No Business: Vacant Worlds

“Not a whole lot is yet known about Vacant Worlds, aside from that fact that it’s being personally produced by the head of Emerald Studios, Mr. Lucas Green, and it’s being directed by Rumi Velasco, who won the Prix Un Certain Regard award at the Cannes film festival last year. The movie is set to be a blockbuster, though plot details are few and far between.

Ms. Velasco is somewhat out of place. She isn’t someone that you’d picture directing something that topples box office records — and to some extent isn’t even someone that most in the industry would picture directing an Emerald Studios production. Money talks, though, and every member of the crew for Vacant Worlds most likely signed exorbitantly high contracts, as they were all handpicked by Mr. Green himself.

The film has only recently started filming, and we’re expecting to see production shots, and begin interviews with the cast and crew sooner, rather than later. We hope to be able to provide more plot details as time goes on, but right now, everyone involved is tight lipped.

For now, we have a quote on the genre from Mr. Green.”

“It’s an action mystery thriller. Sounds like a lot, but when have I ever let you down before? That’s right, never. Wait and see.”

Character Creation Notes:

• Please note that in the skeleton there is a space or two in the img link. Fix it, fix it! Literally if you don’t it and the top of the sheet doesn’t look exactly the same as the one in the example I will toss it.
• Not everyone can apply to be an actor/actress. We’ll only be selecting a few of these.
• @Fabricant451 is playing the director. @Universorum is playing the lead producer.
• Don't change the colors in the sheet. They were carefully selected and ran through at least four focus groups before this was even posted.
• RP is taking place in 2018.
• TO PROVE TO ME YOU'VE READ ALL THREE TABS AND THIS ENTIRE LIST OF CHARACTER CREATION NOTES, WHEN YOU POST YOUR SHEET, TELL @Fabricant451 WHAT YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE IS.

No Business: Vacant Worlds

Making it in this business is far from easy. It requires extreme dedication, hard work, and immense determination. Scripts get turned down, things you direct will get edited to the point that only vaguely resemble your original vision. Even worse than that, your ‘vision’ could get panned. Nobody is perfect, but still. People try. They attach themselves to the idea of being in ‘the business,’ of being in the know. Getting to meet celebrities, making money, winning awards, even just people seeing what you’ve created…

All of these are some of the many intriguing reasons that people still come to Hollywood for their ‘shot.’ The shot in question is the opportunity to produce one of Hollywood’s big budget summer blockbuster films. To direct it, to star in it. To finally have a chance at the big leagues, where the money is. The writers are quietly hoping they’ll start a franchise, or — God willing — a cinematic universe, the director is dreaming of impressing the studio and getting signed on for ten more films. Actors and actresses are hoping its their big break. Everyone on the team is hoping this is their breakaway. The chance to really make it, and to show everyone what they can do.

Of course, there’s always the chance that it flops. Or that the studio edits the director’s vision into some garbage that’s hardly what the director put together. There’s a lot of moving parts in something like this, and if one things goes bad then the whole thing is toast.

Everyone needs to do their job right, and together, the team can make something beautiful.

_{OOC Information}

This roleplay is going to focus on the production of a movie! While both GMs will be monitoring the OOC chatter in the thread, we recommend joining the Discord Server for quicker responses to questions, or comments. PLEASE NOTE: This isn’t necessary by any means, it’s simply a preferred method of communication.

Please read all three tabs! The character skeleton can be found in the char tab; there will be a short blurb in the IC tab, and the OOC tab has… well, this.

And I’ll know if you don’t read all three tabs, I swear on me mum.

As for what types of characters you can play: you can play anything that you can see reasonably being at a Movie Production. @Fabricant451 generously (read: I made her do it) helped put together a list of potential roles! If you aren’t sure or haven’t got any ideas, this list is available on request. Thanks!
