Convincing Clooney is the way to go

Alec Cartio is a talented director who shoots music videos and Sulo Williams is a gifted actor who hasn’t gotten his big break and is frustratedSo they decided to make a movie.Welcome to the Gollywood dreamAfter seeing their very charming film which is the collaboration of 2 good friends  working together to produce their first feature with  a great soundtrack, I met with Alec and I created this dialogue which may have occurred but the result is “Convincing Clooney” the filmExterior Day:Peets Coffee in Santa Monica(Screenwriters and producers meet there and the ideas will be pouring in)Dialogue:Sulo, I know that you are an actor and struggling but have you ever written a script?No,but I was an English major and writer,Neil Simon says write what you know and I will use my own experiences.Hey, remember when Naomi Watts did that short film,Ellie Parker which was a day in the life of an actor and director David Lynch viewed it and cast her in the film , Mulholland Drive and the rest is historyWait a minute!We need a catchy titleWho is the most charismatic actor who everyone loves on the red carpet and is charming?Could he be Italian?Yes, but Marcello Mastroinni is no longer around.What about Pacino or DeNiro?Oscar winners but do they like the red carpet?I have in mind a darling of Hollywood and the other night I met Oscar winner George Clooney at a screening of Michael Clayton.Maybe we convince him?Well we can try and perhaps he will allow us to use his name like in the film, Being John Malkovich.Yes but John was in the filmWell it sounds great if he loves the idea and perhaps lends us his name for the film title and maybe he does a cameo.I love itWe can put all over friends in the film and we won’t have to pay them much moneyWell my manager really wants us to bring in casting director, Neely Gurman.Our emotional soundtrack will lure the most gorgeous actresses because I need a love interest and we must meet cute and shoot this film around Los Angeles and Hollywood as the backdropSo we are cool on all these pointsThanks broI love you manhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvnWIKGm44Qhttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Convincing-Clooney/121690901197433
