Here's how I think a lot of movies get made. I'll set the scene:In the office of a Hollywood movie production house a meeting is taking place. The head of the production company is fuming because no one is coming up with any fresh ideas. Greg Schmeckel, a 21 year old intern, is sound asleep and dreaming.
Production head (PH): "Dammit, people, we need something big! Something that hasn't been done a hundred times by Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer!"
Female staffer: "How about a buddy picture with several girls going through coming of age issues all linked together by something, like the travelling pants..."
PH: (Interrupts) "I said NEW! And we want this picture to make money, not make estrogen. Dammit, people, think! Hey....SCHMECKEL! Are you ASLEEP!!??"
Schmeckel: "Guh?"
PH: "Since you have so many winning movie ideas that you can sleep through my meetings, tell me one now or you are FIRED!"
Schmeckel: (Hiding morning wood, thinking about the dream he was having) "Um...well...I don't have the full plot fleshed out yet, but it stars Lindsay Lohan as a stripper."
Female Staffer: "Ugh. I think the world has seen ENOUGH of Lindsay Lohan and her antics."
PH: "Hey, Gloria Steinem, zip it! This might work. I can see the image now! Schmeckel, you're a GENIUS!!"
Look for I Know Who Killed Me hitting theaters July 27th.
