Lights... Camera... ACTION!!: A Hollywood Quest

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Hi Magoose here one of the guys helping Duke.

So we have some bad news.

The quest has been canceled as duke does not want to write it anymore.

I'm going to ask if I can take over for it, because I like this quest, and it would be a shame to kill it
TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands. :)

To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.

I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.

I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.

I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all. :D

I'll see you all around.

With so many regards, Duke William Of.

I'd like to make a huge apology to everyone for choosing to film in Italy. I know some people wanted Croatia and I did suggest it early on, but I thought it'd make more sense in-character for Bruce to choose Italy since he had a great time vacationing there and would be a bit weary of filming in a Communist state, even if Yugoslavia is currently firmly pro-West. Italy would have granted us some great scenes, but oh well, Italians do be crazy.

I guess this means that Naboo isn't gonna be filmed in Italy because George wouldn't want to repeat the misery that Bruce suffered with Conan the Destroyer. What would be a good alternate? France, Spain?

Still pretty wild that the Italians want to play fuck-fuck games with one of the world's richest men who co-owns the biggest studio in Hollywood, stars in Star Wars and is a political ally to Reagan. Italian film industry gonna take a major hit in reputation and investment after this.

That's fine Kaiser, I mean who could have predicted that this would happen, what with Bruce's larger than life personality and charsima, not ot mention hsi great reception when he visited the country, and the film industry being like "We're brothers from different mothers!" after Tarantino's victory at their own film awards.

It's just that the stupidity of government officials truly has no bottom line.

And I'm all for Spain when it comes to the Prequels, let's not forget however that changes are possible. (Anakin as a teenager. Hint Hint)
So are we in the running for most cursed production among LucasFilms? Also seems like the smart choice to move again.
...I can already hear this in The Critical Drinker's voice.

Critical Drinker: So the production was mvoed to Italy cause surely there was no way that the Italians, a country known for its constant flip-flopping, corruption, and organized crime would have nothing than the best intentions, right? (Clip from Spider-Man of JJJ laughing)

[X] Yes
 
Do you film in Croatia?:
[X]Yes

Okay... @Magoose ! see what you mean.

@Kaiser Chris As far as i am concerned no apology necessary how where you supposed to Know?

Carries dice work fine and boy is Carrie going to be as smug as the cat that not only caught the canary but framed the dog for it too.

All other roles well, I am very glad for omake rewards.

Really after Geece playing games Italy does the some thing?

And i just feel sorry for Andre.
 
Sunrise Pitch: The Empire of Corpses New
It occurred to me that I haven't done a pitch in quite some time and there's good reason for this. Not only have I been focusing mostly on boosting Undertale and maybe throwing a cheeky little omake Faith, the Unholy Trinity's way, I've also been busy with University. Like, really busy. I finally have a little bit of breathing room, but I'm still gonna be super busy since I've gotta study for my midterms, but because I haven't put up a pitch in what feels like ages, I thought that I'd bang one out super quick. I remember watching this movie back around when it first came out. I saw like, maybe one ad for it and it caught my attention so I tried hard to see the ad again and I finally managed to track down the film. I actually have a burned copy of it somewhere. I don't remember much from this film, but what I do remember, I know I liked. I know that Sunrise is kinda lacking in movie pitches, so I thought that this would be fitting. I probably won't be able to do anything else for a while, unless I dig up an already completed pitch, but either way, I hope you enjoy!


Sunrise Pitch:
The Empire of Corpses

GENRE: Science Fiction
SUBGENRE: Adventure/Horror
FORMAT: Animated Movie​
SET UP: In 19th-century London, humanity has developed the technology to insert artificial souls into cadavers, reanimating the corpses. These "Frankensteins" as they're called, become useful workers for their manual labor and have helped accelerate the Industrial Revolution. John Watson, a medical student from the University of London, is discovered to have broken the law and has been conducting forbidden experiments to bring his friend Friday back to life. He must now either work for the British government or face punishment, choosing to go on a secret mission assigned by the British government to find the notes of Dr. Victor Frankenstein, the man who reanimated the first human corpse.
In an alternate 19th Century Britain, scientist Victor Frankenstein discovered a method of reanimating a corpse with a soul that could think, feel, and speak. After his creation was destroyed another method was used to replace the missing soul with an artificial one known as "Necroware," which can be upgraded like a computer program, though the corpses are unable to talk, feel, or think for themselves. By the 19th century, corpses have become the main part of the labor force, with Necroware improving daily via a machine known as the Analytical Engine, invented by Charles Babbage.

John Watson, a medical student and aspiring corpse engineer, illegally creates his own Necroware to resurrect his deceased friend, Friday, and aspires to find a way to truly return him to life. Eventually, Watson is caught by M, a member of the British Secret Service, and to avoid a prison sentence, he agrees to become an agent for the British Empire. He is then tasked to find and retrieve The Memorandum, Frankenstein's original research on reanimating a corpse with a soul, and which is believed to be in the possession of Alexei Frodorovich Karamazov, a Russian corpse engineer who is hiding in Kabul.

Accompanied by Captain Frederick Burnaby, Watson's bodyguard, and their guide, Nikolai Krasotkin, Watson and Friday reach Khyber Pass, where they are ambushed by upgraded corpses now capable of limited human-like intelligence before they are saved by Hadaly Lilith, the mysterious secretary of former U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant. Afterwards, upon retrieving one of the advanced corpses, Watson discovers it is able to remember and speak its own name.

The group finally reach Karamazov, but the next day, Watson and Friday discover the disillusioned Karamazov forcibly upgrading Nikolai while he is still alive, killing him and creating a more intelligent corpse capable of limited thought and speech. When Waston refuses to accept that it was a part of Frankenstein's original research, Karamazov commits suicide by having the corpsified Nikolai forcibly upgrade him, but not before telling Watson that the Memorandum is in Japan and asking him to destroy it.

In Tokyo, Japan, Waston meets Yamazawa Seigo of the Imperial Japanese Army, who reveals the Memorandum is being held by the Osato Chemical company. As they make their way to it, the group is attacked by advanced corpses, and Watson hurries to find the Memorandum to destroy it. However, upon reaching it, he suddenly hesitates and chooses to analyze the notes, setting off a trap that sets fire to the building and causing all corpses nearby, including Friday, to lash out and Friday to try to speak. Following an explosion, and before losing consciousness, Watson witnesses a mysterious man taking the Memorandum, who reveals himself as Frankenstein's original creation, known as The One - still alive after 100 years and just as intelligent as a human.

Watson awakens aboard the USS Richmond heading for America, where he is treated by Hadaly and is asked along with Burnaby by Grant to help him defeat The One, who he believes is lashing out at humanity as vengeance for creating him. However, Watson spends the voyage trying to help Friday, who has become aggressive and hostile and has been chained up as a result. Upon reaching San Francisco, The One uses the Memorandum to send out a signal that causes corpses to attack humans, including the corpse crew of the USS Richmond. During their escape, Hadaly reveals that she is an artificial lifeform that can control corpses using sound waves and desires a soul of her own. Grant is killed by an exploding corpse, and Hadaly guides Watson and Friday to a sewer entrance that will take them to her safehouse before she and Burnaby briefly part ways. However, the still-hostile Friday attempts to kill Watson, but then begins to recognize him and hesitate long enough for Watson to subdue him. Finally, at Hadaly's safehouse, Watson manages to finish fixing Friday, making him immune to the Memorandum's signal.

Meanwhile, The One is captured by M, who plans to turn all humans into corpses; thus ending every war. He is taken to the Tower of London where his mind is analyzed by Charles Babbage and Frankenstein's preserved brain, which creates a stronger signal that causes more corpses to attack humans. Using a submarine, the USS Nautilus, Watson, Hadaly, Friday, and Burnaby smash through the Traitors' Gate, and Burnaby distracts the corpse guards while the others make their way to M. Hadaly manages to subdue M and use her abilities to suppress The One, while Friday takes over Charles Babbage to stop the signal. However, M manages to shoot Hadaly before being shot by Watson, freeing The One, who then kills M, overpowers Hadaly, and takes over Friday.

Shortly after, The One reveals that he is attempting to create the bride that Frankenstein promised him and combine all the corpses' primitive minds into a true human mind. Then, using the Memorandum, Charles Babbage, and Frankenstein's brain, The One beckons forth his bride's soul and mind and inserts them into Hadaly while transferring his own soul and mind into Friday. However, before he can complete the ritual, Burnaby damages Charles Babbage, forcing The One to return to his own body, and with Friday's help, Watson manages to permanently seal The One into the Memorandum, defeating him and destroying the Tower. Before parting ways, Watson declares that Hadaly is developing of a soul of her own, which prompts her to urge Watson to not give up on truly resurrecting Friday.

Back at the house where he resurrected Friday, Watson and Friday are seen combining the research of Karamazov with the surviving pages of the Memorandum to perform an unknown corpse upgrade on the former. Four years later, in a post-credits scene, Watson is seen fleeing with his new companion, Sherlock Holmes, whilst Burnaby and Hadaly, who now goes by the name Irene Adler, watch from nearby, with what appears to be a fully resurrected Friday also watching from a rooftop.

I'm pretty curious if this whole fuckup is going to bit the italian in the ass somehow.
 
[X] Yes

Let's make the italian goverment roll some heads when they learn of this, people in Rome are going to be very angry at the assholes that cost their country a Lucasfilm movie plus whatever fallout comes from this in Hollywood
 
How best to discribe the MCAU:

Bruce: Why do I have to play the Nick Fury Streight man?

Jack: Because you like the work and if we can prove animation, like comics are great, we can do more.

Stan: Plus your cheap.

---------------------------

(Years later)

Bruce: Alright so Charlton's Animated Movie Verse is becoming more popular then ours what do we do.

Writer 1: Obsucre references!

Writer 2: Reboots!

Writer 3: Videogames!

Carrie: Slice of Life Romantic Comedies in their day to day with lots of bickering.

Writer 4: We make movies out of properties, and make you Nick Fury in real life!

Bruce: That...that might actually work.

All Writers: Hurray!
 
[X]No
Even though this won't change anything I still want to voice my objections. I refuse to film in and support a murderous dictatorship that trample's on democracy and free speech. Yes, Tito may have some good qualities but he's still a strongman of a nation that is poised to collapse in bloody fashion and the less said of his successor, the better. Furthermore I don't think Bruce would support/ film in a communist country.
