image

Silvio Berlusconi (the father of the female lead who disapproves of her relationship with Michael; he also happens to be a CIA agent who finds the young mailman, Edward, highly suspicious)
image

Kevin Spacey (bursts into Michael's house halfway through the film and kills him with a chainsaw while holding onto his hand—reason unknown)
Michael Douglas (a respectable psychiatrist who occasionally cheats on his wife, played by the female lead, with a younger man, Edward Norton, who has hidden motives)

ACTRESSES:

What do you all think? 😁

Who wants to help me flesh this out a little more! 👍

That’s great, really, but I’m not quite following what this is about... 😕

Director: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Tom Hanks, Dustin Hoffman, Rowan Atkinson, Bill Murray, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Christina Ricci
Setting: An asylum
Eight "lunatics" recount the highs and lows of their fascinating lives—much like Forrest Gump.
A film in two, perhaps even three, parts.😁

Here’s the breakdown:
In this movie, Michael Douglas plays a priest dealing with some kind of pituitary gland issue—or whatever the hell they call it—that causes these uncontrollable hormonal urges. He ends up sleeping with a reporter who visits the church, but he's totally over her after he's already been caught up in these scenes where he's hooking up with other nuns. Then, a nun gets murdered right there in the church, and all eyes turn toward Douglas. This obsessive reporter tries to frame him for the crime, doing everything she can to ruin his life and prove they had an affair. But when it turns out he's innocent and she was actually the killer, she vanishes. Unfortunately, Douglas has no clue she's actually hiding under his bed in the rectory. She waits until nightfall to try and castrate him, but he catches her just in time. They end up wrestling all over the bed, and honestly, she absolutely wrecks him like a total coward. A massive brawl breaks out through the entire church, eventually leading them both up to the bell tower for the final showdown. He manages to toss her off the tower, and she falls down and lands on... well, something sharp, I guess, but who cares. The camera pans up to show his terrified, twisted face looking down at her, the music swells, and that’s the end of that nonsense.

Great. A total Michael Douglas movie. 😁

I suggest that when she falls off the tower and hits that thing, the camera should cut back to him just jerking off and crying. 😁 😁

Here’s another one:
Michael Douglas plays this traveling salesman who meets a femme fatale on a train. They spend a wild, primal night together—the kind of intense, animalistic sex they seem to love in these movies. Unfortunately, he has no clue she’s actually a deranged serial killer hunting men. She sleeps with them and then kills them because of some childhood trauma where her uncle forced her to bake endless batches of homemade pastries.
After she murders half the passengers and he ends up in a massive brawl with her throughout the train cars, she finally ends up crushed under the wheels, and he makes it out alive.

How about this scenario:
Michael Douglas plays a psychiatrist who starts a torrid affair with one of his patients. I don't need to tell you there's a ton of heavy, violent, primal sex involved. But when he finally breaks the news that he's actually married, she loses it. Since she's clearly unstable, she can't handle the rejection and tries to kill him. To cut a long story short, after all the fighting and the sex, she ends up dead under a tractor from a small town in rural Ohio.

And another:
Michael Douglas plays a cop who is unfortunately obsessed with one thing... and I think you can guess what it is: sex. He spends his nights hitting up strip clubs and sleeping with every girl in sight. Long story short, he pushes all these women too far and they try to blackmail him. He manages to fight them off, but they all end up meeting their end under the tires of a massive semi-truck, while Michael Douglas walks away unscathed.

It’s honestly incredible how many different ways you can spin a movie starring Michael Douglas.

Update: Miller ends up killing Vance. 😁 Rainy day.

Why is it that you guys only ever think about American actors? Someone mentioned Damir Markovina 🤣—seriously, try looking at some talent right here in the States for once...

Honestly, someone should probably slap a copyright on these movie synopses you're posting. I mean, who knows? Some big-shot director could just swoop in, lift the idea, and pair it up with someone like Martin Sheen to make a blockbuster... ?!

I’d really appreciate it if you could actually provide the titles for these film premises of yours... A movie title is everything, after all...

No, let's not get overly dramatic; how about a Korean director? No, actually, a Japanese one! A total horror masterpiece, but strangely soothing. Honestly, if they went the route of some low-budget indie thriller where they cast a thirty-one-year-old woman as the daughter or the sister—definitely not the mother—and then everyone just ends up taking out the old lady at the end 😍 :svrš: That’s it. If that happens, I don't need any of the other seven films. 😎

Mine would probably be called One Night in February. It’d definitely be rated R, too—lots of heart-wrenching stuff and stomach-turning scenes...

Good grief, just picture her: that platinum blonde, sun-kissed skin, Ellen February starring in a flick called "One Night in February"... 😁 I'd drop a small fortune just to own a single 35mm reel of that entire masterpiece... 🙂

I can't even be bothered to look up how to spell these right, so I’m just gonna wing it: L. DiCaprio, A. Jolie, A. Banderas, A. Pacino, E. Murphy, J. Chen, B. Pitt, and that one guy from O.11—man, I totally blanked on his name... lol

Okay, hear me out! First things first—Tim Burton would have to direct. Obviously. And you’d need Johnny Depp and Nicole Kidman for the leads. 😍 (And they'd be a couple, too, with her being all high-fashion and eccentric—so cute, right? 😎 )
As for the rest of the cast;
Marcia Cross, Scarlett Johansson (totally decked out in black, obviously, because that's the Burton vibe), Winona Ryder—who is just perfect for this kind of stuff, let's be real—and maybe Julianne Moore too.
Man, I’d throw Clive Owen in there, but he doesn't really fit that Burton aesthetic... so, maybe some other time. Anyway, Roger Bart (you know, from Hostel 2 and Desperate Housewives) would be great—he's got that slightly morbid edge, haha. And maybe someone like Timothée Chalamet? He’s got that skinny, Burtonesque look that could work if we played up the "crazy" factor a bit. 😛

So, the movie itself? Dark. But I wouldn't go the whole "Edward Scissorhands" fairy tale route—more like psychological mind games... I don't know. It would be dark, like, *really* dark. A slow burn, probably way too much blood, though I guess a movie like this should technically be violence-free? It'd be wild seeing how Burton works with someone like Quentin Tarantino to make it extra gritty... but then you might lose that special touch Burton usually brings to his stories, so maybe not. Ugh, whatever...

author: me : )

genre: horror/drama/romance

cast: Michael Ironside (playing some seasoned, wicked manipulator)
Hilary Swank (his younger sister—kind of a masochist, really)
Karla Potente (a young detective who’s totally smitten with Michael)
Wallace Shawn (Michael’s right-hand man)
Nicole Grimaudo (a model who eventually falls prey to the manipulator)
Peter O'Toole (a psychology professor and the former detective's mentor)
Keanu Reeves (the model's fiancé, just looking for sweet revenge)

Alright, let's say the director was Christopher Nolan.

Original Poster:Rob Zombie
Cast:Dwayne Johnson (a detective specializing in psychopaths), Ron Perlman (his secretary), Wesley Snipes (the cleaner), Vin Diesel (the getaway driver), Danny DeVito (the plumber), Dave Grohl (the gardener), Brad Pitt (the ultimate nemesis), and Leonardo DiCaprio (the guy everyone ends up beating up)
The movie would be titled "Chainsaws Fly Early"
So, here’s the pitch—Dwayne Johnson starts off by slamming his keyboard against his desk in a rage—and then suddenly, DiCaprio bursts into his office! Just as Dwayne is about to absolutely wreck him, Ron Perlman interrupts to say Brad Pitt is waiting outside with a combine harvester. Dwayne just leaves DiCaprio hanging—because, honestly, why wait?—and Ron Perlman goes in to take care of the guy instead. As Dwayne is walking down the hallway, Wesley Snipes casually mentions he trashed the restroom, but Dwayne just keeps moving—he's on a mission! Once he steps outside, Dave Grohl tells him he accidentally trimmed the neighbor's tulips, and right on cue, Vin Diesel rolls up in a tank. Dwayne hops in the tank, only for Danny DeVito to pop up and tell him he ripped the sink right out of the wall. Dwayne looks back toward the office and sees this chaotic scene where everyone is pummeling DiCaprio—except for Brad Pitt. Dwayne cruises around in the tank hunting for Pitt, finds the combine harvester sitting empty, and then catches sight of Brad Pitt actually giving DiCaprio a thrashing! Brad makes a break for it, sprinting from the office back to his harvester, but—get this—Dwayne tosses a chainsaw right at his head! Then, he just heads back into the office to finish what they started with DiCaprio. That’s basically the whole thing.

Oh, and I should probably mention James Woods somewhere too.
