I kept thinking for a more creative title, but then i realised that my brain doesn't work that way. Yes its the sequel. Not like the Transporter movies where the part 2 is the continuation of part 1. But more like the "scary movie" franchise where part 1 and 2 are totally different. While it wad machine design last time its project management this time . Again the "sleep demon" was trying to take me over resuling in me starting to throw words at it to drive it away.
A MOVIE
I have always wanted to make a movie . Short or long, its always been in the back of my mind. So, what are the ingredients required to make a movie ? First , the movie needs a story (I just dont want to be one of those guys who make movies with no story whatsoever and call it "commercial".). So where was I? Yes , a story. A story which most probably has one or more lead characters. The character around which the story (and later movie) revolves. Then I need a name to refer to him/her/it. Since I have chosen to have a male lead for the story I will have to look for some masculine names for our Hero. How about Raj? too common. Siva ? Not catchy enough. Ramu? Thats too much or a cliche. Vinay? Good enough! Yes, Vinay sounds perfect.
So, Vinay is a young guy living in the city. Now since our Hero is a young guy living in the city he obviously needs a friend. Friend=Bharath. Vinay and Bharath : Close friends living in the city. Or lets make it close childhood friends living in the city.
Now I a getting carried away choosing the leads and their names that I have totally forgotten about the plot. So what type of story do I have in mind?
It could be scary horror flick. Vinay and Bharath decide to take a road trip to the abandoned castle in a remote village which was the home of Bharath’s Great great great grandparents. But the fellow villagers don’t seem to be all that friendly and later they find out that they aren’t all that human either. EEkkkk…. That was a scream to give you a feel of the movie.
But I have always been ‘creeped’ by horror so it could maybe be Sci Fi thriller. Vinay is having a normal morning in a normal life when a space missile from outer space randomly chooses his bedroom to fall into and gives him a set of instructions which if not followed will result in the destruction of the earth.
Or it could be a romantic comedy : Bharath’s brother is getting married so he and Vinay travel to another city to attend the wedding. Things seem to be going normally but only until Vinay meets Bharth’s cousin, the dove faced angel, Sindhu.
But I have never been that big a fan of romance , so chuck that. How about an action adventure thriller? Vinay and Bharath are leading normal lives when suddenly one day Mr. Singh from the ‘research and analysis wing’ wants to train vinay so that he can impersonate his long lost identical twin who died on the course of a recent mission.
Wait! I have seen that movie before , or something like that. I guess that rules it out. Oh! It could be one of those cool superhero flicks where when vinay does a dangerous experiment in the chemistry lab which backfires and destabilizes his molecular structure enabling him to change into any shape he wants but cant stay stable in a shape for more than 2 hours. He uses these skills to destroy Bharath who has mysteriously gained the power to turn people into stone and now wants to destroy our planet.
Before you say not another one of those, I have another idea.
It could be one of those Psycho-thrillers where vinay and Bharath are two friends who seem to be inseparable but are constantly contradicting each other until one day Vinay finds out that he is a split personality and both of them are the same person.
After so much thinking I still feel I have got nowhere….. oops the bell just rang.. I am off …. Bye.
