This competition is inspired by my favourite line in 'Eats shoots
and leaves' (with or without commas).
Lynn Truss demonstrates the colon with, 'Gandhi II: the Mahatma
strikes back.'
What I want is a proposal for a film sequel in no more than 200
words. But the winner may be forced to sit through an
excruciating sequel with no popcorn.

Todd Martin Mystery shopper 2 - fully loaded.
Spare a thought for those poor rich souls who don't know what
they want - but they want it NOW!
Todd's back in town with a limitless mystery shopper Mondo card
and he's ready to shake up the shopping experience.
Your wildest whim is Todd's command; one customer wants a rocket
ship, another wants a planet!
Keeping up with the super rich's super-egos can be tough but
Todd's so stupid he can bear it. Single handedly Todd soon brings
the mystery shopping global giant OMG! to its knees, wins the
Nigerian lottery (without buying a ticket) and has a tricky time
explaining to love interest Nikki his lifetime supply of 'herbal'
Viagra.
Expanding on the theme 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing,'
you'll laugh, you'll cry and you will avert your eyes in alarm as
Todd's misdirected mayhem keeps you mesmerised.
Todd Martin Mystery shopper 2 - fully loaded is a credit crisis
caper that's unbelievably credible in this click through
corporate consumer age.
Featuring: Keanu Reeves as Todd Martin with Angelina Jolie as
Nikki

PANTS ENCOUNTER
Nearly seventy years after David Lean’s masterpiece, Pants
Encounter is a dark romantic comedy.
Laura, the great-granddaughter of Brief Encounter’s
Laura, is a bored Home Counties SAH mum. Married to the boorish
Rick, a Sudoku-obsessed BNP member, Laura’s only excitement is a
weekly escape to her aerobics class in Milford.
Travelling home one Wednesday, Laura has a contact lens drama on
the railway platform. Ali, a hunky young eye surgeon, steps in to
help and the two go for a coffee in the station Starbucks.
Handsome, educated and principled, Ali is the opposite of Rick.
Laura feels drawn to him. Feelings are reciprocated and the two
agree to meet again. But this meeting and subsequent others are
sabotaged by a train strike, leaves on the line and the wrong
sort of snow.
Meanwhile, the blossoming romance between Sanjay and Tomasz, two
cheeky baristas, adds comic relief.
Unfortunately, Laura’s affair is made public by Dolly, the
self-appointed Twitter Queen of Milford.
Terrified of Rick’s reaction, Laura vows to throw herself under
the 17:18. But even this is thwarted. Ali is really the leader of
a terrorist ring and a bombing results in indefinite suspension
of all services.

Crouching Canine, Foxy Feline
This gritty, hard hitting sequel updates the adventure to modern
Hollywood. Action hero Arnold S. Van Damn stars in this feast of
furiously paced action. Pale Chinese symbolism of imminent danger
represented by crouching tigers is swept away when ex-marine
Lance Lethal (Van Damn) discovers his family massacred, his house
aflame, and a dog dumping on his front lawn. Lance’s own brand of
justice sees a rocket launcher ends the dog’s dumping days for
good.
The action accelerates when Lance learns his family were
collateral damage in a failed attempt to kill Dog Control
Officer, Susan Slinky (Charlize Knightly). Lance rescues Slinky
by kidnapping her in her own dog van and escapes in a hail of
bullets and multiple deaths among innocent bystanders.
Lance and Slinky, a recovering alcoholic, shell-shocked ex-SEAL
and cat lover, work to defeat the corrupt police commissioner,
thwart his foul design for every dog in the city mess on random
front lawns and extort millions from distraught homeowners, and
blow up the half of the city without lawns in the process.
An enormous promotional budget, explosions and, depending on what
the censors will let slip, sex will ensure this film’s commercial
success.

A sequel to 'The Edge of Reason'. An achingly funny comedy of
social inadequacy, misunderstood flirtation and dodgy underpants,
among a close circle of friends who have matured less than
gracefully.
Working title: ' Bridge at Joan's'

In a sub-category of the competition, I think that Arnold S. Van
Damn will be be hard to beat for best Actor. (And could decimate
the opposition should any appear.) Rumour has it that he's offered
to take office as governor of that island with the the cute Union
Jack.

American
Cycle
The 80's are over and Patrick Bateman is
getting fed-up with life on Wall Street. Cocaine, business cards
and high class hookers have lost their appeal, so our anti-hero
Patrick decides a change of scenery is needed.
He heads to England, where he discovers ecstasy, football
hooligans and Britpop. Everything is going swimmingly until a
dodgy pill leaves him pondering the futility of it all. In a
panic, he steals a BMX and makes for the newly opened Channl
Tunnel.
He decides to try and get his old life back, but armed with just
a fishing hat and a stolen bike, he has to try and make his way
back to the US of A.
Christian Bale returns as Patrick Bateman, with a supporting cast
including Justin Bieber, Russel Brand and Lady Gaga. Original
Soundtrack by The Stone Roses.

THE VON TRAPPS GO TO HOLLYWOOD –
long-awaited sequel to The Sound of Music.
The Von Trapps escape over the Alps
to Switzerland, where they sit out the war with Max securing them
gigs on the strength of ‘The Lonely Goatherd’ yodelling song.
After hostilities cease, they’re called to Germany to entertain
American troops in Berlin, where Edelweiss is remembered fondly
by Austriophiles among the peace-loving Germans.
A GI from Los Angeles gets his
record-producing ‘old man’ back in the States to sign them up and
they move to Hollywood, where the lifestyle takes its toll on
Captain Von Trapp who succumbs to booze and then drugs. Maria
divorces him and marries a film producer called Blake, who puts
her in his films and eventually persuades her to appear topless
in one. The Captain sees this film and the shock pushes him over
the edge. Dying from an overdose he sings with slurred speech,
‘So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodnight.’
Maria is devastated.
Conscience-stricken, she leaves Blake and returns to the Austrian
convent, knowing her children are all safe with parts in Beverley
Hills 90210. The film ends with the Mother Superior singing, ‘How
Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?’

WELL, FOLKS... IT"S CLOUD OSCARS NIGHT.
Some great titles could attract a concept-planning meeting.
'Shaving...' in particular could begin a whole new genre.
However, I needed a film proposal. My favoured concept would be
'American Cycles,' but I'm afraid it's just too edgy and
unexpected to draw a big-bucks backer, Caoimh. See you at
Sundance next year?
My winner, then, for its shear inevitability – the sense that I
will have to sit through this sequel in the very near future –
is CROUCHING CANINE, FOXY FELINE. I call on Arnold S Van Damn
to collect the complimentary popcorn (no, I didn't mean the
girl, Arnold). But would someone please disarm him before he
enters the building. Congratulations, Malcolm – I hand the
Clouder's Choice competition on to you.
And can I make a final plea, Malcolm. Engage Stephenterry
as your director. He shows promise.
