Okay, sure I'm in (though I'm sure I'll have questions about the rules at some point...) :p

P (30s), wannabe childstar mom. My daughter gets her gorgeous black hair from me and her olive skin and blue eyes from my ex (aka, the sperm donor). She's breathtaking, and I just know she'll be a star! She can do a bit of everything, so don't ask me to narrow down her talents. I'm going to Hollywood to set up a place for us to get ready to go after her dreams (even if that means hunting down those dreams and beating them into submission with a club!).

As for me, I dress like I'm 10 years younger than I am and talk like I belong (wherever that may be). I can fit in everywhere and everyone loves me, so I know we'll all get along just great.

T (40).

One a very successful and handsome actor, now degraded to B-Movie films. My ego hasn't been degraded though, I still think I'm God's gift to women, sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. I'm looking for my big comeback to Hollywood, since there's been a rise of interest in faded stars. People hate me, but they love to hate me, which is why they keep me around in their social circles.

X (20's)

I've Only been in a handful of "B" movies and bit parts on television shows, was a corpse on CSI once. I am also a creature of bad habbits, drugs, alcohol, women. I have been arrested a few times, mostly drug related and DUI's. I have a gift for manipulation and am a bit of a con artist. I will make it big one day, and noone will get in my way.

Welcome aboard 'C', 'P', 'T' and 'X'.  Quite a mouthful, that was.  I hope you all find the accommodations comfortable.



You'll all have to bunk up for this trip.  

I hope you find your roommates agreeable. But if not, perhaps you'll find an appropriate way to deal with them.

Since my Halloween short film (see below) is finished I will have time to join. Got to think up a character first. Will add one here later today.  

If Mistress Pia's in, then I'm in as well, damnit!

I'll put together a name and some character info ASAP - later today/tonight.

Quoted from Grandma Bear Since my Halloween short film (see below) is finished I will have time to join. Got to think up a character first. Will add one here later today.

I'll have to see how my work load goes this week.
Is there a cut off date to join?

As to the video....Cheeky stuff! Love the payoff!
The end credit sequence is stellar! Love the music.

So, how many pumpkins did you have to carve to get all the expressions?

E.D.

Quoted from Electric Dreamer So, how many pumpkins did you have to carve to get all the expressions?

6 pumpkins. The evil one I had to make twice because the teeth were too skinny and broke off. Looked like a hillbilly pumpkin!  

Cornetto...SEALs are not army.  

I'm "D" a mid 40s camera woman. I love photography and film. I carry my cameras with me wherever I go. I almost always find interesting things to capture. I'm a bit scatterbrained and often miss the big things because my cameras and I are usually focused on small things that other people miss. I'm going to Hollywood in hope to work for Tim Burton.

I was thinking of not participating in this but dammnit.

B (20)

I consider myself a good writer yet every one calls my work shit. Why? Because my story doesn't make any sense. Ha! Hollywood produces alot of shit that doesn't make sense yet they get praised. Twilight, Deathproof, Hostel, The Dark Knight, all shit. If those stories are great, my work is great too. And I'll prove it by going to Hollywood and selling my story called Angelina and Winter. It's a drama and thriller about a time traveling lesbian who comes back to save Angelina from falling in love with a man who would soon be the destroyer of women.  

Gabe

Welcome aboard D and B, it looks like it will be a full house but not to worry there's room for both of you.  I think there's room for two more as well.  Hopefully things won't be too crowded -- we wouldn't want anyone to fall off... Or would we?

As soon as I hear from the 'Dream' duo, I'll give you all your first assignment.
  

The cast so far:


U          "I am a producer, I hide behind the scenes. I like to hide.  I hide so well, I could be standing next to you.  I may even be you.  

I have, at the very least, known you.  In fact, I have known you so well that I have allowed each one of you to betray me.  This is perhaps my fault,  perhaps not, but I will be the victim no longer.

I have arranged this train trip to Hollywood, a place most of you dream of as a destination. Will your dreams come true, or will this be your final nightmare?   "

I          Well spoken, even tempered and emotionally shallow, "I" am heading to Hollywood for the reason everyone goes to Hollywood... to get rich. However, I'm not an actor. Although I could be if that's what it takes to "get rid of" the target. Due to my work, I'm very adept at changing my appearance from the mostly clean-cut 38-year old I am to to whatever it takes to get the job done, short of portraying a woman. As a man who deals with other people's... "problems", I am way out of my depth when it comes to talking to people as I'm much more comfortable being by myself. Maybe I'm regretting taking the train to Hollywood after all...

Z          Strong, kind hearted, and calculated. My name is "Z" my enlistment ended last year; the SEALS taught me more than I can ever repay. I thought acting would be a peice of cake after living the real deal, but my career has been met with dissapointment. This trip to Hollywood is my chance to make it big.

Y          Self-professed Makeup FX wizard who likes to, em, "keep it real" as much as possible. I like to have my bag of tricks in a carry on luggage.  Speaking of baggage...My wife left me for an ex-con who got himself shot full of holes during a bad diamond heist. I wish I would have been there. Haven't heard from the ex in a week. Not that I want to. Going to CA to see if I can get work on some chessy SF creature feature...but just as long as I'm far away from her and the bad drama, that's good enough for me.

M          I'm a personal agent, hired by rich men and women. I specialize in satisfying desires and enriching a genuine passion.

Mission Statement: Give me more than congee.

Q          (40s), tall, dark complexion (could be Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Egyptian...could be from anywhere). Pinstripe suit that makes him look taller. Black agenda with a silver lock under one arm.

You'll never see my hand. You might not even know you're playing my game. I'll tell you what I want you to know, make you do what I want you to do even while you think it was your idea. You don't want to cross me, and you never, ever, want to be on my list. My reasons for being here are my own. My only interest in you is for amusement; a distraction from my travels, nothing more. And my interest in this conversation has run out. Good day.

C          A former, child movie star from the 60's who had a string of major hits starring alongside such luminaries as; Elizabeth Taylor, John Wayne and Lassie before breaking into TV.
You remember Chuckie Saturn from ""Space Racers""? well, that was me.
The years weren't so good to me once my voice broke, and the work, and friends, dried up (apart from bit-parts on Quincy and Magnum P.I. in the 80's and the "Space Racer" convention circuit which pays the bills).
I had a very public melt down after my wife left me and I'm a recovering(?) alcoholic.
At 62, I never really expected to be back in film but a call out of the blue from Woody Allen's casting director to read for his new movie got me on this here train.
Now... where is the bar car

ASSIGNMENT:  Review your character and let me know if there are any changes you would like to make.  

OK, here I am...

I'm known as "A", top of the food chain, head of the class, the one you need to know, and of course, the ass you need to kiss.  So pucker up, people.

I'm a 45 year old movie critic who's been slamming movies (actors, directors, writers, and any and everyone involved in the game) for the past 25 years.  You want to be in the "in crowd"?  You better hope your shit is up to snuff, as far as I'm concerned.  If it's not?  Well, let's just say the world is going to know my feelings, and I always tell it like I see it.

I just got through an absolutely miserable premier in NYC, and I'm hoping some of you lowlifes can impress me a tad more than the completely untalented  crapfest I just wasted the weekend over.

I just signed a multi million dollar deal with Dreamworks SKG as a new talent agent, and I'm looking for superior industry talent.  I learned long ago that you never know where you'll meet the next superstar, so here's hoping this train ride can provide something better than the fucking garbage I encounter on a daily basis.

I like the passengers n this train. They all sound quite good! Great work dudes/dudettes!!

Pia, I love the Halloween video! Love the pumpkin guts.   Your daughter was great!  

Sandra

Thanks Sandra!!  

Looking forward to see what "M" will be up to.
