'Defenders'

[Cerb]

Mountjoy awakes from a coctail induced slumber...
"Wassat? Dinner... oh cameras explosion" he blinks rapidly, "matter of fact I have a rather lovely rig I bought from... well never mind... It's a tank and I sort of have the camera mounted in the barrel. Should survive most explosions".

He grins cheerily "Fits in nicely into the battle scenes to and... well it doesn't hurt for crowd and set control either".

[HEU 1]

"Mountjoy, you're...slightly frightening actually. But that's great. Everyone, get on the plane, we are leaving!" Tobias then started handing out tickets to a country no one had heard of before, while assuring them that it would be great.

[Cerb]

Mountjoy frowns slightly. "hum I'm not a big fan of planes, but I sort of borrowed... hum acquired... a military hovercraft which I was going to use during the beach landings, great floating platform you see, very steady".

He grins cheerily, "It's also rather usefull for transporting the camera tank..anyone else need a ride? It's got lots more room for supplies".

[Kannex]

Due to funding issues, Kannex is forced to pull out of the movie project. The Kannexian staff involved with the making of the film will depart and take all their equipment with them. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause for the project.

[Mal]

A tall white man in his 60s walks onto the set wearing a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, a very large belt buckle, and long suede blazer. He is slightly out of shape and his stomach pushes dwon the front of his jeans, which are just a shade to small.

He gets Tobias' attention and says, "In all my years in 'the biz', I've never seen a film succeed unless it had the proper hype. What you REALLY need is a publicist before the tabloids start portraying this artistic endeavor as a side show."

[Revkyyysh]

"What do you have in mind?" Alameda asks.

[Mal]

Simple: What's the first thing people ask about a movie: Who's in it?

We need to get our star's power elevated. Tell me a little about him and I'll release a story that will make him look bigger than Brando! Cooler than Connery! We also need some publicity shots of him with one of the industry's sexiest female performers. Gail O'Grady comes to mind.

[Cerb]

"Hmmmmmm..." murmers Mountjoy with appreciation. "Gail O'Grady has some great angles.".

[Takaram]

"Yeah, but can she actually do anything, or am I going to have to train twenty stunt doubles? Remember people, this is a war flick!"

[Revkyyysh]

"Lets hope so" Thomas remarks.

[Mal]

As Ms. O'Grady's publicist, I can tell you that she has everything you want in an action star:

She can do any accent; she can make her male co-star look invincible; and she's in GREAT shape so she can do many of her stunts herself.

Not to mention, she hasn't had a really good gig since NYPD Blue, so she'll probably work cheap! Plus, I challenge you to find another woman her age with all of that to offer who will work for less than a star salary!

It's a win-win!

[Takaram]

"But isn't she almost 50? We'd be looking for people more in their 20s or 30s for this."

[Mal]

Then we can cast her in a supporting role! Maybe as a government official or a family member of the hero. When you're doing a big budget action flick, you have to have performers who are ridiculously good looking! Are we hopeful that we are going to find some one this hot in her late 40s?

And I promise you that her compulsive gambling and recent bankruptcy problems won't be an issue!

[Cerb]

"Between makeup and lighting we can make her any age we want", chips in Mountjoy. "Besides, Generals and senior officers aren't 18 year old beach bunnies, surely we can find something more suited for... glamour".

[Takaram]

"Whatever. Hell, if she's an officer, I probably won't need to train her anyway."

[Mal]

Great!!! I'll call her agent! Now, I need a quick bio on the star so I can write the proper press release! Let's leave out anything questionable (divorce, etc...) and focus on his charitable work, etc...
