So there we stood, like the unloved puppies at the pet store no one will adopt, like the toys left on the shelf, like the yucky carrots left in the container in the cafeteria mixed in with some cottage cheese that no one wants to take a chance at....alone, with no one to listen to our amazing ideas! According to our descriptions, we were almost the best writers in Hollywood, but no one seemed to notice this trait of ours. So basically, we said to heck with everybody else, let's go indy!
And indy we became! We had no money, only a thirst for greatness, and a desire to make Hollywood history! We were set to show those big studios what they were missing out on! So, we hired a big Hollywood star (we kind of had to to get some money in the budget!), Brad Bucks was ours! And by signing him, we got a budget of $10 million, too bad $8 million of that went to Brad. So going in the hole was inevitable, but we were okay with it, because we knew it was going to be a hit! Yes, our production levels were taken down, now the entire filming process would be in San Francisco and our hero wouldn't be as muscular as we had hoped, but he would be good looking, bringing in the ladies to our action indy film.
All in all, the day was rather frustrating and felt like the Millenium Force at Cedar Point. But, we came out satisfied with what we had accomplished. It was a good learning experience, and reaffirmed the fact that we will not end up in Hollywood after our time at Malone. And true, the studios didn't really like our idea, but one day, they'll be sorry when they see Brad Bucks beating up some Chinese people in Chinatown in our Blockbuster hit, "ATTACK!"
