Thank you Doctor Soup for (unintentionally) reminding me to post this!

I've done this on another forum and thought it would be really cool to try here.

The only flaw I can think of for this forum is that there would be more interest in foreign actors that are not on the list. I don't really know a solution for this, but if anyone has an idea just let me know.

(copy pasted description from other forum)
-----
As we all know, Hollywood is a scary place with money hungry producers and scummy talent agents and overpaid movie star actors and actresses. This "Make a Movie Draft" is not just about creating a movie you would enjoy - its also about creating a movie others will watch and finding cast and crew who will work for you within your budget.

Your goal in this Make a Movie Draft is up to you, as always. You may want to create a big budget superhero movie or a small arthouse film or an Oscar bait period piece. But the decisions you make will effect other decisions you can make in the areas of casting, budgeting, writing, etc.

Awards: Films will be judged in the following categories (by the rest of the forum members).

-Box office flop/success (each film)

- Best film
- Highest grossing film
- Most entertaining film
- Favorite performance

- Most likely to win the Academy Award for Best Picture
- Most likely to win the Academy Award for Best Director
- Most likely to win the Academy Award for Best Actor
- Most likely to win the Academy Award for Best Actress
- Most likely to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor
- Most likely to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress

Draft: You will draft the following cast and crew members.

1 Director
1 Writer
1 Executive Producer (if you can't think of producers here (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/02/28/interactive-hollywood-s-50-greatest-producers-of-all-time.html) is a helpful list)
1 Composer (optional)
8 Actors (minimum)

In addition, you may draft the adaptation rights to a series, book, or real life event. There will be 12 rounds.

Budget: You will have $45 million to spend on your cast and crew. If your producer has had a film gross over $500 million in the past decade, or has been nominated for multiple Best Pictures, you get an additional $5 million in budget. If your director has been nominated for an Academy Award and has never produced a big budget (budget over $50 million) film, Tier 1 and Tier 2 stars will work for $10 million. If you are adapting a major film franchise (film in this franchise has grossed over $100 million) you have an additional $5 million in budget. Your expenses are:

-- $2 million per actor unless the actor is listed below, in which case you pay the salary listed below. After the draft you may sign additional undrafted actors for $500,000 per actor.

-- $2 million for a writer (if your director has writing credits on a feature film, this is optional)

-- $1 million for a composer, unless that composer has won an Academy Award for Best Original Score (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Original_Score), in which case s/he will cost $2 million. If you choose not to draft a composer, you will pay $1 million for a popular music score.

Producers and directors work for free, as they get a sizable cut of the box office receipts.

*Note: Director must have had atleast 1 feature length film in the past 5 years (and be alive) to be eligible for drafting.

Actors salaries are based on the Vulture 100 movie stars list, which I broke into four tiers (first 20, next 30, next 30, final 20).

[DrSoup007]

Can I sign up now and get my list to you later? Cause I need some time to mull over the numbers.

[Cole416]

Can I sign up now and get my list to you later? Cause I need some time to mull over the numbers.
Yeah, but there is a draft so it would look like this..

1st pick - Cole
2nd pick - DrSoup007
3rd pick - 3rd guy
4th pick - 4th guy
5th pick - 5th guy
6th pick - 6th guy
7th pick - 7th guy
8th pick - 8th guy

9th pick - 8th guy
10th pick - 7th guy
11th pick - 6th guy
12th pick - 5th guy
13th pick - 4th guy
14th pick - 3rd guy
15th pick - DrSoup007
16th pick - Cole

and so on..

[CiCi]

Oh my God, this looks like a brilliant idea :love:

[DrSoup007]

Yeah, but there is a draft so it would look like this..

Ohmygod, I totally misunderstood the idea of it being a draft. This suddenly just got a lot more terrifying and interesting. I love it!

[CiCi]

So yes, I'd love to participate if that's okay! :)

[Cole416]

Added both of you guys!:D

[DrSoup007]

It's certainly a little late to implement a new category since it would probably throw the whole system off but a Cinematographer would be an interesting choice to add to the mix. And how do Executive Producer's work, they just seem to bring in more money if you choose them early on I'm guessing? Also I'm failing to see how not picking a writer effects you, in fact it just saves you money if you think the director can do a good enough job.

The Executive Producers would work with people voting. If there are weak producers/directors then people would probably vote that it'd be most likely a flop.

[Daniel M]

I'll join.

Do all the actors, and everyone involved have to be alive too, yeah?

[Cole416]

I'll join.

Do all the actors, and everyone involved have to be alive too, yeah?
Yessir!

[Swan]

Wow Cole, this is a great idea. I might be too lazy though. Hmmm....

[Cole416]

Wow Cole, this is a great idea. I might be too lazy though. Hmmm....

Be my co-producer! :D

I need all the help I can get lol

[Swan]

I'll be your composer. :D

[Cole416]

Bump for anyone interested

[ursaguy]

Sounds interesting. Sign me up. If I pick Tyler Perry as my director do I have to pay him to act :D

[seanc]

I'm in

[Nabby]

I'd be interested if there's places left

[Cole416]

Sounds interesting. Sign me up. If I pick Tyler Perry as my director do I have to pay him to act :D
If you make Tyler Perry an actor-director you have to pay 5mil, but just as director you get him for free.

Adding yall now

[Cole416]

Bump again!

What do you guys think about the actors not listed and their pricing. Should we keep it as it is or find something to help make it more accurate for foreign/lesser known guys.

[CiCi]

Possibly add the most profitable actors from other Anglophone countries?
Like a fixed price for the top ten British, Canadian, Australian etc. actors/actresses who haven't already appeared on that list.

Then for foreign actors, I guess you could the most profitable ten by continent?

[seanc]

Up to you Cole, I'm fine either way. How are you going to work the draft?

[Cole416]

Up to you Cole, I'm fine either way. How are you going to work the draft?

We can make a new thread or keep it here. It'd be serpentine and you can choose any person each round... there isn't designated rounds for each job.

[seanc]

Alright. How in depth do you want us to go once the contest starts? Is it kind of up to us or so you have a basic outline of what you want?

[Cole416]

Here's some examples from a previous one that was run.

Frank Herbert's Dune:

http://theepicbeyond.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Dune-Image-580x333.png

Set in the distant future amidst a feudal interstellar society in which noble houses, in control of individual planets, owe allegiance to the Padishah Emperor, Dune tells the story of young Paul Atreides, whose noble family accepts the stewardship of the desert planet Arrakis. As this planet is the only source of the "spice" melange, the most important and valuable substance in the universe, control of Arrakis is a coveted — and dangerous — undertaking. The story explores the multi-layered interactions of politics, religion, ecology, technology, and human emotion, as the forces of the empire confront each other in a struggle for the control of Arrakis and its "spice".[5]

Trivia

*Ben Foster will reunite with director Duncan Jones after starring in Duncan's upcoming World of Warcraft film.
*Paul Dano and DDL will share the screen again, except this time Dano's character helps get the best of DDL.
*Speaking of, Daniel Day-Lewis plays Leto Atreides, who is betrayed by Wellington Yueh and dies very early in the film. He's still an important figure and has several important scenes.
*Speaking of early deaths, Chris Evans as Duncan Idaho also dies early after going full BA and taking out a BUNCH of enemies in a heroic sacrifice. Duncan Idaho, however, returns in every Dune sequel and is a central figure in each novel after the first. My favorite fictional character possibly ever.
*Duncan Jones is David Bowie's son. David Bowie will play a small, yet important role.
*Helen Mirren will play her role completely bald.
*Dave Bautista plays a man with essentially no brain, but is a major villain.
*Gary Oldman plays Gurney Halleck, a trusted member of House Atreides. He's a warrior, but also a troubadour, which means he will have some singing duties in the film. Not to worry, however, as Gary Oldman - the greatest actor alive - is also a tremendously talented singer. He just so happened to sing a duet with David Bowie, and he also starred in a music video from Bowie's most recent musical release.

Christopher Nolan and Charles Roven the duo that brought The Dark Knight series to the Silver screen announce their latest project featuring a score from Hans Zimmer...

Plot

Brilliant Scientist Baxter Stockman and his assistant April O'Neil have developed have devloped a new pest control innovation, "Mousers"!. These machines hunt and destroy rat's and should help curtail the rodent population in New York City. But these machines could lead to other discoveries in the vast and dark New York sewer system.

As the weeks pass across town multiple banks have been broken into from the inside through tiny under ground tunnels. Could there be a link between this and the mousers? Is the scientist Baxter not Stockman quite what he seems? What other creatures live in the sewers underneath New York?

[Fabulous]

Looks very interesting. I won't be participating, but I look forward to everyone's submissions. :up:

[seanc]

Okay, very helpful. Didn't know how fleshed out you were looking for.

I consider myself the least creative person ever but I got a couple simple ideas I think might be fun.

[DrSoup007]

I already have an entire idea I want to explore. I'm gonna love this.

[SilentVamp]

This is kind of tempting just because of these two things that were said:
an Oscar bait period piece
And
you may draft the adaptation rights to a series, book
I could really take advantage of something like this. :yup:

But I just don't know if I have the energy to be creative enough to join in. :shrug:

How much time do you want to allow for a person to make a decision about joining?

[Cole416]

Sorry I haven't been active these past few days. I should be good now.

I'd like to keep this at 8-10 max, so until it fills up you have time.

[DrSoup007]

When do you think we'll schedule the draft?

[Cole416]

When do you think we'll schedule the draft?

If it fills soon i'll try to get it started by next weekend.

[Daniel M]

So after the 12 rounds of drafts, if you have money left over can you get additional actors on a first come first serve basis? I think reading through the posts here I have the hang of most of it.

I think the pricing should be fine for now, see how it goes this time round and if everything goes well can expand it in future?

[Cole416]

So after the 12 rounds of drafts, if you have money left over can you get additional actors on a first come first serve basis?
Yeah, after the draft I will open up leftover free agency at a set time and it'll be first come first serve

I think the pricing should be fine for now, see how it goes this time round and if everything goes well can expand it in future?
Agreed.

[Daniel M]

I'm looking forward to getting this started, I have a few interesting ideas I could potentially go with :)

[Gatsby]

Can I join? This sounds like fun. :)

[Cole416]

Can I join? This sounds like fun. :)

Sure. That leaves us with 8. I can either start the draft now with no time limits until Friday, or I can wait (so more people can sign up if they want to) until Friday or sometime next weekend to start with a timed draft.

[DrSoup007]

I'm more in favor of the timed draft, which Friday would it be?

[Daniel M]

If we started now, and just did it in order, we could probably get most of it done by Friday, and then whatever's left can be timed? I don't mind really, is the first order going to be just the order of sign ups in the first post?

[Cole416]

I'm more in favor of the timed draft, which Friday would it be?

I'd like to get the draft in this next weekend so we have some time to gather our ideas and not have it drag on for a long time.

[Cole416]

If we started now, and just did it in order, we could probably get most of it done by Friday, and then whatever's left can be timed? I don't mind really, is the first order going to be just the order of sign ups in the first post?
Yeah that could work, waiting would just allow some people to sign up if they didn't see it. But I'm sure most of the people interested have already seen it so we can get started now if we want.

[DrSoup007]

I could do it now. Because I'm going to be gone this Friday (5th). So if people want to do it now I can certainly make that work.

[seanc]

Always better for me when things aren't timed, but whatever you decide is fine with me Cole.

[AdamUpBxtch]

Oh my god I'm so in on this. Sign me up! I literally just noticed this was here.

[Cole416]

I'm fine with starting it now without time limits.

Are you guys fine with me getting rid of Eastwood as an actor?

[DrSoup007]

Okay, I might have to step away for a few hours to go watch True Grit but I'll try and keep this open on my phone or something. :)

Does everyone else want to start now?

[seanc]

I'm fine with starting it now without time limits.

Are you guys fine with me getting rid of Eastwood as an actor?

Cool with both.

[AdamUpBxtch]

I can already tell i'm probably not gonna be able to get the two people I want lol. This isn't gonna end well. Yeah you guys can start whenever it don't matter to me. I'm last so i'm gonna get two picks :D

[DrSoup007]

is this still on?

[Cole416]

Sorry about the disappearance again. I'm cool with starting this today without time. I don't think we need to rush this, even though I said i'd rather not have it drag on. The whole point is to have fun and if we skip people we'll lose out on a lot of it. I'll randomize the list 3 times and post the draft order.

[Cole416]

http://i.imgur.com/dTUxesR.png

Order is set. I'd like to keep this all in one thread so we can start whenever Ursa gets on.

[ursaguy]

With the first pick, I draft Wes Anderson as director and writer (highest budget at exactly 50 mil for Life Aquatic and Oscar nom for Budapest should qualify him for the reduced tier 1 actor salaries, right?)

[Cole416]

With the first pick, I draft Wes Anderson as director and writer (highest budget at exactly 50 mil for Life Aquatic and Oscar nom for Budapest should qualify him for the reduced tier 1 actor salaries, right?)

Highest budget $50m and nominated for Moonrise Kingdom, Budapest, Mr. Fox, and Tenenbaums. So yeah, tier 1 and 2 work for less. He'll be a free writer, but since he only has one Best Picture nom he wont get the additional $5m budget.

[Daniel M]

I'll have Quentin Tarantino as a writer/director, please.

[DrSoup007]

yay, I can't wait.

[Gatsby]

I pick Wong Kar Wai as writer/director.

[CiCi]

I pick Wong Kar Wai as writer/director.
A part of me just died reading that Gatsby, I have to change mine now :sick: :lol:

[Gatsby]

A part of me just died reading that Gatsby, I have to change mine now :sick: :lol:
Oops, sorry for crushing your dream. :p

May I recommend Hou Hsiao-Hisen as a worthy replacement?

[CiCi]

A part of me just died reading that Gatsby, I have to change mine now :sick: :lol:
Oops, sorry for crushing your dream. :p

May I recommend Hou Hsiao-Hisen as a worthy replacement?
I will look him up now! Thanks very much :)

[Cole416]

I hate to be that guy but im not home and QT was probably my first choice so I wont be able to make a pick till after the sb.

[DrSoup007]

Have fun, I already have a massive list of choices and draft order picks. :) I'm all set.

[Cole416]

This might be recency bias but I have to go with Paul Thomas Anderson. My favorite director would be Fincher, but he doesnt have enough writing/screenplay ability for me. I'd rather a guy I can double dip with and I doubt PTA would be around next round for me.

[DrSoup007]

Okay, I'm gonna grab my director, like most of you schlubs. I'm picking Alexander Payne for his skilled character building and clever story writing.

[Cole416]

You guys dont have to, but if you could send a profile comment after you pick to the guy after you that would speed everything up. Night :)

[CiCi]

Zhang Yimou as writer/director (I almost went for your recommendation Gatsby, it's just I've seen more of Zhang's films! :))

[Nabby]

Sorry I took my time - anyway,

Richard Ayoade for writer director please

[AdamUpBxtch]

I'll take Benedict Cumberbatch as an actor (obviously ;))

[Cole416]

Sean youre up. Pick 2 people because youre up first in the 2nd rd

[seanc]

I'm going to take the Coen brothers and Kyle Chandler

[Cole416]

Ok Adam, you're up again.

[AdamUpBxtch]

I'll take Jennifer Lawrence as an actress (trying to get my acting talent early preferably)

[Nabby]

I'll take Kate Winslet please & thank you

[CiCi]

Katharine Isabelle for acting please! :)

[Cole416]

...

[DrSoup007]

Mark Ruffalo for me :)

[Cole416]

Michael Fassbender. I think i have an idea.

[DrSoup007]

(should I have clarified that Alexander Payne was a writer/director combo?)

No, it's fine. If you want to know who has been drafted just look on the first page. I listed him as a director/writer.

[Gatsby]

Charlize Theron, I choose you!

[Daniel M]

Al Pacino please

[ursaguy]

I will select Edward Norton (2 mil) and Matthew McConaugey (10 mil)

[Daniel M]

I'll pick Oscar Isaac (2m)

[Cole416]

I'll pick Oscar Isaac (2m)

He was gonna be my next pick :(

[Daniel M]

He was gonna be my next pick :(

Wow, sorry for stealing all your people :p At least it means you have good taste, I guess, PTA would have been my second choice and Fassbender I would have picked after a few turns if no one had taken him by then :p

[AdamUpBxtch]

None of you guys have chosen the people I want, so i'm just sitting back and relaxing until my pick comes up :D

[DrSoup007]

I have a feeling that I'm gonna have to spread out my options in the later rounds

[seanc]

GAAAAATSBY!!! Let's get this draft rolling you champagne lovin' whore

[Gatsby]

I cast Chow Yun Fat ($2mil)

Sorry for the delay folks.

[seanc]

[DrSoup007]

[seanc]

[Nabby]

Not been updated in a few days - hope there's no issue, cause I only just decided what movie I was gonna make. Was winging it between 3 ideas for the 1st picks haha, but now I'm excited for my idea

[Gatsby]

Cmon guys, let's get this game going! :)

[seanc]

Hey Cole. Should we come up with some kind of time length and then you get skipped, like the NFL. Even if it's 48 hours.

[AdamUpBxtch]

I think there is still 2 more user before me if i'm not mistaken....

[AdamUpBxtch]

nvm the order was a little mess up so I didn't notice it was my turn.

I'll take Sam Rockwell lol

[Cole416]

Ok guys, sorry for not updating. Lets do this.

Sean you're up with 2 picks.

Nearly 3 rounds done. I say no skips until round 7 and then we speed it up. Thoughts?

It's tough to get picks in with the major talent but once we get to 7-ish, you should be picking character actors or composers and I doubt it'll be as hard as picking yalls A-list leads and directors.

[seanc]

J.K. Simmons
Frances McDormand

[AdamUpBxtch]

I'll take Matthew Vaughn as a Director/Writer

(seanc took jk from me damn it lol)

[Nabby]

Craig Roberts - actor, please

[Cole416]

Let's keep it going guys! To help speed it up, you should send a profile comment to the guy who's after you once you pick.

[DrSoup007]

I have all my picks, I'm just waiting...

[CiCi]

I'll have Isabelle Adjani, please! :)

[DrSoup007]

Alicia Vikander please

[seanc]

By the time this draft is over my idea is going to be an actual movie by the Coen brothers. ;)

[Gatsby]

If a film is released based on my idea, it will probably be a box office bomb and get panned by critics, but after a decade or so film buffs will say otherwise and make it into a cult classic. :)
