FOFC Movie ReMake Challenge Part II: The ReMakening (Signup Thread)

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

Original Draft Thread
Original Poll Thread

Wanted to get the signup thread going as we're starting to get into fantasy football time and I've personally got a busy month coming up.

Not looking for a specific number of participants but it would be great if we could get 12+ as this is truly a 'more the merrier' situation.

We ironed some of the kinks out and got some good feedback and this is where we stand:

FILM TO BE RE-MADE
PRODUCER
DIRECTOR
STAR
STAR
STAR
WILD CARD
WILD CARD
SCORE/SOUNDTRACK
BUDGET

- 3 Actor/Actress slots and 2 Wild Cards. Allows more flexibility. WildCard can still be literally anything
- SCORE/SOUNDTRACK stays as (imho) music is very important to film
- BUDGET is now it's own pick (so people choosing first don't get screwed) so for instance:

250+ mil
200
180
160
140
120
100
80
60
40

So when someone takes 250+ it's off the board, someone takes 100 mil it's off the board etc.

Any other thoughts/feedback/improvements are more than welcome.

There was some discussion about taking the original choices off the board for this version. I don't think that's necessary. Heck, if you think you can do a better job remaking "Jaws" go for it (you probably can)

We'll leave this thread open till the weekend or as long as necessary to get a good amount of participants

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

And just like last time the winner(s) will be determined by a public poll. And you get these super nifty roster cards

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY Grover original Produced by ROBERT RODRIGUEZ Directed by CLINT EASTWOOD Budget: $60 MILLION BRAD PITT as Blondie DANIEL DAY-LEWIS as Angel Eyes BENICIO DEL TORO as Tuco JOHNNY DEPP as Alcoholic Union Captain Cinematography on this Film done by WALLY PFISTER Robert Rodriguez with an ambitious project to produce a film created by his idol Sergio Leone. Rodriguez has convinced Hollywood and spaghetti western icon Clint Eastwood to direct (one of) the film(s) that made him a superstar. Brad Pitt to play the role of the iconic 'Man With No Name' also known as 'Blondie' in the film. Pitt's versatility as an A-list actor and his work playing Jessie James in the film The Assassination of Jessie James by the Coward Robert Ford was the catalyst for Grover, Rodriguez and Eastwood offering him the role. Period piece specialist Daniel Day-Lewis has agreed to play 'The Bad' Angel Eyes, originally portrayed by western veteran Lee van Cleef. Angel Eyes is the bad guy that does evil with a warm smile on his face. Nobody excels as this type of villain like Daniel Day-Lewis does. Hollywood quirky-man Benicio Del Toro will fill the role of the somewhat comedic, somewhat pathetic, but always confident Tuco Ramirez. Del Toro has the quality, able to play the underhanded, hot-headed role that Eli Wallach mastered in the original. Name-calling, groveling, appeasing, and dirty tactics are all trick in Del Toro's book. In a lesser, but important role, Johnny Depp plays the Alcoholic Union Captain. A man who knows he's beaten in battle, but knows he must continue on regardless. He fills his men with beer, wine and whiskey before battle to get their spirits up even if he knows they are walking into certain death. Depp can play the desperate but confident Captain perfectly. Legendary composer Ennio Morricone returns to score the remake, as he did with the original. Nobody else could possibly fill his shoes. The original film has one of the most iconic and memorable film soundtracks of all time. It only makes sense that Morricone would compose again. Chris Nolan's chief cinematographer and 2010 Oscar Winner for shooting Inception, Wally Pfister, takes up this western epic, making a rare departure for Nolan's side. Pfister's vision and creativity will be massive for this film, with the number of dramatic and scenes between the three main characters. His cinematography will be able to capture the emotions of the characters, while also capturing the desert and small western settlements like nobody else could possibly do. Score and Musical Arrangement by ENNIO MORRICONE

No problemo!

[Subby]

I am thinking a live action remake of The Little Mermaid, but with lots of guns and explosions and demon sex.

That scene with Ursula is going to be hot.

[Chief Rum]

I would like to return.

Not sure where we want to limit it, but if we have more people who want to join than we have spots for (at least the number we had last draft), I would be for expanding the number of teams to 12 or even 14. The movie world is expansive enough, and I personally enjoyed imagining each movie being put forth the last time. I can only imagine it getting better with an expanded number of movies.

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

right. we barely scraped the talent pool. i thought there might be some trouble @director/producer since they're pretty interchangeable. but nope. not even close.

i think the challenge is going to be finding good ideas for remakes

[Grover]

So we're already at 6 participants? Awesome.

[SackAttack]

Sign me up. What the hell.

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

welcome aboard sack

[Young Drachma]

Ok, I'm in.

[Coffee Warlord]

I have a plan. It will last until someone screws me in the first 5 minutes. But dammit, I have a plan.

[Carman Bulldog]

Count me in if you are still looking for someone.

I have no idea what I want to make.

Probably means I'm going to screw CW in the first five minutes.

At least buy him dinner and a drink first.

[Grover]

Great to see everyone with a plan. I too have a plan!

The title must be defended.

[ntndeacon]

[stevew]

boooooo

[Coffee Warlord]

I'd personally say 14 or so is as high as we should go, just so it doesn't take an eternity to draft.

[stevew]

sent you my idea

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

that sounds reasonable. steve's out, jedi's on the fence and no word from tarcone or wade yet. i'd like to give the original guys first crack

[sabotai]

I'll be in if there's room left.

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

ok. that'll put us @13. i think 16 is prob max

[Grover]

I thought 14 was

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

if it was me i'd go with 20-30. but i understand how frustrating the (often times slow) draft process can be for some

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

in fact, if we do roll with 16 i think reasonably fair time limits during the week might be a good idea (obv not evenings or the weekend)

[TRO]

Let's see how bad of a movie I can make. Sign me up.

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

holy moly this filled up fast. i'm going to put you down as a 'first alternate' as we don't really wanna go over 16 and we're still waiting to hear from:

wade moore
tarcone

[JediKooter]

I'm in if someone has to cancel.

[sabotai]

Go ahead and let TRO take my spot. After thinking about it for a bit, these drafts usually end up requiring more time than I can give. I don't want to be a constant hold up to the draft.

how bout this. we'll put you on the 'alternate list' and in the odd chance that someone vanishes (which has happened before) we can call you up. alright by you?

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

so we're @14 waiting to hear from tarcone and wade with sabotai (possibly) in the bullpen.
