film idea

I have an idea for a movie about role players, anyone wanna help develop it? There isn't much at all right now, so all help welcome.

What happens to them?

Well it would be partly a life of geeks movie, sort of but not quite along the lines of Free Enterprise or the comic book bods in Chasing Amy I'm also wanting to do a bit of a parody of the "lets take the girls specs of and make her beautiful". There's stuff like that bin done before (chunks of Pleasantville). But I think pretty girl finds herself in dungeons and dragons and takes out contact lenses might have some potential.

As long as they don't <yawn> gradually lose contact with reality and end up killing each other...

sounds like a fun idea to me.

I'll gladly help develop in any way I'm able.

How about pretty girl finds herself in Dungeons and Dragons and quickly gets fed up of being bothered by all the fatbeards .. so she kills them, because she's clearly better.

Ok, maybe not the last bit, but it could be like .. person whose thought processes are completely different from those of a geek is trapped in a fantasy world created and populated by geeks. She ridicules the flimsy principles on which such a world is based and humour (hopefully) ensues.

Unless of course the geeks turn out to have a firmer grip on reality than those who seemingly dwell closer to it, Large chunks of folk knowledge being transferred through this modern form of storytelling. Some sort of happy-but-not-Kodak ending would be nice. Girl puts on the specs but loses boyfriend and some other responsibility gumpf.

Geeks as sage counselors disguised as utter, well, geeks.

The Tao of Steve becomes the Tao of D&D.

Haus about we all give each other a big lovely huggle?

One day, geeks return from ordering pizza to find that one fo them has scrawled "Dudes, why don't we just fuck?" on a sheet of hexagonal-grid paper. G'wan.....

Mulholland Geeks!

Beautiful woman is being taken to be sacrificed by evil heathens. Evil heathens eaten by dragon, woman hits head on rock, loses memory. Meets idealistic but noble young warrior who looks after her and helps her try to regain her memory. Nookie ensues.

Then we find out this is all just a roleplaying geek's dream/fantasy, based around his unrequited lust for the beautiful but cruel girl who works at the local pizza place.

Geek shoots self in fit of pique.

The End.

Definite potential: do y'think we could get tom hanks in to play the geek?

The Return Of Rothkoid
