Although, I am glad I went first because I suspect the beating I'm taking here could scare a few of my competitors into not submitting any answer at all. ;) (If I were a judge, I'd give me some bonus points for having the balls to go first not only in my group, but in the whole competition.)

Well, not all the judges have spoken yet- you might get a softball from hammerfan.

Good point. The super tough judges already decimated my answer with logic and common sense so there's nothing left for Austin and hammerfan to do except praise my punctuation and sentence structures. ;)

I'm thinking Hammer is gonna be the Paula of the group. She's just too damn nice to come down hard on anybody.

I picked her as the Paula right off the bat, but then Rod wanted in on the backstage affair plans I had and dubbed himself Paula.
By the way, this is all part of my master plan to make myself into the underdog early on so that I can lower everyone's expectations of me and then come on strong in the finals witha surprise victory. If I aced this question, the judges would be even more picky with my next rounds, but now as long as I don't cast a dead actor in the lead in the next rounds, they'll see it as an improvement. (Sheer brilliance!) :D

THE FIRST TEST OF HDC IDOL 2008-09
- Bloodrayne : It is the year 1955. Universal Pictures have gained a firm foothold based on their monster/iconic horror movies, and Hammer is slowly but surely getting a grasp in the genre. You are an enthusiastic producer with lots of cash, and have the best director of the moment in your pocket. Which movie would you make, and what would be your budget and cast? How will you make your flick saleable with the audiences? - Bwind22 : You are in the year 1968. George A Romero's Night of the Living Dead looms in the horizon, and the 60s have already produced some memorable Hitchcock classics and several other wonderful horror flicks. You are a budding script writer, and get a call from Hitchcock for a possible script idea. What idea do you pitch to him, and what will your script be of? Quote:
- Cactus : It is the year 1931. Dracula has just been released and is doing well. Universal have a winner on their hands, and are already planning a possible sequel. Their rival production company wants you, their Manager, to think up of a dream project which would outscore Universal at their own game. What possible idea can you conjure up, and pitch it successfully to your peers? - Dude Guadalupe : You are in 1987, a really talented new director who has been given a most difficult task - 20th Century Fox have been in touch and asked you to make a kickass sequel to Aliens, within 3 years, which would totally bowl the audiences over like James Cameron's masterpiece did the year before. Who would you contact to produce the movie? Your choice of scriptwriter and possible stars? - Freak : You are in 1974. After NotLD, The Exorcist has become a runaway huge hit with audiences screaming out of the theaters. You are a struggling actor trying to make it big on the screen. You heard that a certain young Steven Spielberg (with a great script tucked under his arm) is looking for young actors. How do you get in touch with him, and what audition will you give him to convince that one of the lead roles belongs to you? - Illdojo : 2007. Rob Zombie has contacted you, a musician yourself, to give him an idea for a possible sequel to his version of Halloween. He is your best friend, and he wont take no for an answer. You only have a vague knowledge of the movie, and he has explicitly said that he doesnt want to do another Halloween II, but rather see a totally original take for the sequel to his remake. Do you have a possible idea to float to him? - Jenna26 : The year is 1996. Troma, known for their low-budget gorific flicks, have suddenly decided to make a zero-budget shockfest based on cannibalism, with plenty of gore (of course!) and campy humor. As both a director and Makeup In charge, how will you go about your task of making yet another Troma "moneyspinner"? - Roshiq : The year is 1949. You are a great producer-director with lots of cash to spare, and Universal want you to make yet another winner, a follow-up to their monster hits from earlier years. You suddenly hit upon a goldmine of an idea - The Evil Dead!! What will your cast be of, and how will you go about making it? Remember its the late 40s, era of b/w movies, shock is limited to expressions and acting, minimal gore (plenty of effects which look jaded today), etc. The Ogre bwind22 has turned in his answer, which has been critically dissected by 3 judges already. 2 are yet to bash him, after which I will request all Judges to send me their grades for bwind's entry. On a scale from A to E. All other Ogres, you are requested to turn in your entries before TG day arrives. We will take a break for 24 hours in honor of TG.

With the success of Predator in 1987, I'd call up Director John McTiernan to jump on as producer for my sequal to aliens.
I would bring back Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett as writers. They did a wonderful job on both Alien and Aliens, so I think it would be a good choice to bring them back. As for stars, I would bring back those who survived Aliens. Sigourney Weaver as Ripley, Carrie Henn as Newt, Michael Biehn as Hicks, and (assuming the script called for his return) Lance Henriksen as Bishop. This would be for continuity, due to the fact that I can't stand when actors are replaced and the audience is expected not to notice. Any other actors would depend upon the script.

A competent but uninspired answer. No surprises.

I understand it's a "no frills" answer but I made choices that I thought would be best for the film.
Who knows the story better than the guys who wrote the first two? And how would an audience react after seeing two movies with Sigourney Weaver as Ripley only to turn up for a third with someone else in the role? I think that audiences would reject it and it would bomb. Those are just my opinions and that's why I made the choices I made. Not arguing, just stating my case :D
