I resisted as much as I could, but in the end I couldn't keep away from that
movie shuffle meme that's been making its way around Tumblr. The premise is simple: leave up to four actors in my askbox and I will turn my iTunes on shuffle and create a movie poster and a synopsis of the imaginary film, based on whatever song comes up first. This has turned out to be more fun than I could have possibly imagined.
antiquitea gave me Michael Sheen, Hugh Laurie, and Billie Piper.
Title: "Shoot to Thrill"
Song:
"Shoot to Thrill" - AC/DCGenre: Dark comedy
Starring: Hugh Laurie, Billie Piper, Michael Sheen
Synopsis: Henry Weston (Laurie) is an aging MI-6 assassin with a problem: he hasn’t had a successful hit in six months. When his boss brings in youthful gunslinging hitman Gary Colorado (Sheen) to rejuvenate the program, a contentious rivalry develops between the two droppers. And when both men fall for the wife of their next target (Piper) the mission turns into more than murder.
Random tidbit: The name of the production company, Three Barrels Productions, is actually the name of the company I'd start if I ever actually got into filmmaking. It comes from Jaws (my favourite movie), and the scene where Quint shoots a third buoyancy barrel into the shark and says, "He can't stay down with three barrels on 'im, not with three he can't."
I want to do more of these. If you'd like, leave up to four actors in the comments and I'll give 'em the same treatment.
