Ugh.
So.
Apparently Dreamworks is looking to pick up some movie rights...
http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/15309.html So I decided to write the trailer for them. It's not that hard.
[over black screen, show text that the announcer is about to say in a really cool font.]
Announcer - See a world no one else can see...
[cue child walking through an empty house, then fade to black and show text again.]
A - A world of magic and terror...
[cue child finding a box, hint at special effects as he opens it, fade to black one more with more text.]
A - See through the eyes of... the View-Master!
[cue child picking up a View-Master. Pan camera to make it appear that the audience is the one looking through. Crescendo music and spam the audience with gratuitous CGI 3D special effects, giving away nothing of the plot or even concept of the movie.]
A - [over the CGI extravaganza] Next summer, journey through a world of enchantment and adventure. Journey through the world of... The View-Master!
[cue old man in CGI addressing a CGI version of the child, get a famous celebrity to do the voice, Ian McKellan if we can swing it...]
Old Man - Steven, you *are* the View-Master!
[immediately cut to splash page with Summer 2010, hold then show page with director and cast info and rating.]
See? Maybe I should work for Hollywood?
