Screenplay Time!

When I saw the news article this morning about the Australian Government wanting to set up an armed, floating prison ship to handle asylum seekers...

Clicky -> http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/mac...4198243176.html

I didn't think of politics.

I didn't think of human rights.

I thought of Christopher Lambert or perhaps Stephen Segal and some weeaksauce rapper side-kick with a stupid name. I saw Walken as the evil captain, I saw a Hollywood hottie as the ship's doctor who falls for our heroic protagonist (who was wrongly imprisoned of course), there's perhaps some kind of people-smuggling, chem-weapons making, undersea aliens, espionage threat - with Van Damme making his career comback as 'the President' and his twin brother.

Surely this is so crazy an idea - it MUST be made into a crappy film!

Put your screenplay ideas here - and we can submit it to Village Roadshow. Afterall - they funded Matrix 3!

Border Patrol: with vengeance

You DC!!!! You havent left any room for Bill Paxton!

" Don't kill me. I'm not a spy. I'm nothing. I'm navel lint. I have to lie to women to get laid. And I don't score much. I got a small dicl, it's pathetic."

But seriously its disgusting what they are proposing

[Jamezilla]

Bill Paxton's star shon brightly in that titty film we watched the other week

So... Maybe Walken as the evil John Howard and Paxton as the firm-but-fair captain of the prison ship who sacrifices himself to help Christopher Lambert's character escape some kind of shark pool trap set by one of the Van Damme twins.

See, i'm thinking Danny DeVito (ala Penguin/batman), as the evil John Howard, with Walken as his side kick treasurer.

Dolf would have to be the choice as the captain!!

Oh and Rosanne Barr as Amanda Vanstone!

Richard Grieco can be guy who lives in Bankstown who drives the WRX get away car when they are springed from the centre.

...and Peter Wheller can be Clancy Browns sidekick as the kick ass detention centre/correctional services types.

[The Baron]

As it is anchored off the NT we can have a Tsunami that causes it to flip over and the survivors have to climb around to try and find an exit at the bottom of the ship before it sinks.

The survivors then get swept to a small uninhabited island where they discover their love for one another 'Blue Lagoon' style.

The the ghostly Davey Jones comes to reap their souls (only added that to use the pirate smiley)

[doxximus]

This is gonna be a sweet movie.

[Roy]

Rodney Dangerfield will be the dodgy solicotor trying to argue the case of the refugees

[AGE]

Marissa Tomei as the the captian's love intrest.

Marissa Tomei as Roy's love intrest.
