the story begins with an intro in sky, with cuts to children looking into the cold night all over earth and time. spoken words are not needed. on a long winter night 9,000 years ago in north europe animals from the forests enter the snow covered villages to dance and sing to the villagers beckoning them to either let them in to eat and be warm. but the people stay inside and watch, so the littlest animals crawl into the huts, then turn into tiny men running amok eating and drinking the food.

[ChtotoChtoto]

only children can see them when they are little men so the mothers scream to see the food moving around and plead that the children catch the little gnomes. when they do the gnomes turn back into animals and scurry out the smoke holes. this continues late into the night until the arrival of the snow queen with antlers who travels as a flying reindeer to villages to alleviate the insanity. she is fed raw butter and continues on her way. want to know what happens next?

i spent a year researching christmas origins. i feel i might be a good resource in creating a literally fantastic movie about santa clause steeped in accurate mythologies and folk tales. it would be comparable to "santa claus: the movie" (1985) only better. i also have experience in art direction. but christmas is only two weeks away...

[IrishZombie89]

this will be a year long project dude ;)

[IrishZombie89]

our movie has gotta have a warm hearted chrismassy feel to it, or just a badass action thriller with bruce willis, or a movie like 300, with just 300 bruce willis's in santa costumes invading iraq. and mr freeze froze and made snow appear everywhere in iraq, confusing the terrorists. the heart warming part (pun unintended) will be sweaty vest bruce willis santa's family is kidnaped by terrorists, and thats why they are there. snw? sub plot.

[farfnugen]

At first, they are very excited about christmas, after all, it is the hap-happiest season of all! But then, they learn we partake in the consumption of candy canes. Thinking these are members of thier species, they declare war on the human species. A massive battle breaks out on planet earth between humans and kringles, and it is up to santa to find a peaceful resolution and save christmas!

[farfnugen]

A new intelligent race has evolved on planet earth. They are called Kringles, and remarkably resemble candy-cane puppets with googley eyes. These little creatures quickly learn how to communicate with humans, and are very interested in learning our ways. (hopefully you see where Im going with this). They learn a lot about human life, and things are going well, until winter, when it's time to learn the ways of christmas...

[SordidSenses]

a christmas movie based around a person who moves from a state filled with snow to a new state such as texas, florida, new mexico who has to deal with christmas in a tropical climate for the first time

[Projected06]

Lawrence Camps, is a man so obsessed with ruining everything he sees, that he even attempts to sabotage his own friends project, TWICE. Soon his friends Leon Ariotski and Freddy Kane have no other choice then to slowly beat Mr. Camps to death with bags of tomatoes, cherries, and truffles. At some point, Lawrence nearly escapes, but in an attempt to be a dick even though he's running for his life, he turns back to make a sarcastic comment, only to take a tomato to the face, and burns to death.

[farfnugen]

needs work. not Christmas-y enough.

[Projected06]

Then Leon and Freddy used the head of Lawrence, to ornament their Xmas tree. A great celebration had ignited, and everyone whomever hated Lawrence came. Even his own brothers Benny and Dion Camps attended the party. Freddy handed out gifts to all the party-goers, each gift holding another trophy of the once hated individual. A great pyre was born, and everyone had at last, a chance to burn the man who had burned them for so long. The night sky smelled of roast Lawrence, and everyone rejoiced.

[Projected06]

Merry Christmas, to all but Lawrence, was chanted by all, and at last, for the first time in millenia, it WAS a Merry Christmas

[TheGreatGallbo]

Goodness I am in.. count mee in.

I was just watching the Santa Clause today and was reminded of the fact that if there is another shitty sequal made in the Santa Clause franchise... I will go ape shit.

Count me in... whatever is needed... I will be willing to do.. but I do have an ear for music...

I wonder who made that awesome theme song... ho hoo hooooooooo

[IrishZombie89]

brilliant brian, that was totally original, i'm liking that idea alot, lets do this shit!!!

[brianrake]

Glad to have you aboard my Irish friend! Check back this Sunday night for episode 2!

[farfnugen]

Our main character, Freddy Kane, gets so involved with his video games that he no longer leaves his room. He gets lost in the virtual world of fps's and mmorpg's that he misses his birthday, halloween, and even christmas in the real world!  Slowly, Freddy begins to confuse the virtual world and the real world. He starts an online revolution and becomes king of World of Warcraft; a horrible tyrant feared by all. Then, in the end, his mother opens his door and gives him his gift: A skateboard!

[farfnugen]

come to think of it, that's more of a subplot than an entire movie

[brianrake]

That's more like it Mr. Campo.

[JustAn0th3rFace]

Time to put the Christ back in Christmas. Or something.

[brianrake]

Best idea... ever.

[Projected06]

I got an idea.

X years after the end of world war 3, inhabitants of Iceland, the only place unaffected by the fallout of the war decide to branch out and look for other survivors. When they finally build a ship and find America, they find no survivors, but remnants of a time they never understood. In an attempt to recreate Xmas using their scarce knowledge, they all interpret it differently, leading to a war between the survivors. Can the true meaning of Xmas save the last piece of humanity?

[brianrake]

hahahaha, perfect Mr. Project; those Icelandians never did understand our culture....

[SordidSenses]

largest terrorist attack in american history happens christmas morning...

sorry

[brianrake]

this is the last thing you should be apologizing for Sordid.... I'm so proud of you!

[SordidSenses]

a childrens espionage film about an elaborate plot that two siblings concoct in order to determine if santa claus is real on christmas eve

a film about an older man resigned to spend christmas by himself in his run down apartment..other tenants of the complex constantly try to get him involved and make him feel a little less lonely..yet everyone alienates him further without realizing what they have done

[brianrake]

very interesting; the latter could make for one of the darkest Christmas films in history.

[SordidSenses]

a film about a corporate chain stores employees that have to band together and create an authentic christmas atmosphere with multiple conflicting ideas in where to take the direction.. that culminates in a giant christmas sale with different departments with individual decoration themes competing for the largest sales record..competing employees and questioning customers are constantly alienated by employee's selfish personal motivations

[brianrake]

Gorgeous! I love it. Much potential here.

[farfnugen]

I'm Farfnugen. I'd like to pitch really awesome ideas for characters and scenes.  HOHOHO

[brianrake]

well then prove it lil ol' Farfnugen, let us hear these ideas bouncing around your pretty mind!

[farfnugen]

oh i didn't think it was time for ideas yet... u said just to say ur name and that u're in and what you wanna do.

[brianrake]

it's never too early for suggestions!

[farfnugen]

OK, here's the scene: there's this mall santa in the movie, and he's really too sick to be working. And this little girl is telling hime what she wants for christmas, when he starts throwing up all over her. She cries, her mother screams and starts hitting the mall santa, and his beard falls off and all the kids start screaming and crying.

[brianrake]

Bad Santa

[freelunchfilms]

I'm in. I want to be a best boy electric. Note: NOT Gaffer. No, but serious, let's do this thing!

[brianrake]

Always glad to introduce a new best boy to the project. Glad to have you aboard my good friend!

[TKnight8]

I'll help write for sure.

Ideas already occuring to me:

An action Christmas movie like Die Hard.

A simple Christmas movie that could be shot on a college campus, about a kid that doesn't go home for Christmas (it would be like a somber comedy).

And Jingle All The Way Again.

[brianrake]

Die Hard... a fantastic structure for any Christmas movie to come. We must investigate this idea further.
