Movie Idea: Crimson Harvest

[Andrew]

I want to make a movie in the same vein as those seal clubbing documentaries.  It will feature hairy, uneducated, overweight men with cruel-looking clubs converging on a pristine white beach, and clubbing mermaids to death.  Running time:  206 minutes.

(We're allowed to find this disturbing, right?  Because even though I know I must be missing something somewhere...this scares the living spit outta me!)

Running time:  206 minutes.

Recommendtaion:  Theatrical running time: 102 minutes.  Director's cut DVD: 206 minutes.

You gotta have the mermaid bit when it gets clubbed looking like shredded up cooked salmon!

On the one hand I have to say that once again you've managed to make wonder about your thought processes, on the other hand a film like this, if properly done, could turn a handy profit so if you need investors call me.

I will be your DP, Andrew ~ but the running time is a little short.

It was squarely intended as black humor.  Seeing beautiful mermaids being clubbed to death couldn't be anything less.  Of course, the idea was that the mermaid killers have perfectly legitimate reasons for what they do, and that our society somehow needed something from the slaughter.

That's always the trick.  Done right, a weird idea is a cult masterpiece.  Done wrong, it's just tripe - or even worse, annoying tripe.

Are there any nice, white sand beaches in your neck of the woods?

Recommendtaion:  Theatrical running time: 102 minutes.  Director's cut DVD: 206 minutes.

Ha!  Your suggestion is more practical than the idea merits.

Once you get the script written contact Trey Parker and Matt Stone... they could even make a Musical out of this :)
