedicated to it. As for John... he has the dedication, but that's all he has. To everyone's amusement and his frustration, he can't seem to figure curling out.

     

    Tim can't put as much time in as the other guys, because he has to spend time at home with his wife, Lisa. Abby is a clerk that they always buy food from when they go curling. Shawn, Alex, and John all take an interest in her, but she doesn't seem to reciprocate. The league that Shawn and his friends play in represents Mr. Aaronson's curling store.

     

    Aaronson's biggest rival is Zyskowski, who tries to trick the guys into working for him instead. Young attractive girls working for Zyskowski manage to trick Alex and John into splitting from their teammates and working with them instead. Much to Shawn and Tim's frustration, Alex and John seem to be getting better as well.

     

    Zyskowski's flamboyant nature and arrogant superiority complex provide much hilarity (for most) the two teams battle off. In the end, the game is tied and all the guys just call it quits and drink beer and eat donuts. A punk/alternative orck cover of O Canada plays as the final song.

    Taglines: "The mirror contains another world": "You are not your reflection" : "The other universe is just a glance away"

     

    Plot: Something changes... mirrors are not just our reflections. Stacy and Derek are friends, kids that live next door to one another. Stacy lives with her dad, Sam, and Derek lives with his mom, Amy. The two kids notice as they are looking in a mirror that the reflections are no longer identical. The next day Stacy touches her bathroom mirror and discovers her hand goes through instead of hitting glass.

     

    Out of curiosity, she climbs through it into another dimension. It is much like Earth but everything is slightly different... in fact, it is ANOTHER planet, Earth, but where evolution and the planets ran a different course, and the continents are shaped entirely differently. And the naming conventions of the locals are foreign to her. She meets Zong and Florng, two roommates that share an apartment that is connected to her home through the mirror.

     

    At first they do not believe her stories, but they realize that there are tiny differences... all three appear human, but Zong and Florng have slightly different shapes for their eyes and ears and seem to have better hearing as well. She heads back to her world through the same mirror, confused by the situation, but unharmed.

     

    However, not all is well for the worlds. The mirrors transportation is part of Bardak's plan to cause the two worlds to collide, and for him to rule both of the worlds by using the strengths of each universe against the weaknesses of the others... and convincing everyone that he is a god. Stacy is haunted by Bardak and must convince Derek and Sam and Amy that the world is in danger.

     

    At first they laugh it off, but the mirrors show more than before, and together the people of the two worlds must stop Bardak. Bardak seems to be a dangerous villain at first, but it turns out that laughter hurts him. Everyone tells jokes, causing much laughter ,which destroys Bardak for good. The link between the two worlds is ended and mirrors are just mirrors once again.
