N-Europe: Teh Moviee!

[Fierce_LiNk]

Imagine if N-Europe was to be made into a motion picture. Think along the lines of the Sex and the City film, or even the Star Trek motion picture, where a series gets made into a film.

What would happen? What would actually happen in this movie?
What kind of problems would need to be resolved?
Would any KNEEers die?

And, more importantly, which Hollywood/Bollywood/CITV stars would play each and every one of us? Who would you want to portray us? Who would direct, write it, etc.

Over2j00!

[Ashley]

I'd blatantly write it because I aspire to be a screenwriter and have a god complex.

There would be a meetup, but a big one this time (no offence) and during it Zeikfried would send a nuclear missle toward the meet and while it would miss it would leave all KNEE-ers in the middle of a post-attack London (which would lead several Scottish members to say "Told you we should have had it in Scotland") and during the battle Jordan would die. Letty would cry. Epic drama. But on the bright side Flinky and Eenuh would overcome their awkward flirtations and Flinky would save her from Ant-Shimniimin and they would make out.

In a sweet movie way. Not in a chavs hanging around a bus stop after a few drinks lips everywhere saliva on your chin way.

[Supergrunch]

Jordan is found murdered, tension results.

I play this game with my friends - choose someone to be murdered, then think about suspects and so on.

[Emasher]

But there already was one...

http://www.n-europe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18843

Though, I think there's enough drama that goes on in the forum that it could probably be based on actual things that have happened here only translated into a movie, if you know what I mean.

[Aimless]

Jordan is found murdered, tension results
Sorry, that can't happen. Why? Because I demand there be a scene involving him and The Jar that mirrors the opening to The Raiders of the Lost Ark (http://www.santafe.edu/~albers/research/thesis/raiders_of_the_lost_ark_.jpg).

[My Buttons are Magic!]

i would love love love to be the assistant director
not the director as that is too much responsibility..lol
and then whenver ashley kills them for destroying his script i can step in their shoes
and ASHLEY - what about us irish peoples? can we not feature :(

[Emasher]

Perhaps someone could compile a list of all the great things that should be included in it and then all the creative people here could work together on a flash animation or something like that.

[The fish]

That sounds like a plan to me.

Coolness Bears to play Short-Round! :yay:

Oh, and if there isn't a scene involving Platty with a lightsabre and another with a giant mechanical spider, possibly piloted by, say, the two Sheffield boys (Jayseven and Shorty) attempting to destroy ever other member, then I'm not going to see it.

I may have been drinking tonight...

[Supergrunch]

A flash animation would be awsome, but if we were to do such a thing we'd need some kind of focus. A nub joining up? Hmm, crappy.

The only way I'd be able to do it is by writing one... actually, I'd love to do that. Someone think up a decent premise and I'll write the story in installments.

[Fierce_LiNk]

01:30 - Me is bored, and decides to create a thread.
01:35 - has idea for thread
01:39 - thread posted
01:48 - Emashed wants to make a flash animation
01:52 - Supergrunch appoints self as a George Lucas type fella, writing the installments for the movie.

Fucking hell, this idea took off quick!

How about a Crash-style thing, with several intertwining story lines?

[Fierce_LiNk]

How about a Crash-style thing, with several intertwining story lines?

Yes, but also Pulp Fiction-stylee.

With different time-frames and the ending being the start/the start being the end...YUS!

[Supergrunch]

Hell, I have a month with nothing else to do... sounds like a plan!

[The fish]

Yes, but also Pulp Fiction-stylee.

With different time-frames and the ending being the start/the start being the end...YUS!

We need some individual plots, we can intertwine them later...

- Jordan hunting for the Lost Jar
- Flinky and Eenuh attempting the meet up in London, perhaps with the latter getting kidnapped by, say, Coolness Bears
- An N-E meet up is simultaneously occurring in London
- A giant enemy crab, for funsies (fought by someone/some group?)
- Errm...
- What else?

[Supergrunch]

Hmm, I say we involve the zombie apocalypse. :wink:

[Paj!]

I'd cameo in one scene where the main characters phone a group of other b-list members for advice. I stand there for 5 minutes, and have one really important line, "I'm so tired of people sending their love to me..."

[uəʌəsʎɐɾ]

I imagine the movie follows a new member to the forums, who lies utterly about who they are. Then, through various strange events he starts to realise that everyone else on teh forum is, in fact, a neighbour; a co-worker; in his family... The 'hero' starts thinking he hears people on teh streat muttering his name, or talking about the topics from the gen chit-chat... And yeah. stuff like that. I think you could say my movie would come with the suffix "based on a true story" :P

[The fish]

Hmm, I say we involve the zombie apocalypse. :wink:

I have a cunning plan:

We start, a la Pulp Fiction, with all the surviving characters realising a zombie apocalypse has started, and then go back to show how they all got there and how it came about. (Jordan's Jar contains something which makes people become zombies, perhaps?)

[uəʌəsʎɐɾ]

wow there were, like, 10 replies in the time it took me to write that...

[Fierce_LiNk]

Hahaah, not sure if Jordan is going to be too pleased about the Legacy of the Jar still carrying on. I think he'd prefer that to be left behind, in the past. QUIT LIVING IN THE PAST, MARGE!

Also, does this film need a title? Or is N-EUROPE: Teh Moviee suitable?

[My Buttons are Magic!]

u definately need dynasty girl trying to burn mcphees shop down in an interesting subplot

or not -

[Supergrunch]

KNEE ~a community united~

Or, you know, a real title.

[Shino]

Will this have a proper story, or will it be like a series of random but funny acts?

[Supergrunch]

Will this have a proper story, or will it be like a series of random but funny acts?
1. You suggest random stories about members.
2. I link them together Pulp Fiction style, and write them up.
3. Flash animation?

I'll gladly assist with writing scripts, screenplay or plot, and photographic direction too, if you wish.

[Shino]

I just think a lengthy flash movie requires someone very talented and with LOTS of patience. Maybe some kind of comic would be easier.

[Emasher]

I think we should make a mention of the various epic threads. The original one and then the recent one about King_V and all.

Anyone else want to help with the actual flash bit?

We'll need:

Artists
Animators
Someone to do the music
Sound Effects
Voice Acting

I just think a lengthy flash movie requires someone very talented and with LOTS of patience. Maybe some kind of comic would be easier.

That really depends on how much the characters move around. If they don't move all that much and its mostly dialogue It shouldn't take too long.

[Fierce_LiNk]

Sweet, Jesus! Calm down, guys. I had no intention of making this into anything proper, it was only meant to be lighthearted. :)

Like, who would play you guys in the movie.

[Supergrunch]

You have to admit though, it'd be awesome. I can't see it getting as far as a flash animation, but I'd like to write stuff.

[killthenet]

Why don't we have several little bits going on at once? Make it like Paris J'taime but as a love letter to N-Europe instead. We can have animation, live action, crudely drawn pictures of Rokhed.

Just a mixture of everyone's personal short films collected in a great big film about various parts of N-Europe.

[Letty]

I'd happily help if theres a comic needing drawn!

[killthenet]

If it is just done as a flash movie, then I reckon that it would be much easier to just scrap the meet up premise and just structure it by having the forum itself as central to the plot.

I'm not explaining it very well, but basically just everyone posting on the forum, so cutting between people posting on the forum from their own bedrooms, to the thread they are posting in, then seeing someone elses reaction to said post.

It's a much simpler idea and it could revolve around a very simple plot.

The N-Europe Chronicles - Chapter One "The Inside Job"

[triforcemario]

In the movie, we must have at least one "GET TO DA CHOPPA" moment. And if possible, Arnold Schwarzenegger, using the soundboard off the Ventrilo Harrasment website.

[JonSt]

Give me a producer title, a job that no one quite understands what they actually do...if they actually do anything. Or Even better, an Executive Producer, there's always about 6 of them to a film.

[weeyellowbloke]

Hmmm, could have previously banned members taking revenge........but in real life. That way past members can be involved as well. Existing members must team up to survive the attacks creating drama, tension, comedy pairings, romantic encounters and a general rip-roaring rollercoaster ride of hellz-a-poppin' fun.

[Tellyn]

Hahaah, not sure if Jordan is going to be too pleased about the Legacy of the Jar still carrying on. I think he'd prefer that to be left behind, in the past. QUIT LIVING IN THE PAST, MARGE!

Also, does this film need a title? Or is N-EUROPE: Teh Moviee suitable?

Perhaps that could be one of the subplots then. It's Jordan's mission to bury the secrets of the Lost Jar once and for all, then it leads up to this scene at the end:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=MHnT3300oF4

[rokhed00]

Like, who would play you guys in the movie.

Shirley Temple could play me.

[Marshmellow]

HAHA ahh that post made my night rokhed.

Anyway, I've got flash making programs..however I know nothing of them =] So I could help, once I learn..or we could jsut make a comic and slowly maybe go to a movie.

Who would play me?

Maybe...Jason Bateman from Arrested Development?

[Ashley]

i would love love love to be the assistant director
not the director as that is too much responsibility..lol
and then whenver ashley kills them for destroying his script i can step in their shoes
and ASHLEY - what about us irish peoples? can we not feature :(

I did mean to include you lot, just didn't specify it. You know I love our Irish clan.

The N-Europe Chronicles - Chapter One "The Inside Job"

I dunno. I prefer if it were based on our lives you know? Makes it easier if we were all to come together (or come together in seperate groups across the world) than being seperate people sat at their computers.

Give me a producer title, a job that no one quite understands what they actually do...if they actually do anything. Or Even better, an Executive Producer, there's always about 6 of them to a film.

Producer = organises finances and budgets and stuff and EP = oversees them and others I believe.

Oh and as far as someone to play me...Kyle Galner or Joseph Gordann-Levitt are closer to my frame so I suppose those.

[Slaggis]

So in two pages this has developed from Flinky asking who we'd want to play us, to ideas of making an actual movie/comic? How...N-Europe of us. :p

Hmm, I've got no clue. Though a comic does sound rather awesome if it could be done.

Yeah, that's what they're suppose to do, but how many shows have big shots listed as EP's. Do you actually think they organise the budgets for catering and makeup.

[EEVILMURRAY]

I've got pr0 artistic skills and a voice which could melt butter. I'm semi-savvy with Flash MX but basically, I'm an awesome guy.

In the movie, we must have at least one "GET TO DA CHOPPA" moment. And if possible, Arnold Schwarzenegger, using the soundboard off the Ventrilo Harrasment website.
We do indeed. If it involves a fight with zombies, there needs to be a Dragonball Z type melee with everyone using quotes at the appropriate time.

[Dannyboy-the-Dane]

Sounds awesome!

[Tellyn]

I propose EEVIL and various other awesome members should be in charge of artistic direction.

[Fierce_LiNk]

If the dialogue is going to feature lulz and kthxbai every 10 seconds, then I propose Rez be kicked off the team. :heh:

[Jordan]

Agreed.

Very much agreed.

[EEVILMURRAY]

I concur. Even if it's used once, I demand to have all my material removed.

[ReZourceman]

I can adjust! If no lulz wanted, than lulz there shall not be. (Well...in the literal sense...course it would be packed with actual lulz, just not the word.)

[Dannyboy-the-Dane]

I don't know how I'd fit in ... I don't know you guys so well. Maybe I could have a cameo of some sort?

[JonSt]

Perhaps we could better the Rambo average for kills per minute? There's plenty of fodder going around.

[EEVILMURRAY]

I don't know how I'd fit in ... I don't know you guys so well. Maybe I could have a cameo of some sort?
Some crazy scientist.

[Dannyboy-the-Dane]

Some crazy scientist.

... I like that. :p

[ReZourceman]

Oooh, everyone dies, then the sequel could be the race for our spirits to find some kind of way to reanimate our bodies...then the third in the trilogy is the succesful reanimation of half the people and unsuccesful of other half, turning them into zombies.

PS this all takes place on an island for epic lulz.

[EchoDesiato]

I'm trying to come up with some good ideas, but I can't.

[EEVILMURRAY]

epic lulz.
Keep pushing me bitch.

[Mundi]

I´d like to help with some of the writing even if it´s just some minor thing :Þ

There needs to be a mafia game reference where someone says something like: "Fucking neutrals messing up the game"

[Stefkov]

In an attempt to rid the world of meat eaters and rule the internet world dynastygal aquires a army of over a million vegans.
On her quest she comes across a quiet part of the internet called N-Europe. In this quiet area of the internet where internal feuds take place over games consoles, from outside sources they hear of the destruction dynstygal reaps on the internet. The admins form an army of 300 faithful KNEErs to fight against dynastygal and hold the fort.
lol.

[gaggle64]

I've always analogised this forum as a village (New-Europe) living on the fringes of one of three war torn magical medieval dystopias, and then daydreamed stories out of that. Characters include Jordan (blacksmith) and his mildly unsuccessful Alchemy girl Lettice ("Look, it's blue!") Fierce, the mythical warrior, Artie and Dan, a pair of young, rambumtious twins, Eenuh the artist, Bluey the cross-ocean explorer, Raining the melancholic bar wench, Mr Fish the demented mayor, Rok the misunderstood rock monster, Vicar the Vicar, blah blah etc. and so on.

I imagine a bunch of shorter things could turn out better. It could utilize more people's talents ect.

[EEVILMURRAY]

Damn right. What gaggle said is far more interesting than basing this on our lives.

I also think we need to get some Christian Teens into the story somehow for some cannon fodder.

[Ashley]

Well I didn't mean our personal lives. I just meant finding some way for people to be together. Rather than just sitting at their computer typing away.

An internet Flash series would be great, you could do something different with each one without being tied down to a storyline where you try to cram a load of people in.

For instance, one could be a parody of CSI with Ashley taking the role of Gil Grissom/Horatio Caine (with his superior mafia CSI skills) and investigating the murder of King_V, a pimp found firebombed in his own home. (Just rolling off ideas here :heh:)

[Dog-amoto]

But...

...there's already been an N-Europe movie...

Too many chefs, guys! Too, too many...

Killthenet had the right idea - 'cept I interpret as a sort of animatrix envison, where all these awesome, lame, dire, and alright ideas can each hold their own courts rather than everyone slinging their own flavoured poo at a giant canvas. Some people want realism, some people want escapism. Hooray for the limitations of existence!

This is a great idea. It'd be like an online comic strip ... just, y'know, animated. :)

[Ashley]

Individual short stories could be good. But each of them can build into a larger puzzle (little hints/foreshadowings in each) building to a grand crescendo where Jordan dies.

Or Tim and Greben save us from aliens or something.

[Shino]

Leave Jordan alone! Poor thing.

[Mr_Odwin]

I'd like to run the religious commune where I marry all the forum girls and then marry all our daughters too. Sounds great!

You and Rez are the town fools. You get drunk a lot and keep accidentally getting into mischief which regularly brings great misfortune upon the town. In my head, you once accidentally urinated on a sleeping dragon and the whole village was nearly destroyed were it not for a mysterious stranger with a golden sword and breastplate who warded it off.

[Roostophe]

A Knee film, y'say?

I'd be an attention seeker, bit like an extra who hams it when he gets shot (pirouette, girly scream, fall on floor, spasm aaaaaaaaand dead.).
My only line would be: "I've been here for FOUR FUCKING YEARS! Give me some recognition, some power, something that will make my time seem worthwhile!"

Then Eevil shoots me with a special "Shabba" gun, and says "See you at the party! The wrap party, to be precise! MC DICKO!"

[EEVILMURRAY]

That's it. I've gotta watch the video again now.

[Mokong X-C]

If the movie is to involve Zombies or any form of demon i would be the guy who mainly uses a sword (preferably a katana or real replica of the Master Sword) instead of guns with a kick ass scene where i chop down a whole horde of them. While trying to protect a number of forum members who were using guns but ran out of ammo. During the battle one forum member will be bitten by a Zombie/Vampire, after the battle an emotional scene where bitten person asks to be put of their misery but I refuse at first but finally give in to their request. Mean while another person was also bitten but they hide it and nobody notices until they finally "turn" while my back is turned and eat my brains :heh:

[EEVILMURRAY]

I think you should be a midget Hero, who collects huge swords but can't use them for shit. When the zombies attack he defeats a few by blind swinging, then becomes one. But turns against them in the climatic final battle, sacrificing himself, like the dude with the nuke at the end of Starship Troopers... which I'm very tempted to watch now.

[killthenet]

I'm gonna have a crack at making one over the next few days, I've written a script, don't know how it's going to fly yet, not sure on the materials i'm going to use, but i'll have a go. Results soon, probably...
