For the past month and a half, Proph and I have been collaborating on a feature length screenplay, DOUG IS GOING TO DIE. It is a comedy about a young man named Doug that finds out he has a rare form of leukemia that is incurable. He has a few months to live. It is a satire on the those inspirational movies that are about someone that is about to die (for example, THE BUCKET LIST or THE LAST HOLIDAY starring Queen Latifah). It has a very goofy sense of humor (Think kind of like WAYNE'S WORLD). Also, it takes place in the suburbs, so we make fun of suburban culture a lot too. We're planning on having a first draft done in about a month.
We have a "bucket list sequence" in the film. In it, Doug and his best friend Calvin decide to do a bucket list for him. It's going to be a very fun montage. Lamar and I were brainstorming to the song "Bad Kids" by the Black Lips (here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tAdG2D5fZQ).
If you guys have any funny ideas for some funny scenes or funny little jokes to throw in the montage, throw them our way! Even if it's just a funny situation. Or even if it's a real one, that maybe we could make funny (for example, we have a skydiving scene that goes wrong when another make-a-wish kid is there on the same day, taking all the shine). We want to make the montage as funny and exciting as possible.
Here is what we have so far:
- Shoplifting at the dollar store scene
- Going Christmas Caroling in the summertime
- Start a riot at the post office
- Go to a real jazz club and decide that "jazz is weird"
- Play in the ball pit at discovery zone
- Try crystal meth
Doug is Going to Die! Yeahhh!
