Earth 3K in a state of limbo

So the Earth 3K series has joined the rest of the 'started by not finished' franchises I've made. I've not yet even pitched a third film idea. I guess when I started the series, I had X-Men on the brain, and it was even more present in the second film. I'm think whether or not to let it fade away as my other failed franchises(L.A. Wolf) or continue it no matter what the box office or critical reception is. I know I shouldn't base films on box-office or reception and the series does make decent amount of money; but I would rather have a respectable series than one that just makes money. Perhaps a film series of the entire universe is just too small, maybe I'll post write-ups of storylines involving certain characters, somewhat of a refurbishment of the series in this blog. For a refurbishing, you'd have to forget everything you know of Earth 3K the film series and take the newest one for what it is.

Metroid and Mega Man might very well be my final game-based films. We'll see how they do when they get released.

As for musical biopics, in after-thought reference to the 5 questions for Graceland about what my future musical biopics would be: As of right now, I am done with musical biopics. I'll leave that up to people who can do more creative things with the musical biopics.

To be pitched soon:

I'm trying to get it all together to be an awesome movie and make it more than just a '17 again meets Freaky Friday' but I'd like to pitch a peculiar time-manipulation movie that I hope is more Benjamin Button has a threesome with Time Traveler's Wife and Back to the Future and then calls Amazing Adventure of Kalavier and Clay afterward.

A movie where a character happens to switch places with his past self. His past self must adapt to what's going on in his life in the future while his current-present self gets a chance for a do-over. It's a mindfuck I know. Hopefully there might be someone who could help me right it or at least throw some ideas of what can happen in the film. If anyone is interested, let me know. I will give you credit as co-writer, even if you just throw me ideas. I'll post this notice on the board as well.

Tom Gordon Trailer

The green MPAA trailer is shown.

A woman, Amy Ryan(Quilla) is walking down a nature trail with a teenage boy, Pete and a little girl, Trisha(Elle Fanning)

Quilla: Making friends is a job Peter..
Pete: (scoffs) You don't get it...

Trisha kicks a pinecone, her brother and mother obviously not thinking about her.

Trisha: Mom, I need to..

Quilla: Not right now, Trisha.

Trisha stops at a split path while Quilla and Pete carry on with their argument, Pete's voice saying, "I don't get why we have to pay for what you and dad did wrong.."

Trisha wanders up the split path, but ends up falling down a steep hill. When she hits the bottom, she is dirty and cut up. She looks scared..

Trisha: Mo-om?!

Voice Over of a news reporter: It's been three days since 10 year old Trisha MacFarland was last scene on a nature trail with her mother and brother. Search parties report no sign of her..

*Brief shots of Trisha walking deeper into the woods, huddled into herself, the scene with the snake slithering around her..*

*There is a scene with her putting on the headphones of her walkman*

Trisha(voice over in thought): If we win, if Tom gets the save, I'll be saved..

*the sports announcer is calling the play: Tom winds up..*

Trisha pretends she is pitching a ball.

There is a scene of Quilla in a police officer's face:
Quilla: WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO FIND MY DAUGHTER?!

Trisha is in the woods screaming and swatting at bugs in the air.

Title of movie is shown: THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON along with crickets chirping.

the final scene shows Trisha face to face with a giant bear-like creature, but it isn't a bear, it's Trisha's hallucination of the 'God of the Lost'

screen goes black

You will notice a few strange age discrepancies with a few of our upcoming releases. If you've seen Elle Fanning recently, she looks like she couldn't really pass for a nine year old anymore. We changed the age slightly to make Trisha just a little older, not so much older, but old enough to make Elle at the believable age. We didn't want to make Trisha too much older though, since most of the tension in the film stems from her being a very young child put in a bad situation. She is about 10-11 in the film.

As for Fictitious Images, Chloe Moretz is 13 and has gone through a lot of aging since the film was originally pitched and filmed. Her character is originally supposed to be between the age of 8-10. Many of her scenes were filmed when she was 11 in 2008 and could still easily pass as a 9-10 year old.

Also, a fun fact relating to The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon: In late March/Early April, there was a big news story about a slightly autistic girl who got lost in the woods in Orlando this year. Her name was Nadia Bloom and the idiot reporters kept referring to an American Girl book about one of the characters going out in the woods to explore nature. I found the story to be more related to The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.
