Movie Idea #386
Okay, here's my latest movie idea.
We saw V for Vendetta last night, and it gave me an idea. Not on the political themes or anything, but in the way it presents V.
I thought wouldn't it be cool to do a typical, traditional style superhero movie (think Spiderman), except you don't get to know who the superhero is?
So you're introduced to a bunch of people, teenage kids, whatever, and the girl keeps running into the superhero, kinda like Spiderman from Mary Jane's perspective. And then, at the end, he pulls off the mask, and you find out who it is as well as the character.
The idea being aside from it being a generic superhero movie, you're also guessing who the hero is, and never quite seeing the whole story (so no origin story or any of that stuff, because you don't see it from the hero's perspective, just from what the other characters see).
I reckon it'd be quite cool to see a movie where the superhero isn't seen through anybody but the other characters around him/her. And you could pull a pretty good twist ending with who it is. Have all the signs point to one person then it turn out to be another.
It'd make an awesome film. Should totally be our summer film project.

yeahyeah, have fun!
I intend too :P
But c'mon, it's a good idea!
Yes it is. I'm just grumpy 'cause none of my friends over here know how to make a decent film! Gah.
could be good, except with out cast it would be bloody obvious who it was, "Oh the superhero's tall and flappy.... maybe its carl..." hmm. could be fun tho.
Nah, we get some people who are a similar height, it'll be hard to tell. Gloved and masked and stuff.
Be funny too if he looks totally like somebody, then turns out to be someone different!
(Hey, we could swap actors!)
Of course, we have to make a superhero first....
Flap man! With his giant hands he flaps away crime! Oh no! Spider-man. Guy gets bitten by a radioactive spider, gets spider abilities.
Doesn't matter on the hero, can be something generic. It's the presentation that matters!
lol, i take it i cant be the superhero then :p
Superbaird?
...
I'm scared.
it would be flaptastic!
You have serious issues with your flappitude!
You both need to be forced to watch the extended Lord of the rings dvd's without a toilet break. Seriously V_V.
Flappitude = Dark and scary superhero?
Now I'm confused!
Flapman would be like Batman. Just more emo.
it would be full of flapitude :D
Surely LESS emo?
Batman was like the ultimate emo.
Only problem with that is that it'd make a brilliant twist at the end to reveal it actually is a girl, which means we'd have to hide the fact throughout the film.
And more than hair gives away a girl is a girl, if you see what I mean.
boobs
He said it.
"And I agree with tash- can't be a girl" ....those two contradict each other =P
But yeah, could be a big secret. Funny too. If the girl has a crush on the superhero who turns out to be a girl too!
SUMMER film.
Do I have to draw you guys a calender?
you don't HAVE to, but could be amusing to see your attempt. Just don't use a computer. I want a hand-drawn very silly callender. And hurry up before you miss filming the lesbians.
But then I can't post it in the comments can I =P
Its caleld real lfie. Lookign into it =P
Real life you say?
To hell with that. I like where I live. It's unrealistic and fun.
And it's called:
University.
That strange strange place...
Film making galore!
I never said REAL life was unrealistic. I just said I prefer unrealistic life.
