Chronicles THE MOVIE

[GrownUp]

needs a cast list. And a plot, but first things first.

E.g. Boneman, the tortured and violent hero. Christian Bale or Alan Rickman?

Hmmm, Christian Bale I think. He can do thin.

[Interference]

Alan Rickman. Same voice

[The Ace]

Grownup - anyone publicity shy.

Oh and Freda wants to play herself.

Where are you going to find an actor who's publicity shy?

Does that mean I'm not going to be in the movie?

[The Judge]

Whoa. I can see this getting very sticky very quickly if we're choosing actors for fellow Chronites!

Has Freda got an equity card, Ace? If not, there might be trouble ahead with the unions.

[GrownUp]

I've lost interest anyway, now I'm not going to be in the movie.

I was holding out for Christina Ricci, Michelle Yeoh, or at a pinch that chap who used to be McGyver.

[The Judge]

Why don't you be radical, and have all three playing you in different parts of the film?

Anyway, I'm appropriating Kristin Scott Thomas. Beautifully spoken, intelligent, elegant... yep, that's me *cough, cough*

[Ursa major]

You missed out a blindingly obvious one, TJ: not afraid of the scales.



(Although you do seem to keep them at arm's length.... )

[The Judge]

And who is to play the cute, cuddly one, Ursa? Ricky Gervais?

[GrownUp]

Always thought Ursa had a distinctly Stephen Fry wry half-smile.

[Ursa major]

Ricky can play Thread Bear, who's cute - Ricky will have to learn to act for this - and cuddly (and psychotic in a dangerous sort of way).



<--- Thread Bear




I'm more of a giant (6m) cyborg polar-bear-look-alike, so will require CGI (and a voice-over).

[The Ace]

Freda'll have to be the same, she just wants to stand in when interacting with other characters.

Well, we can't have Tangle floating in thin air.

How about a young BB for grownup ? The reclusive bit'd fit then.

I'm glad we've got that sorted. I should hate him to be psychotic in a benevolent sort of way. (Presumably that would consist of accosting strangers in the street and threatening to hurt them unless they accept his wallet?)

And the voice-over is by Barbara Windsor?

As for the plot of the movie, whatever happened to The Maltese Blanket?

Maltese Blanket
*growly voice-over* This summer's blockbuster motion picture event. The most genuinely terrifying object ever created.

He could be deluded by way of thinking everyone loves him. (A look in the mirror is hardly going to disuade him, is it?) But he's not deluded in that way.

Its owners were fleeced, as I recall.
