That is probably how Recon Rover Rick found himself in that hot spot in the first place. Sargeant Leroy Jenkins always did have a knack for rushing into trouble.
It's that Stupid Leroy Jenkins guy.
Er, I was reffering to Samuel L. Jackson.
Here's one idea for an opening:
(we see a silhouetted figure watching 3Dvision)
Newslady: Today, On The Spiritual Side, we discuss the Garland initiative. Just for those of you who haven't heard about the Garland initiative, it's a project headed by Australian Activist Jack Garland*, with the help of Russian physicist Provost Zakharov, Scottish Ecologist Deidre Skye, U.N. Commissioner Pravin Lal, and a team of scientists, engineers, and average joes from all over the world, to start humanity afresh by colonizing a planet orbiting Alpha Centauri, the closest star to the Sun. I'm here with sister Miriam Godwinson, On The Spiritual Side.
Miriam: Hello, Kim.
Kim: Now, Miriam, you have been one of the most vocal advocates of the Garland initiative; do you believe there is any scriptural support for your position?
Miriam: Yes, as a matter of fact, this whole incident seems to be a double take on Genesis 3:24: (aforementioned verse). Another passage of note is (the passage in Revelation which refers to the new Heaven and the New Earth.)
Kim: Do you believe Chiron is the new earth?
Miriam: I wouldn't shout from the top of Freedom Tower, but God certainly has implemented prophecy in mysterious ways in the past.
Kim: In your new book, you-
(The 3Dvision is turned off, and the silhouetted figure is revealed to be Lal.)
Pria: I thought you were watching that.
Lal: I was, but now I have to ask an old friend to loan me a little cash...
*I haven't read the novels, so I pulled Garland's first name and country of origin out of a hat.
That's a great opening. But we still need the opening credits & I don't know where to put it so that the plot would make sense. The spelling is Prokhor Zakharov not Provorst.
Here's a hintCEO Morgan-???
Er, I was reffering to Samuel L. Jackson.
Hey, he would make a perfect Morgan! What about Yang?
Later...
Lal-???
Santiago-Salma Hayek
Miriam-Susan Surandon
Morgan-Samuel L. Jackson
Zakharov-That guy who plays Mad Eye Moody in the HP movie franchise
Yang-???
Dierdre-Rachel Wiess or Kiera Knightly or Kirstin Dunst
Dude, Rachel Weisz = Dierdre but Kiera Knightley wouldn't be a bad choice either.
Kirstin Dunst would suck, though. She's talentless.
I still cannot even comprehend the Samuel L Jackson argument. Do people just want to throw him anywhere they need a black guy, because of his box office pull? Putting him in SMAC would be as forced as he was as 'Mace Windu'.
I love SLJ, but he's going to look way goofy anywhere outside of 20th Century United States.
