 146. CS | Melanie Laurent |  |
 147. Nicholas R. | "Now for my child of the draft!!! For this movie I require achild with dramatic acting chops, and that honour goes to none other than... Max Records!" |  |
 148. Clara | "Martin Scorcese for director" |  |
 149. Nick | "I need somebody who can play a woman you just hate, but in the way that is realistic and because it was acted brilliantly. I don’t mean to typecast this poor woman, but she does what I need so very well… and that’s Marcia Gay Harden." |  |
 150. Travis | Summer Glau |  |
 151. Red | Shirley McLaine |  |
 152. Andrew Kendall | "I had wanted an exotic probably European, preferably Spanish actress but alas Penelope was snatched from my grasp, as was Salma. I said, hey, French is fine – but Marion went to too. What to do, what to do….I decided I’d come to South America and take a chance on Sofia Vergara. She has a whole lot of obvious passion, which I need for the role…it’s not quite comic relief but (though it does have bits of humour) and I think that, given the right script, she could deliver with more than just incidental humour." |  |
 153. Michael | Jason Segel |  |
 154. Castor | "With the 154th pick, I select Tom Hardy. He broke out with Inception, and he will establish himself as the most wasted talent ever in my Troll 2 remake." |  |
 155. Novroz | Cast Completed | |
 156. Richard | "My sixth pick is Johnny Depp. I need someone who can do charming and creepy at the same time. Besides myself, of course." |  |
 157. Sebastian | "If it pleases the court, for my sixth pick, I will take Tom Wilkinson. I need someone who can play a conflicted, quite possibly corrupt head of a corporation, and Wilkinson certainly fits that bill." |  |
 158. Anna | "My final actor is Lee Remick. She really impressed me with her work in Days of Wine and Roses and Anatomy of a Murder. Though much like Ritter and Cobb, her role will be small but notable." |  |
 159. Amy W. | Skipped - Pick ASAP | |
 160. Ruth | "I select Alan Rickman for my 6th pick. If you think he'd be playing a villain, think again. The seasoned Brit is more than a one trick pony. He'd be playing Charlize's estranged father." |  |
 161. Joel | "Director Michael Mann: He might not be the only director brought in for this projects, negotiations have started for a possible co-director partner. The only clause/Obligation for Mann on the film is that he makes is as Insideresque as possible!!!" |  |
 162. Scarlett_Sp1der | "Team ScarletSp1der welcomes Djimon Hounsou to the team in this Round! - able to be cutthroat, but humane in a role. An oxymoron possibly and character of intrique and mystery. Welcome Djimon Hounsou!" |  |
 163. Lacie | Jude Law |  |
 164. Andy | "Gael García Bernal - A versatile and talented actor, I have two parts in mind for him." |  |
 165. Marya | "I'm gonna go with Jackie Earle Haley for a supporting role. I'm sure he'll be great as a middle of nowhere, small-town Boo Radley type." |  |
 166. Robert | Mary-Louise Parker |  |
 167. Marc | Kurt Russell |  |
 168. Candice | "Chiwetel Ejiofor. I need his versatility" |  |
 169. Andrew R | "For my next pick I’ll take Ian McKellen… he’ll fit well into my story" |  |
 170. Rob Carraher | "With my 6th round pick, I select Mia Wasikowska. She is one of the budding stars of the film world today. I think she is captivating. I am thrilled that I can make her a part of my cast." |  |
 171. John Parker | Julianne Moore |  |
 172. Rich | "Ossie Davis. I've always liked him and I need someone who can do a Southern gentleman." |  |
 173. Movie Guy Steve | "I need someone to play an old professorial type. This character will also act as the narrator of the film. Originally, I wanted Morgan Freeman, but I realized that there are a number of people who could fill this role. Freeman would have been great at it. So would Ian McKellen, but both have been picked. James Earl Jones would kill this role. So would Christopher Lee or Patrick Stewart. However, none of them are going to do this role, because John Hurt is. John Hurt can do anything, including narrating a romance with supernatural elements. In fact, thanks to Hellboy, he’s actually been a professor in a movie with the supernatural." |  |
 174. Ripley | Donald Glover |  |

CS selects Ben Mendelsohn and Melanie Laurent with the 145th and 146th pick respectively
Oh! Melanie Laurent is such a good choice! She’s so great.
By the way Castor, I’m back! Thanks for taking care of my picks earlier
Great to have you back!
I know the last three rounds go differently, but I’m offering a trade for those rounds now that we are getting close to them. I need only two picks in rounds 8-10. If someone needs an extra person, I will give up my rounds 9 and 10 for an additional round 8 pick.
Now for my child of the draft!!! For this movie I require achild with dramatic acting chops, and that honour goes to none other than… Max Records!
Clara selects Martin Scorcese as her director
I need a director who can convey deep and almost violent emotions on screen.
I need somebody who can play a woman you just hate, but in the way that is realistic and because it was acted brilliantly. I don’t mean to typecast this poor woman, but she does what I need so very well… and that’s Marcia Gay Harden.
Summer Glau
I love her so. Except this show The Cape looks like shit.
Shirley MacLaine
Castor, did you get my email?
Yes, I did.
I had wanted an exotic probably European, preferably Spanish actress but alas Penelope was snatched from my grasp, as was Salma. I said, hey, French is fine – but Marion went to too. What to do, what to do….I decided I’d come to South America and take a chance on Sofia Vergara. She has a whole lot of obvious passion, which I need for the role…it’s not quite comic relief but (though it does have bits of humour) and I think that, given the right script, she could deliver with more than just incidental humour.
Not Audrey Tautou?
Audrey seems so sweet and sheltered…I mean, she IS an actress but I couldn’t see her in this part.
I think you just went for the boobs. Believe me, that’s not a judgment.
Well, actually the boobs will be an important part of the role.
(Seriously.)
I should be given a time extension. I was trying to make a decision on who to pick but I was instead staring at the picture
If you were looking at the boobs, I’m guessing there was some sort of extension involved…
If you are making a comedy, she is HILARIOUS on Modern Family.
Decisions decisions…
With the 154th pick, I select Tom Hardy. He broke out with Inception, and he will establish himself as the most wasted talent ever in my Troll 2 remake.
Troll 2… starring everyone from Inception (except Ellen Page). Tell me, who is gonna be the sad soul who gets to go “He’s eating her! And then they’re going to eat me? Oh my Goooooodddddd…”?
Now I can’t reveal too much but there is a reason I made all these trades!! Obviously no one in his right mind would want to be in a Troll 2 remake so I had to confuse the actors on what the movie was going to be about! Shhhh
Great pick, Castor! Who doesn’t love Tom Hardy!
I second that Ruth
Per the fifth round post of Novroz…
“For my 5th and my last pick, I choose Simon Pegg to accompany Edgar Wright as scriptwriter. The combination of those two in writing script is awesomely funny. He will also appear as Cameo. Castor, I have picked 3 actors and Pegg is not going to be an actor in my movie…I hope it’s okay to pick him. I have no interest with female for my pitch ”
That being the case, I suggest we move on.
On the subject, I think it a bit unfair to allow someone to break one of the rules (needing to have 3 guys and 3 girls), as well as choosing someone they’re not even going to use.
Hinky it may be…I’m just hoping to get a last pick in tonight, and if this moves us forward faster…
I know what you mean. I think I’m finally going to reveal my director in the next round!
Me too. I was thinking of taking a director this round, but I know that Ripley has a director already. That being the case, I can safely wait until the seventh for my director…provided that director is still available when I get to my next pick.
I’m giving her a little leeway since she has a very small cast and basically is making a two-character movie.
Thank you for giving me a slack Castor
I did say,i will let him go if anyone want him for his/her movie
I’m using him as a scriptwriter nick
I think Richard’s time is up, so I’m gonna make my pick.
If it pleases the court, for my sixth pick, I will take Tom Wilkinson. I need someone who can play a conflicted, quite possibly corrupt head of a corporation, and Wilkinson certainly fits that bill.
My final actor is Lee Remick. She really impressed me with her work in Days of Wine and Roses and Anatomy of a Murder. Though much like Ritter and Cobb, her role will be small but notable.
I’m so glad you chose her! I love her so much.
I select Alan Rickman for my 6th pick
If you think he’d be playing a villain, think again. The seasoned Brit is more than a one trick pony. He’d be playing Charlize’s estranged father.
Alan Rickman is always awesome.
He’d be playing Charlize’s estranged father… who is the villain of the movie.
Alan Rickman is a solid choice! Always great to see, but again, I am very curious to see what you’re piecing together!
Alan is an awesome villain.
your movie sounds interesting even before it is written, ruth
Thanks Nov! Hey, I like your idea of reuniting Wright with Pegg again.
Won Bon, because he was amazing in Mother, and Robert recommended him.
For the 7th round, I mean.
Shit, Won Bin.
Those crazy big links don’t work Ripley!!! Click on the pictures first before getting the link
Oh, well…I guess mark him up for round 8 then.
so close and yet so far away. I feel like I’ve been waiting for hours and hours. haha.
i’m here. I’ll be ready once my time has arrived!
Based on the time stamp of the last pick, Joel is a couple of minutes over.
I will wait until it officially says its my turn. No biggie. just a few mins no doubt.
or another 15 minutes will pass…
He’s a good half hour plus overtime now.
I was asleep bozo =)
Feel free to make your picks once time has elapsed.
Team ScarletSp1der welcomes Djimon Hounsou to the team in this Round! – able to be cutthroat, but humane in a role. An oxymoron possibly and character of intrique and mystery. Welcome Djimon Hounsou!
Ah great pick. I was giving strong consideration the last couple rounds but I thought he would last.
looove him. have loved him ever since Amistad. my god that was a wonderful performance
agreed!
Amistad was such a powerful and moving performance. I have been a fan of his ever since! Gladiator, Blood Diamond, etc! Excited to have him for this pick!
I think it’s safe to say there won’t be another round until morning… so I shall bid y’all adieu for the evening!
Have a good evening sir
Gael García Bernal – A versatile and talented actor, I have two parts in mind for him.
Lacie picks jude law
yay! My pick is still free. I’m gonna go with Jackie Earle Haley for a supporting role. I’m sure he’ll be great as a middle of nowhere, small-town Boo Radley type.
maybe this will work:
Castor, I’m sorry to have to do this to you again but I’m going to hit the hay…if my turn comes up while I am slumbering could you just put me down for that third name on the list I emailed you earlier? Hahaha what would I do without you.
EDIT: Mary Louise Parker
So are we done for the night?
Ya, let’s call it a night. The round is almost over then on to the 7th round!
Good morning guys! =) Love the time difference! I am gonna sit down and figure out my picks more selective now while working out the movie plot so dont expect that much activity from me in a while!
Great work everyone love to see this draft coming together!
My pick in round 6
Director Michael Mann
He might not be the only director brought in for this projects, negotiations have started for a possible co-director partner. The only clause/Obligation for Mann on the film is that he makes is as Insideresque as possible!!!
Oh I seriously considered him to helm my project. I like your idea of making it like The Insider. Fantastic movie, perhaps Crowe’s best role to date.
Thanks! He will be perfect for this script!
Boy, this is moving quicker than I can keep up with.
My sixth pick is Johnny Depp. I need someone who can do charming and creepy at the same time. Besides myself, of course.
ah… Finally!! I was thinking how come no one choose him yet?
It’s amazingly fast,isn’t it?
Chiwetel Ejiofor. I need his versatility
Awesome pick! I considered him strongly for the pick that went to Javier Bardem. I love his work.
Does anyone know how to pronounce his name?
CHEW-ih-tell EJ-ee-oh-for
I guess I’m either lazy or impatient
for my next pick I’ll take Ian McKellen… he’ll fit well into my story
I think Castor has gone MIA
I’m here. Everything is up to date.
This has been one heck of a long round.
No kidding.
With my 6th round pick, I select Mia Wasikowska. She is one of the budding stars of the film world today. I think she is captivating. I am thrilled that I can make her a part of my cast.
She reminds me a bit of Claire Danes who’s also a great actress. She hasn’t been in anything good lately though. Curious how Wasikowska will fare as Jane Eyre but I like what I saw from the trailer.
I am gonna say what everyone (males+) think. She is a deadringer for Aurora Snow.
Julianne Moore
Ossie Davis. I’ve always liked him and I need someone who can do a Southern gentleman.
I need someone to play an old professorial type. This character will also act as the narrator of the film. Originally, I wanted Morgan Freeman, but I realized that there are a number of people who could fill this role. Freeman would have been great at it. So would Ian McKellen, but both have been picked. James Earl Jones would kill this role. So would Christopher Lee or Patrick Stewart. However, none of them are going to do this role, because John Hurt is.
John Hurt can do anything, including narrating a romance with supernatural elements. In fact, thanks to Hellboy, he’s actually been a professor in a movie with the supernatural.
I like John Hurt, he’s consistently good in everything I’ve seen him in. I think he’d indeed be able to fill the role you mention.
Well, essentially, the role is “old guy with great voice.”
Love him as Ollivander.
I guess it’s time to start the 7th round. Good pick of Donald Glover Rip. I would have piccked him for the OTHER movie I was going to do before I settled on the one I’m doing now
