I've done this on other discussion forums before... it's always a time killer on a lot of the imdb.com boards... and there used to be a website dedicated to it, at one point, but I can't find it anymore.
I'm sure some of you have probably done it before as well. Dreamcasting!
The basic idea is:
Someone picks a subject that could be made into a film and everyone comes up with a "dream cast". The subject can be pretty much anything, but for the sake of timing and fun, it should be something with an established character base and story, such as a book, a comic book, video game, or an existing film (the challenge or lack of is to come up with a better cast than the original in that situation). You can even go further and pick a producer, director, original score composer, dolly grip and ADR editor if you want to, but the focus is the cast.
I think it would be great to do this on this forum. Like I said, most recently I've done it on imdb.com but the problem there is you get other posters getting angry about it (i.e. THAT SUCKS GO DIE IN A FIRE!!!111!!eleventy). I figure we could do this in a more civil and friendly manner here. Something like the Ultimization game where everyone gets to vote on the winner week by week, and the winner picks the next subject.
Anyone else up for this? If you'd like an example, I have a few I can dig up and post here.
