I’ve found this generation’s Hope and Crosby.

January 2nd, 2008 by Bill Corbett · 60 Comments

During the roughly seventeen months it took me to research and write my now-classic Gandalf on a Segway diary, I came across this picture:

3529m.jpg

That’s my professional colleague Sir Ian McKellen, again, on the right. And on the left?…affable Cleveland schlub Drew Carey.

Ladies and gentleman: I see a buddy movie franchise.

A big one. $$ Ka-ching $$ for one and all. I’m talking Danson-Mandel level Olympian heights: endless sequels; money which we will literally need to burn in order to stop it from crushing us; the raw power to have our enemies disappeared, and replaced, unnoticed by their families, with people who love us. So…

Pitch me their first movie. Hurry! I needed it yesterday.

Winner gets to share the enormous future McKellen/Carey mega-movie-machine profits: a crisp (or gently used, but not filthy) one dollar bill, sent by me to you, via the appropriate phalanx of faceless intermediaries, with a handwritten note in Genuine “Ballpoint” Pen thanking you for your service.

Rules: 50 words or less; no porn; no monkeys over 50 lbs; no cameos by Kid Rock. (Though I guess those last two are redundant — zzzzzzing!!)

Oh, and Donny Most MUST have a substantial role, or the money people will flush the project down the loo, tout de suite.

A decision will be made by 11:59 PM EST, Friday 1/4/2008.

THIS OFFER IS REAL.

Remember…

    ralph_malph_b.jpg

    YES.

    NO.

Get to work, you maggots!

(Or not. I’m sorry. Can I get you a Fresca?)

    A lonely, yet successful British writer, Melvin (McKellan) has a lay over in New York, when funny, overweight, happy-go-lucky, ex-heroin addict named Phillip (Carrey) tries to snatch his bag. Instead he gets his latest manuscript. A little white lie spins out of control as Phillip becomes famous for his new book. Like most comedies, this will not pertain to reality at all, and will have a happy conclusion with no disappointments.

    Lord Gendorf (McKellan) thought he was booking a trip to an exclusive Caribbean resort, but he’s in for a surprise when he arrives on Isla de las Pulgas, a tiny island with one run-down hotel, owned by Roy (Drew Carey). Initially, they clash, but eventually they see past their differences and together they thwart the evil bad guys who want to demolish the island to open a new route for cruise ships.
    Costarring Danny Most as the wise islander, and Bea Arthur as the love interest.

    Sorry Dallas, but I believe you’ll be automatically disqualified for getting Donny Most’s name wrong. Such a fine idea, crushed by a simple misplaced vowel. A shame, but that’s the dream-crushing reality of the movie industry.

    Reply from Dallas on January 3, 2008:

    What? No, Danny is Donny’s long-lost half brother, who was put up for adoption as a child and spent his life roaming the world, learning the mystic ways of the ancients (not any ancients in particular, just some he met at a Denny’s). This would be their big reunion picture.
    The real problem is that I spelled Donny’s name “Bea Arthur”. Simple mistake, I know.

  • 3 Katie M. on Jan 2, 2008 at 9:06 pm

    How about an all-male remake of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Drew would be Martha (obviously), Sir Ian as George, with Danny Most as Nick and (since we couldn’t get Kid Rock) Kevin Federline as Honey.

    Four words: MULLET… FOR… A… DAY. McKellan, a British ex-pat/agent, wakes up one day to discover that he now sports a mullet. Somehow, Danny Most, the villain, has styled McKellan’s hair-do while he was sleeping so that he’s business on top, but party in the back.

    Via a untraceable call, Most tells McKellan that he has 24-hours to get him a steady-paying gig or the mullet stays on McKellan forever! (The logistics of this can be figured out by a screenwriter.) Desperate, McKellan gets his assistant, Drew Carey, and hilarity ensues as they try to find work for a Happy Days has-been.

    Well? What do you think?

    Donny Most IS the Savior Jesus Christ in this mixed-up Hanukkah Holiday Film. Adam Sandler plays a teenage boy that finds a disoriented Christ arriving in America and looking to spread the good word. Unfortunately for the Lord, the Devil (Bea Arthur) possesses two grocery store bag-boys (Sir Ian Magneto and Drew Barker) and sends them to slay the Lamb of God. Hijinks ensue. Co-Starring Susan Sarandon as a hooker with a heart of gold.

    Drew Carey (playing the straight-laced, leading man action hero) and Sir Ian McKellan (the zany, Hawaiian-shirt-wearing loose cannon) are mismatched police detectives. They are sent undercover into a criminal organization headed up by a drug lord played by Donny Most (smell Oscar yet?). The humor of the film is supplied by McKellan’s pet, a 50 lb. 49 lb. monkey.

    This is a dance/love story. Carey plays a programmer whose life has spiralled downwards after his great love left him for Don Most at a dancing competition in his early twenties. (We’re talking seventies flashbacks here!) Now he finds a mentor in Sir Ian, who teaches him how to dance.

    We’ve already had the classic TV private eye brothers series Simon & Simon, so I agree that now would be a perfect time for Sting & Sting.

    Reply from Botchinator on January 4, 2008:

    My theory is that Sting(wrestler), and Sting(singer), are one in the same. In Sting’s (wrestler) early career he had very short and white/blonde hair. Good shape, and wore makeup. Throughout the career of Sting(singer), he has had the short white/blonde hair. Been in good shape.

    I think what happened is that Sting(singer) got tired of just singing and decided to whoop some ass every now and then. He got really into it. Naturally he couldn’t tell people about it, who could put up with the humiliation of being a “pro” wrester?

    The link here is one day back in the early nineties Sting (singer) was doing a concert and a fan jumped on stage. The fan preceded to fondle and mess with Sting(singer). Sting(singer) had enough of this guy’s crap and promptly applied the Scorpion Death Lock.

    I don’t have proof but my sources are solid, i swear.

    Sir Ian McKellen plays Roscoe Montague, a wealthy, independent British brewer who is aggressively seeking the American Market. Drew Carey plays Steve Miles, who works for a large American brewer, and who wants to hold on to the American market.

    Both men decide, as a business model, to aggressively market to American youth…and by “youth”, I mean, “kids”. And so who do they both try to recruit?

    Scottie “The Big Pony” Marsden, played by Donnie Most, a washed-up child star whose sitcom, “Name That Stain”, has its best days behind him.

    So, I propose a mega-multi-million dollar opus which has it all: big stars, big plot, and lots of stuff exploding.

    Mr. Corbett, I humbly give you…BEER KNIGHT!

    Drew and Sir Ian are garbage men in a small town in Southern Illinois. Ralph Malph, a successful businessman, is making a fortune by dumping nuclear waste under the local baseball diamond with the help of his suit-clad roughians. Things go great until our unwitting heroes uncover the sinister plot.

    Notes:
    I know it’s a stretch, but Drew might be able to play someone from “not-Cleveland”.
    I suggest we bill Sir Ian as just “Sir”.
    Just think of the tagline potential….”These two are taking out the trash!”…”This town needs to be cleaned up, and they’re the guys to do it!”…”100% Cerebro free!”

  • 16 Edgewriter on Jan 3, 2008 at 9:13 am

    It’s a collision course for wackiness as the oldest kid in the orphanage, Bobby Nickels (Drew Carey) can’t seem to get adopted. Bobby even though in his thirties still acts and dresses like a twelve year old.

    But across the pond in England, the wealthy British Prime Minister (Sir Ian) is having a public relations nightmare. He is seen as too big of a hard ass and needs to soften his image. The last straw comes when he angrily spits in the tea of the visiting Vice President of the United States. The incident is caught on camera and all hell breaks lose. He tells his bumbling assistant, (Donny Most) to fix the situation and it is suggested that he adopt a poor American Child.

    This sparks an adoption lottery televised on BBC. The names of thousands of US-born orphans are put in a big basket and guess whose name is drawn?

    That’s right, our boy Bobby. Hilarious hijinks ensue as Bobby goes over to England and generally makes a mess of things. The biggest embarrassment comes when he accidently slips at a banquet, grabs at the nearest object to stop himself, and gives the Queen of England a “wardrobe malfunction”.

    Eventually, The Prime Minister’s heart is soften towards Bobby and the two develop a true and deep father/son relationship that will hold them through to many more life experiences despite the meddling by the guy that wants the Prime Minister’s job, Sir Benny Potts (Alan Cumming)

    Future films could consist of Bobby and the prime minister going on a Roman Holiday, Bobby Taking the Prime Minister back to his orphanage, and a wacky Aspen Ski Trip.

    What do you say Bill? I thinks it’s the idea of the century.

    A CGI-animated children’s blockbuster:

    Carey stars as a brook trout caught by a con man, who disguises him as a previously undiscovered fish from the Nile river and sells him to an eccentric millionaire (Donny Most) who plans to turn him into a hat. McKellen stars as a wizened old bear also bought by Most, soon to become a living room rug.

    Despite the bear’s initial attempts to eat the fish, the two eventually form a fast friendship and team up in a zany scheme to escape their captor and return to their respective homes.

    The title: “Trout of Africa.”

    Geppetto attempts to create another, less annoying, wooden person. He passes out drunk after none of his Angelina-Joliecchios come to life. Upon waking he finds a wooden Donny-Mostcchio hovering over him. Geppetto goes for a wood chipper when Donny-Mostcchio is abducted by the evil Woodeneto. Now it’s personal.

    All is well until, on opening day, an attempt on Paolo’s life is made… but by who!? The FBI gets involved, led by a squinty-eyed Ian McKellen as Det. Rick Tator. After a few seconds of rigorous planning, the FBI decides to use their secret weapon: undercover infiltration. They send in their best, Det. Tator, stripping him of his trench and fedora and unplugging the fog machine at his feet.

    Now, Det. Tator must don the leotard, “learn the ropes” and find the killer before the he strikes again! And with Paolo in center-ring for the next seven nights, Tator’s got his hands full! To make matters worse, Paolo’s not gonna’ let some old geezer ruin his time in the limelight! Can our heroes work together to save the show and the day!?

    Co-starring Donny Most as the conniving Banjo the Clown, and the swishy, seductive Gillian Anderson, who spits fires and steals hearts. Christopher Walken as Ring Master.

    Mix in some ’splosions, tent-top chase scenes, and hilarious groin injuries, and you’ve got yourself a blockbuster.

    Tagline: It May Not Be the Greatest Show, But It’s Definitely Probably In Our Top Fifty Maybe!

    This film is rated PG-13 for gratuitous spandex and graphic bulging.
