Topic: [CASTING CALL] Lego Batman - Ace of Knaves
Short plot synopsis...
Lego Batman - Ace of Knaves follows the Dark Knight through a week during his early years.
Gotham City is being terrorised by the Red Hood and the Hood Gang, he is known by the media as the man that always manages to just slip through the GCPD's fingers, but to the Batman, he is known as a simple annoyance.
After stealing from a bank being used by Carmine Falcone to launder drug money, Red Hood is strong-armed by the Falcone-hired Deadshot into performing a task as compensation. This task is perpetrating an arson attack against the Ace Chemical plant.

About the film...
This film as technically been in pre-production for many, many years. The very original draft of the script, titled as The Dark Jester at that time, was completed in 2010. It sat for a few months as I did other projects, and when I went back to it, I realised how awful it was. So I rewrote it, that draft was completed in 2012. Also awful. A last ditch attempt was created in 2013, I got halfway through the script before it just sort of fell flat at my feet. In September, I rediscovered the script and it was just so good. Recently I've only been making things I'm comfortable with, my original fantasy series Nattodesu, some Lego Doctor Who. Things I know exactly how to do. Now, with this, I want to push myself. I have never done Batman before. People may know me as someone that doesn't finish projects a lot, with this you needn't worry, as it's been in pre-production for too long for me to abandon it.
PLEASE NOTE...
I am currently attending college, and work on Saturdays, so while this film would normally take a while at it's script length (which if the "minute per page" rule turns out to be true, will make this close to an hour long), it will take even longer. So if you send a successful audition, do not expect the film in a few months. It may even be next Autumn / Winter. Don't hold me to anything.
