If you could produce/direct a film

oh thats a good one.

1. Finding love at the wrong time

2. Me as the leading lady of course
Nick Stahl (Carnivale) as my love interest
Al Pacino as my father
Colin Farrel as the badie

3. I would be the daughter of a rich tycoon (Pacino) and would be kidnapped by Nick Stahl (as he would be part of Farrells badie crew at first). A huge Ransom would go up for me. Daddy would try to help the cops hunt for me. Farrell is a psycho in this and i face many tortures. One day Nick Stahl comes into the the cell where i am being held and gives me water. Takes off my blind fold and i beg for him to help me. he starts to bring me things but is afraid of Farrell. One nite he comes into my room and we spend hours talking. He apologises for being involved but he is poor and needed the money and Farrell would have to kill him if he didnt stay and help. Pacino and the cops are frantically trying to get me. One night i over hear Farrel and Stahl talking and Farrell says that he will kill me anyway even if he gets the ransom. Stahl protests and gets a beating.
That night he sneaks into my cell and he takes my blindfold off and i see how badly beaten he is. I touch his beaten face and he tells me that we have to get out of here. he tells me that farrell will be going to get the ransom tommo and thats when we'll make our move.
Next day Pacino and Farrell are heading for the drop off point. Stahl somes in and we try to escape.
Back to Daddy and Farrell. Daddy uses a decoy and witnesses Farrell and follows him back to the old jail (where Im being kept, forgot to mention that). Me and Nick couldnt get out so and hiding. We hear Farrell come back and he realises that Im missing and starts searching for us. We run down some stairs and Stahl pushes me into a gap in the wall and jumps out to distract Farrell. Farrell goes nuts and is about to beat up Stahl again. Farrell hears my name being shouted by Pacino and goes to confront him.
A big face off between Pacino and Farrell as me and stahl try to sneak up to see whats going on. Farrell pulls a gun on Daddy and fires it as Stahl jumps out and is hit by the bullet. I scream. The police bust in, arrest Farrell. I run down and hug Dad. I kneal down and hold Nick. We realise that we have fallen in love but the end is near. Stahl is taken away by the ambulance and the cops tell me he died.
3 months later. Getting over my ordeal i am in the graveyard placing flowers at Nicks grave, i have a little cry when i feel a hand place on my shoulder. I am scared to turn around.
I do and standing there is Nick Stahl. He didnt die at all the cops thought it would be a good cover up incase Farrell got to him, they told him that he could never see anyone he knew again but he loved me so much he would take the chance.
Big Kiss

the end.

A long one but would be good for me.
 
My idea is to do a Run Lola Run, low-budget fast-paced "action" thriller with hints of Jackie Chan style fighting woven into the film with good measure.

a) What would it be called?
"The Briefcase" or "The Billion Dollar Contract" or "Time"

b) Who would you star in it?
Those "free-runners" or those "xtreme" martial art people.

c) What would it be about?
I don't know - it'd be about people running alot with hand-held cameras alot.

The way I see it, it would be;
The main hero wakes up with a briefcase and is told not to open it, and to deliver the package to a certain destination by a certain time - or his family will die.

The contents of the briefcase aren't known - it could be a bomb, it could be money - and the rest of the film has the hero running, trying to escape everybody - because they all want the briefcase, plus he's been "framed" for being a terrorist, and there's a contract on his head.

Did I mention there's a lot of running too with lots of fast-paced "dance" music?
 
Name - Rourouni Kenshin - (Live action version of the Anime)

Setting - Fuedal Japan

Whats it about? - A young boy named Shinta, witnesses the massacare of the people who have cared for him since the death of his parents. He vows to help people who others will not but he soon discovers that to kill in the name of others comes at an unbearable cost.

Stars - Any good Japanese actors/actresses
 
I would adapt The Catcher In The Rye and keep the New York / East Coast setting. Not sure who I'd cast as Holden, possibly Leonardo di Caprio.

Good idea. Has "Catcher" ever been done? Di Caprio is not the best casting choice, however. You need someone younger/less glossy magazinish. I'd see Tobey Maguire. But he's probably to old now as well, anyway.
