Topic: Ideas Up-for-Grabs
Got an idea for a brickfilm you want to make but don't have the time or resources to make and it just slips away as the weeks, months and years pass by? Why not put it out into the ether. Maybe someone can take it and make it into something grand.
Warning: Don't expect people to share credit if they go viral with your idea. Share ideas you're willing to part with into the public.
Some ideas I had but never implemented:
Drunkus Prime
This idea came up around when Dark of the Moon was announced and Shia wasn't recasted. Optimus drunk dials Sam like a drunk calling his ex. The goal was to make references to Optimus' dialog in the film, such as how often the Transformers shouted "Sam!"
Some dialog from the scene.
SAM: Hello?
OPTIMUS: Oh, Sam? I'm sorry. I must have misdialed you.
SAM: Yeah, like the last 50 times you misdialed me?
OPTIMUS: No, that can't be right? 50 times? Come on. How are you, by the way?The whole conversation turns into a scenario of a stalker ex-girlfriend calling her ex, Optimus being the ex-girlfriend.
OPTIMUS: Sam, remember when you ran to the building like I told you to?
OPTIMUS: What happened to us Sam? Sam? You there Sam?
OPTIMUS: You still dating what’s her name? Megan something?
SAM: You mean Mikaela?
OPTIMUS: Nah, I'm pretty sure it was Megan. She was a Fox!
SAM: No, we broke up, remember?
OPTIMUS: Oh yeah, you’re dating that Australian girl now
SAM: She’s British.
OPTIMUS: British, Australian, whatever. You all sound alike!
SAM: Optimus!
OPTIMUS: Sorry, sorry.
SAM: Have you been drinking?
OPTIMUS: What? No, just taking some raw Energon.The conversation is interrupted when someone takes the phone from Sam to tell Optimus to stop calling them. It’s Starscream.
STARSCREAM: Optimus, you need to stop calling.
OPTIMUS: Starscream? You're with Starscream? Sam! Nooo!
STARSCREAM: Optimus. It's over. Sam has moved on. He’s with me now. You need to let this go. Don’t call us again.
OPTIMUS: No wait! Sam! Sam! You put him back on the phone right now, Starscream!The scene ends with the line disconnecting and Optimus cries for Sam and weeps, tossing the phone aside. The phone is a Transformer.
PHONE: Geez, Prime...get a hold of yourself.
Fastfood
King from Burger King, Ronald and Hamburglar from McDonald, Wendy from Wendy's, Star from Carl's Jr., Colonel Sanders from KFC, Jack from Jack in the Box, and Jared from Subway all at Denny's, trying to decide who pays the bill. Carl's Jr gets thrown around like a ninja star, Hamburglar sneaks away without leaving a tip, Jared suggests separate checks but no one listens.
This was written years ago, before Jared Fogle became a pariah.
Canadian Stag-off
Bambi, Rudolph and Bullwinkle have a Mexican stand-off in Canada.
This idea I might actually try to make, but I'm throwing it out there in case I don't. I'm open to a collaboration.

Imagine Princess Charlotte campaign ad using Daenerys Targaryen's quote about breaking the wheel but instead of the House names, she uses U.S. President and candidate names (Trump, Clinton, Bush, Kennedy, etc.)
Trump, Clinton, Bush, Kennedy, Roosevelt
They're all just spokes on a wheel.
This one's on top, then that one's on top.
And on and on it spins, crushing those on the ground.
I'm not going to stop the wheel.
I'm going to break the wheel.Charlotte for Queen of the British Empire
