Adventures in Odyssey - The MOVIE

Post

Your task has been to produce for 20th Century Fox 3D-animated movie adaptation of Adventures in Odyssey. The movie can only be 2 hours and a half, but you have to satisfy both die-hard fans of the show and regular ticket buyers who have never heard of Adventures in Odyssey. Your budget is 150 million.

In a few days, you are set to meet with the heads of the studio to pitch to them your idea. You must answer these questions for them.

1) Who will direct? (and why?)

2) What would your story be about?

3) Who will write the screenplay? (and why?)

4) Which characters from the audio show would return for this film?

Good luck!

It would totally be the Blackgaard story for me, With scenes from the original Blackgaard episodes woven into the darkness before dawn series.
I'm not sure about the rest of the questions, I would need time to think. ;)
This is a cool topic though! :)

If it's only a 2.5 hour movie I would want to do something like "The Search for Whit" because I wouldn't want to cut a lot of stuff out. Novacom would be cool but depending on the director it could be dark and it would be way to long for just one movie.

I know that doesn't really answer your questions haha.. but I would have to think about it since I'm not super into the movie making process.

What a fun idea! Though, I would have no idea where to start... I'm not really good at movie production...

I agree with Mrs. Wiley. I think Novacom would be to complex. It would take more that 2.5 hours to make it any good, and then it would be to heavy and dark.

I think I would like to see GRC made though. I think that would be a good movie. There isn't any info leading up to it, and it's only as long as one album. But if you take into consideration that there wouldn't be any verbal description, you could probably make it 2.5-3 hours long... maybe... lol

I would have no idea who could be directer or screen writer... I'll get back to you on that one.

I guess you guys are right...I'd just love to see Mitch in a movie. The Green Ring Conspiracy would be good, but The Search for Whit might not make sense to non-listeners, if you know what I mean.

Yes. Non listeners wouldn't understand why Whit is missing.

I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but if you had a big director doing it, and he got free reign of the movie, it would probably not stick closely with the radio show.
Do you think you know music? Guess the hints at the end of each of my posts in A Musical Journey. (The name's a link. You can click it.)

I would have it be the Novacom Saga, starting with Oppurtunity Knocks and only going through the important episodes of Novacom. I would have Brad Bird write and direct it, and Ed Asner would play Whit, with Selena Gomez playing Connie and Justin Bieber playing Mitch. ;) Christopher Plummer would play Mr. Charles.

Hmmmm.......if it was animated why wouldn't we just have the regular actors play the characters? Although I do love me some Ed Asner :)

I'd direct it.

The story would be either Aloha Oy or Sgt. York

I'd write screenplay too.

Ok I say we shouldn't start with a huge saga plot line just yet. I say we start off with something more of a tie in of a bunch of episodes together.
