Wanted: Studio looking for a couple of great action writers!

Walking into class, we had no idea what to expect, just basically the day of a lifetime in mass media and society. When asked for volunteers for the position of writer we were hesitant at first, (later we found for good reason, considering it wasn't the greatest of all spots) but raised our hands and were transformed into action writers.

At first our concept was simple....there are the Chinese people out to get the United States, specifically San Francisco. They inhabit Chinatown where they plot to take over the city, and are stopped only by the one and only, Crawl the Warrior King, we hoped to have played by Arnold Bodybuilder (aka Robbie Vrooman).

So when given the green light, our initial plan was to divide and conquer. Cheryl took the job of getting Arnold on our side by talking to his agent Kelsey and was successful, for the time being. At the same time, Kylee was pitching our idea to Big Time Studios. Unfortunately, they were looking for a "romantic comedy" film...PSH! Who cares about love?! We know that action's where it's at! It fills the seats for sure! While Kylee was continued to try with Big Time Studios, Cheryl took a chance with approaching Midville Studios. We thought we were in...

Deals were made, contracts were signed...with the actor....we thought we were in the clear and done with the hassle of setting things up. If only it were all that simple. Midville, apparently, wanted a romantic comedy as well. We were beginning to become more and more bitter with this whole love business, all we wanted were some Chinese terrorists and someone to kick some butt! We may look like sweet girls, but we crave the thrill of suspense and watching a movie on the edge of the seat because of terrorists, not who's going to fall in love with whom! Before we knew it, Midville Studios dropped us like a bad habit, took our actor and found different writers. They convinced Arnold they had a better film for him to pursue and we got the shaft.
