The Ultimate Movie Fantasy Draft

[dreamdead]

Ooh. Nice, Deakins and Coen Brothers make total sense.

And who the first pick of round 4, K-FANNNNNN?

[Kurosawa Fan]

Still thinking. Post will be ready in minutes.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Kate Winslet

[dreamdead]

I... would totally watch your movie thus far. Winslet is a strange case of the actress who I think would benefit from a Coen Brothers film, if only to clean the air of respectability that has polluted her recent choices...

[Ezee E]

Lucky sent me two picks, so I'm not sure who he wants. I'll wait a few hours to see if he posts.

Madman, however, knows exactly who he wants...

http://whatwouldtotowatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Midnight-in-Paris-Owen-Wilson-Rachel-McAdams.jpg

Owen Wilson. As screenwriter I believe for his Wes Anderson film.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Thanks!

[Lucky]

Oops. I thought if I deleted it from my PM's that it would delete on your end, too. Anyway, I caught this before I left for class, so my next pick...

Supporting Actor: Jake Gyllenhaal

[Dukefrukem]

Go Skitch Go!

[Raiders]

I... would totally watch your movie thus far. Winslet is a strange case of the actress who I think would benefit from a Coen Brothers film, if only to clean the air of respectability that has polluted her recent choices...

Eh? Not sure what an "air of respectability" really means, but though Mildred Pierce won a lot of awards, that doesn't stop it from being a fierce role in which she was awesome. I don't think Contagion is really the kind of stuffy film I imagine you are referring to, and Carnage, though very flawed and not as funny or biting as it thinks, has Winslet as one half of the main bright spot, her and Waltz's couple (and their reactions to most of the evening) are by far the highlights.

I actually think she had a brilliant year.

[dreamdead]

I actually think she had a brilliant year.

True, I suppose that I'm still holding The Reader and the Weinstein campaigning against her. I haven't seen any of Winslet's roles this past year.

[MadMan]

http://whatwouldtotowatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Midnight-in-Paris-Owen-Wilson-Rachel-McAdams.jpg

Owen Wilson. As screenwriter I believe for his Wes Anderson film.Yep, that is correct. I really wish that Wilson would work with Anderson again-he was a collaborator with him on some of Anderson's best movies.

Also great picture choice, Ezee. Wilson was great in Midnight In Paris. I forgive him for Marmaduke-from my understanding he made it to help with his image problem after the reported suicide attempt. He responded by staring in a great Woody Allen movie, though.

[Skitch]

For my fourth pick...

VERA FARMIGA.

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e125/skitchthemovieman/vera.jpg

[Dukefrukem]

I need the look of the Dark Knight, Inception and Insomnia. So I will draft Wally Pfister as my CINEMATOGRAPHER.

http://www.soundonsight.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/wally-pfister.jpg

[Dukefrukem]

For my fourth pick...

VERA FARMIGA.

Id like to point out she was the backup of one my roles.

[TGM]

For my fourth pick, I choose:

http://likemark.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/p1020278.jpg

Cinematographer Bill Pope

[Skitch]

Id like to point out she was the backup of one my roles.

:lol:

I gave serious consideration to snaking you on Pfister!

[Dukefrukem]

For my fourth pick, I choose:

http://likemark.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/p1020278.jpg

Cinematographer Bill Pope

He was my backup Cinematographer.

So far, only one of my 1st choices were taken and three of my backups.


:lol:

I gave serious consideration to snaking you on Pfister!

Was it that obvious?

[Ezee E]

Yup...

http://www.filmsy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/ennio.jpg

[TGM]

NO HOTLINK!

(ie, your pic ain't showing, E. ;) )

[MadMan]

Talk to the hand, Ezee :lol:

[Ezee E]

It's Ennio Morricone.

[Spinal]

Back to me already? Shit. Hold on.

[Spinal]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v696/joel_harmon/Udo20Kier-3.jpg

Udo Kier, bitches.

[Watashi]

Can I still jump in? Because everyone I want to draft is still available.

[Spinal]

Do it! We need a 16th team!*




* pending approval from Ezee

[Dukefrukem]

Can I still jump in? Because everyone I want to draft is still available.

Don't worry, we're going to do multiple drafts. We're half way through.

[Dukefrukem]

Do it! We need a 16th team!*




* pending approval from Ezee

Meh, my last picks were based on the number of participants.

[Spinal]

Meh, my last picks were based on the number of participants.

You're thinking on a whole different level.

[Dukefrukem]

You're thinking on a whole different level.

Well, when there are 15 participants, and 14 of them have already picked directors, I could waste a draft position and pick a director whom I know no one else is going to pick until the last round, or I can pick more valuable people for my movie first. Makes sense does it not?

Yes I am using a little bit of Fantasy Football in my decisions here but hey, that’s half the fun.

[Ezee E]

jump on in wats. We need 16 for the eventual tourney.

[Dukefrukem]

jump on in wats.

:|

[Ezee E]

You can make your first three picks Wats. And I think it'd be fine for you to make your fourth pick at the end of the round.

With that, should I do another lottery for the final four rounds? Or place wats where Boner was at? I believe that was between Spinal and dreamdead? I'll let majority decide this one.

[Ezee E]

:|
There were 16 peeps originally. Shouldn't really change a thing.

[Dukefrukem]

There were 16 peeps originally. Shouldn't really change a thing.

Read my post above. It does change things.

Edit: I know chances are slim that he'll pick who I've passed up but still... don't say it doesn't change things.

Just give Brad Bird to Wats and let's move on. :P

[Ezee E]

Fair enough.

Hope this doesn't confuse anyone into thinking Dylan's been drafted.

[Spinal]

Read my post above. It does change things.

Edit: I know chances are slim that he'll pick who I've passed up but still... don't say it doesn't change things.

It may alter things slightly, but otherwise we have to figure out a way to negotiate a 15-team playoff.

[Dukefrukem]

It may alter things slightly, but otherwise we have to figure out a way to negotiate a 15-team playoff.

I didn't even know we were doing a playoff.

[Watashi]

My first 3 picks are:

http://blurppy.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/1bird-brad-cp-4410063.jpg

BRAD BIRD (SCREENWRITER)

http://images.nymag.com/images/2/daily/2010/09/22_wachowski_560x375.jpg

THE WACHOWSKI SIBLINGS (DIRECTOR)

http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lye3kfmnbY1r12doxo2_400 .jpg

GARY OLDMAN (ACTOR)

[Lucky]

Well, when there are 15 participants, and 14 of them have already picked directors, I could waste a draft position and pick a director whom I know no one else is going to pick until the last round, or I can pick more valuable people for my movie first. Makes sense does it not?

Yes I am using a little bit of Fantasy Football in my decisions here but hey, that’s half the fun.

FYI, I haven't picked a director yet either. Wilder is my screenwriter. I was using the same strategy as you. That's actually why I sent you two PM's, E. I realized this after I sent my director choice.

[Watashi]

Are we only picking 4 acting choices? What if I don't want a lead actress, but 2 supporting actors?

[Ezee E]

Are we only picking 4 acting choices? What if I don't want a lead actress, but 2 supporting actors?
You need 2 actors, 2 actresses.

[Lucky]

Are we only picking 4 acting choices? What if I don't want a lead actress, but 2 supporting actors?

That notion has been thrown out and nixed. You have to follow actor/actress/supp actor/supp actress.

[Ezee E]

The game is in its first phase. Certainly we'll get through this and reevaluate next game.

[Dukefrukem]

FYI, I haven't picked a director yet either. Wilder is my screenwriter. I was using the same strategy as you. That's actually why I sent you two PM's, E. I realized this after I sent my director choice.

So I should be blaming E on inaccurate information on the first post? :P

[Lucky]

So I should be blaming E on inaccurate information on the first post? :P

Nah, no one's to blame since we technically don't need to specify who we're using what role for. He just assumed.

[Dukefrukem]

And isn't it weird that Wats picked Gary Oldmen when he's clearly making an animated movie?

[TGM]

And isn't it weird that Wats picked Gary Oldmen when he's clearly making an animated movie?

Well, Gary Oldman did a hell of a job playing an evil peacock in Kung Fu Panda 2.

[Watashi]

And isn't it weird that Wats picked Gary Oldmen when he's clearly making an animated movie?
I'm not making an animated movie.

[Dukefrukem]

Well, Gary Oldman did a hell of a job playing an evil peacock in Kung Fu Panda 2.

:lol: That he did. I forgot about that one. I only knew of his voice acting in the COD series, which he plays a Russian.

[Dukefrukem]

I'm not making an animated movie.

So Brad Bird will be writing his debut live action movie? Interesting.

[Fezzik]

Read my post above. It does change things.

Edit: I know chances are slim that he'll pick who I've passed up but still... don't say it doesn't change things.

Just give Brad Bird to Wats and let's move on. :P

The irony here is that I was planning on choosing Brad Bird as my screenwriter with my next pick and probably would not have waited this long if I'd known Wats was involved. :lol:

No big deal at all, there are plenty of others out there that will suffice, but as Duke says it DOES change things a little.

For the next game, we need to have some kind of rule in place for late joiners.

Carry on :)

[D_Davis]

Just so I'm totally clear on everything - the winner's movie is getting made and there is a cash prize of $1,000,000 dollars, right?

[TGM]

Just so I'm totally clear on everything - the winner's movie is getting made and there is a cash prize of $1,000,000 dollars, right?

That's correct, yes.

[D_Davis]

That's correct, yes.

OK, thanks. I don't want to waste my time just for something silly and fun.

[Li Lili]

because there'll be a winner?

[MadMan]

So Brad Bird will be writing his debut live action movie? Interesting.I'm pretty sure that Brad Bird directed MI:4, dude.

[TGM]

I'm pretty sure that Brad Bird directed MI:4, dude.

He didn't write it, though.

[Fezzik]

OK, thanks. I don't want to waste my time just for something silly and fun.

That's the best reason to do something!

[Skitch]

I love this place. Group hug!

[TGM]

I love this place. Group hug!

:pritch::pritch::pritch::pritc h:

[Dukefrukem]

I'm confused by DDs post. Is there a correlation between the seriousness of things and how much fun you're supposed to have with them?

[Fezzik]

I kinda wish I hadn't said anything.

Believe me, my only intention was to point out that in the future, it might be a good idea to have a rule that covers this situation. I wasn't bitching at all. It's a new process. There are kinks.

[Dukefrukem]

Yeh but on MC, even if you post a :) face, that's still considered bitching.

[Skitch]

Its all good fellas. :)

I hope this becomes the first of many of these games. I think this has real potential.

[dreamdead]

With my fourth pick, I select

http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2010/database/100531/michelle-williams-300.jpg

Michelle Williams.

[MadMan]

He didn't write it, though.True.

And I hope to finish in the middle of the pack. Hurray for mediocrity :P

[Ezee E]

How should we handle late joiners/early deserters then? Just curious what you all have in mind. Surely, Boner would have drafted differently then Watashi, but that person was always there.

Just asking for ideas for the next game.

[TGM]

The only thing I can think is that maybe if a new person joins the game late, they don't get to make their catch-up picks until the end of the round, to give everyone else a chance to draft taking the newcomer into account (since, as was the case, at least one person would've drafted differently).

[Skitch]

Or if the objector could name their intended target in pm to the commish, and they would be off limits to the late-to-the-party member, but said target would be fair game for regular drafters. Or maybe that's too complicated and I should shut up.

[Ezee E]

TGM's idea might work.

[Gizmo]

What about putting them at the end of the current round in play with their first pick plus up to half of total rounds, then into the vacant spot the following round with their pick +1. Each round they'd do their pick +1 until caught up.
Example join in round 4: pick last in round 4 with 1st pick and 2nd pick (1/2 of the 4). Then in round 5 pick in the open spot with 2 picks (up to 4 choices now) round six they'd pick 2 again and be caught up.


Also, am I past my pick time? looks like 11am MST on 3/3, which is tomorrow, but i think that's supposed to be 3/2 which would have been today. I'll keep waiting for D_Davis, but don't want to be picked over by Ivan Drago for waiting if today is the day.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Its all good fellas. :)


QUIT BITCHING!!! :frustrated:

[Ivan Drago]

Speaking of which, did you get my PM, E?

[Spinal]

I doubt 'late joiners' would be much of an issue in the future. This time people signed up without having any idea what we were doing. It's all an experiment. So, you know, no biggie.

I read this once and it hurt my brain. I'll read it again later.

It is Davis' turn, and he has until tomorrow to pick.

I have your PM Drago.

[Li Lili]

Concerning late joiners, personally, I don't mind.
But I found that the more we are, the more interesting it is.

[Dukefrukem]

For cinematographer, I choose:

Morten Soborg

I have no idea what the guy looks like, but Valhalla Rising is the best looking film of the decade.

[Dukefrukem]

Loved that movie.

[Gizmo]

Writing for this will be:

Ezee I pm-ed you my next pick. I actually won't be online tonight, as far as I know, and I know that I draft next to last in this round.

[Ivan Drago]

I can post on my phone right now. Ladies and gentlemen, Ivan Drago's Ultimate Movie Fantasy is very pleased to welcome its screenwriter. . .

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EqzMFmtJLUE/T0jmDP15MDI/AAAAAAAABJY/UU9-Ht-NXMU/s1600/cronenberg.jpg

David Cronenberg!

[Li Lili]

Just a question, can the screenwriter be actually just a writer (the one I've got in mind is a writer, but some of his novels have been adapted for films). Maybe a silly question, but it's just to be sure before I post.

and I guess, it's my turn... Have to think who I'll pick for this round...

[Li Lili]

Actually, I can't remember if we've already said anything about this, but could we pick up someone who works in another field of film industry. For instance, someone known as a director can be picked as a cinematographer or composer (especially if we know that she or he has already been once or twice).
I'm in my doubt mood.

[Watashi]

I would think so. Someone could select John Carpenter as their composer if they wanted to.

I'm in my doubt mood.

I've already picked up Lynch and Herzog with the thought that they could be placed in a few different places depending on who else I get.

[Dukefrukem]

Also why I picked up Nolan. I'm banking on selecting director last, but if who I have in mind get's chosen, I'll move Nolan up to the top and select a new screenwriter.

[Spinal]

Tommy Wiseau still on the board and Drago goes for Cronenberg. This could end up costing him.

I don't see that being a problem

[Ivan Drago]

Tommy Wiseau still on the board and Drago goes for Cronenberg. This could end up costing him.

By the end of the draft, Tommy Wiseau will scream that I'm tearing him apart.

[Li Lili]

Ok ! Thanks! That will be for the later rounds....:)

As an actor I choose, Joaquin Phoenix

Draft isn't going to resume until Monday anyway, so no real need to be rushing, except Wats may steal more picks!!!!

I'm willing to put money on it. But I missed that we were taking a day off to rest. I shall relax now.

[D_Davis]

BTW, I picked a non-Asian. So suck it, Spinal!

[Spinal]

BTW, I picked a non-Asian. So suck it, Spinal!

I'm in your head, Davis. Which means I've already won.

Anyway, I'm guessing I'll have at least as many Europeans as Davis has Asians.

Andrew Stanton (as screenwriter)

Do I get back to back picks?

[TGM]

It looks like everyone drafted from last round, so I assume you're good to go for your Round 5 pick.

[Spinal]

I'd wait for a ruling on that. In previous rounds, Ezee has Wats in the middle of the round.

[Ezee E]

Yeah, wats took boner's spot. So he goes back there.

[Ezee E]

It is now fezzik's turn

Masatoshi Nagase

He played in many films, including Mystery Train (Jim Jarmusch), Cold Fever (Fridrik Thor Fridriksson, excellent film!) and of course many Japanese films (including the trilogy I like very much, The Most Terrible Time in My Life, Stairway to the Distant Past, The Trap).

Alison Brie

And yes, there will be a lesbian scene in my movie.

[Kiusagi]

Heh, sorry. I thought the same thing, actually.

[Kiusagi]

And yes, there will be a lesbian scene in my movie.

[MadMan]

Barry Pepper is a pretty underrated actor, really.


And yes, there will be a lesbian scene in my movie.That's cheating :P

[Spinal]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v696/joel_harmon/paul-thomas-anderson-1.jpg

Paul Thomas Anderson

(Anderson will direct, Lynch will write, Herzog is my lead actor.)

[Ivan Drago]

My supporting actress will be:

Alison Brie

How on earth did you keep yourself from jizzing in your pants upon meeting her?

[dreamdead]

Hmm. Very interesting, Spinal. I'm interested in how you'll reconcile the naturalism of Ullman with Herzog...

[dreamdead]

How on earth did you keep yourself from jizzing in your pants upon meeting her?

My guess: Brie was wearing more clothes when Wats saw her than she's wearing in that image.

[Spinal]

Hmm. Very interesting, Spinal. I'm interested in how you'll reconcile the naturalism of Ullman with Herzog...

I probably won't.

[Dukefrukem]

[D_Davis]

Paul Thomas Anderson



Man, you picked the WRONG Paul Anderson.

[Ivan Drago]

Obsessed much, Duke?

[Spinal]

Man, you picked the WRONG Paul Anderson.

:frustrated:

[Spinal]

Probably jinxing myself, but I haven't had any of my choices stolen yet.

[Ivan Drago]

I've only had my first and backup choices for lead actor stolen. Still I think I found or will find a good replacement.

[Watashi]

I'm pretty sure no one will take my next actor, composer, or cinematographer.

[D_Davis]

Actually, the lead-actor switch from B-Pep to C-How has transformed my film from an OK actioner to a genuinely amazing film about the very conventions of genre cinema. It's now operating on a completely different level.

[dreamdead]

Since I've arbitrarily tried to keep from grabbing anyone who has already done extensive work with anyone else (e.g. Emmanuel Lubezki and Malick) I've selected, I think I'm good. I'd only be worried about Boner M grabbing my cinematographer, and since he's not in this...

I only had one actor snapped up being I could get them, and that person was someone who would have reshaped my film had they been available, so I'm actually happy about them being snatched up, since my original design has otherwise unfolded smoothly.

[Dukefrukem]

Obsessed much, Duke?

That obvious? I love this game.

Zoe Saldana for me:

Blame Lucky. I wanted Cruz for that role first. :lol:

[Dukefrukem]

TGM/// GO!!! MoFO

[TGM]

K, so I'm having a bitch of a time deciding who I want for the rest of my cast, so I'm gonna go ahead with my director instead. Was gonna save him for last, since I know no one else is taking him, but eh, my fifth draft pick is:

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Film/Pix/pictures/2009/7/20/1248095006147/Zack-Snyder-at-the-Berlin-001.jpg

Zack Snyder

[Fezzik]

Zoe Saldana for me:

http://www.straitpinkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/zoe-saldanad.jpg

I approve... Of both the pick and the pic.

:pritch:

[MadMan]

I'm spending the rest of the draft kicking myself for not doing something that would have been way cooler than what I'm already planning. Oh well.

[Watashi]

Zack Snyder.... picked above Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.

[TGM]

Zack Snyder.... picked above Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.

As were the Wachowski Brothers.

[MadMan]

Zack Snyder.... picked above Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.I strangely approve :P

At least it'll be entertainingly homoerotic, given Snyder's style together with the Gosling and McGregor factor.

I strangely approve :P

The Wachowski's directed Bound. Now imagine a remake with Rebecca Hall and Alison Brie.

[Dukefrukem]

I haven't figured out who I am taking to replace Zoe yet. So I'm going to pick Renner.

I see how you're getting here, since the Wachowskis are into psychosexual subcultures, and their films express that interest.

However, I have never gotten that same sense from Brad Bird scripts. I'd be seriously interested in seeing that development, since I'd like to see more "sexual deviance" in cinema, but your first pick just throws off that template for me.

This will be Bird's most ambitious script yet.

[Dukefrukem]

I think I may move Quentin to my writer position. Hmmm.

Best dialog writer in the biz. I'd say that's a good move.

[Dukefrukem]

I thought of a cool rule we could enact for the next draft.

You can't draft anyone who has been selected in the draft preceding it. It opens the door for more creativity instead of selecting someone you may not have thought of, but only remembered after someone else drafted. It also simulates that person still be used for that particular project over a given peroid of time, and assuming they cannot work on two projects at once. So selecting the same people in back to back drafts is forbidden, but in the 3rd draft it opens the door to the first people selected.

Thoughts?

[Ezee E]

I like it.

[Kurosawa Fan]

That would likely turn away new participants though.

[TGM]

That would likely turn away new participants though.

Not necessarily. There's still plenty of big names who haven't been picked yet, plus this helps limit the field even more from the get-go, making the next game that much more interesting.

[Ezee E]

MadMan PMs me his pick:

Mark Mothersbaugh

[Dukefrukem]

That would likely turn away new participants though.

How so?

When the new draft begins, we list everyone who is ineligible for selection. There’s plenty of other people to choose from.

[D_Davis]

MadMan PMs me his pick:

Mark Mothersbaugh

http://static.rhap.com/img/356x237/6/8/8/2/1022886_356x237.jpg

Brilliant.

[MadMan]

I love Devo, and Mothersbaugh has been responsible for pretty much all of Wes Anderson's soundtracks.

[Kurosawa Fan]

Okay, my next two picks are Todd Field as screenwriter:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/73/25_Feb_2007_Oscars.JPG/220px-25_Feb_2007_Oscars.JPG

And Isabelle Huppert as actress/supporting actress:

I like the pick, but it looks like he's making kissy faces at his Oscar in that picture. :lol:

To be honest, if I ever won one, I'd probably do the same thing.

[Spinal]

And Isabelle Huppert as actress/supporting actress:



Another excellent pick.

Benedict Cumberbatch!

[Kiusagi]

Whatever happened to Connelly anyway?

She doesn't work much these days. Busy taking care of the kids, maybe. She pops up from time to time in indie films and shitty mainstream films like The Dilemma. I would definitely like to see more of her.

[Li Lili]

I never would have thought that Tsai's visual collaborator would have been, comparatively, so old. I learned something new today. :pritch:

What a great body of work Liao has...
Yep, I think every single film by Tsai (and Lee Kang-sheng) was shot by him!

[Spinal]

I've been putting off cinematographer, because I really don't know who to pick. I don't pay too much attention to them, I guess.

[MadMan]

I've been putting off cinematographer, because I really don't know who to pick. I don't pay too much attention to them, I guess.I just went with the cinematographer that Wes Anderson typically uses. Since most directors work with just one particular guy when it comes to photography, the most easiest way to go about it is to draft the guy they work with. In fantasy football the equivalent would be drafting a QB, and then drafting the WR he throws to on a regular basis.

[Russ]

Oooh, love the Barry Adamson pick.

[Gizmo]

I'm pretty sure it's (past) my pick...

Danny Elfman

[Li Lili]

Asia Argento
I thought about her too.
I liked her very much in Tony Gatlif's Transylvania.


Oooh, love the Barry Adamson pick.
Yes!Thx! I hesitated at first, but I think he would be a good composer (especially for a kind of jazzy/groovy/cool music). I like very much Jazz Devil, The Man with the Golden Arm, The Vibes Ain't Nothin' But the Vibes and so on.... And he was the composer of some various films (including Lost Highway).

[Kurosawa Fan]

Are we really waiting on Duke?

[Skitch]

I think I'm good to pick, time-wise...

I select Geoff Barrow as my composer.

For music, the soundtrack will feature music by Ryan Adams.

If this isn't in the rules, my backup is Jon Brion.

[MadMan]

I woke up just in time to make my next pick. Man that was a long wait...

For my Supporting Actor, I'm choosing Jason Schwartzman

http://www.flix66.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Jason-Schwartzman.jpg

[Spinal]

At the end of the draft? Are we going to have a FA drop/pick up?

I might take advantage of this as well.

So what do we do after the next round?

If we're composing a synopsis for the purpose of 'competing' with other films, can we have a word limit? Just to give us a sense of what we should be shooting for. Also, how long will we have to put our movies together?

[MadMan]

I just have a brief synopsis of my what my movie is about. And even then that will probably go through several edits. I'm not sure who else I would cast really in this Wes Anderson film, although I have some ideas. Really though I'm just all about filling the regular spots, and worrying about the rest later. Which is how fantasy drafts always turn out. By the 12th round you draft someone because hey you either like them, or maybe they fill some need but you end up cutting them later. Which makes me wonder: can we drop some of our draft choices and pick up others? Then it would be like real fantasy football :pritch:

[Kurosawa Fan]

I'll take T-Bone Burnett

Mike Nichols

Alright, my draft is done.

Director - Mike Nichols
Writer - Billy Wilder
Actor - Jon Hamm
Actress - Marisa Tomei
Supporting Actor - Jake Gyllenhaal
Supporting Actress - Penelope Cruz
Cinematographer - Robert Elswit
Music - Ryan Adams

[Russ]

Does everyone have to come up with a title for their fantasy film? I sure hope so. 'Cause that's 50% of my grading criteria right there.

[Winston*]

These are going to be fantasy films? Neat.

[Skitch]

I'm a little confused on who's turn it is so I will wait to hear from the commish on round 8.

[TGM]

It's Madman's turn. Lucky just went since he was choosing a director and Madman already chose a director, meaning that Madman wasn't going to pick that particular person anyways.

[D_Davis]

If we're composing a synopsis for the purpose of 'competing' with other films, can we have a word limit? Just to give us a sense of what we should be shooting for.

Let's try to keep it to under 50,000 words.

[MadMan]

With my last available draft pick, I choose for my supporting actress:

Anjelica Huston

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Music/Pix/pictures/2011/3/2/1299074467684/Anjelica-Huston--007.jpg

I would have drafted sooner, but my Internet was just now restored after getting knocked out earlier tonight by some dumb rain storm.

[Skitch]

With my final pick, I select director RIAN JOHNSON.
