Marinette: That's not in the best interests of the film! Zoé is perfect for the role of the superhero of creation.Ĭhloé: The next plane for New York leaves in 30 minutes. To protect your-I mean, the interest of the film, you gotta be flexible, therefore, André's daughter will play the starring role. Marinette: But it's impossible, we've prepped and gotten everything set!īob: Moviemaking, kid, is the art of compromise. Marinette: (runs over) Chloé, what are you doing here?!īob: My old friend André told me you'd be okay making a few small changes in the script so that his daughter could be part of the film. Thomas: And here's the office of the producer, Bob Roth.Ĭhloé: (spins around in the chair) Surprise! (The rest gasp.) (He closes the door and runs after Chloé. Sabrina: Banana, Chloé? (She follows her.)Īndré: Don't worry, kids, I'll go talk to her, everything will be fine tomorrow. So, you're gonna give me the part my half-of-a-sister is playing because everything she owns is mine. But if this stupid, childish film actually gets released in theaters and turns someone into a star, that someone should be me.
Jean-Pierre: Might I remind you that you were offered a chance, like all the students in the school, to participate in the film, but you refused because, and I quote, "Mylène's sweater is too ugly, Nate draws like a 2-year-old, Alya is useless and Marinette is ridiculous, utterly ridiculous"?Ĭhloé: Well, I still mean all of it.
Thomas: It's true, and we're meeting with the producer tomorrow, so it's too late to change anything now. You are made for this part, you deserve it! Marinette: Don't let your sister walk all over you, Zoé. (Walks over to Zoé.) You-I told you that you'd be sent back to New York if you ever crossed my path, and now, not only are you on my path, but on TV, too! Zoé: You may hate me, but I love you, and I always will-Ĭhloé: (slamming the door open) How dare you all! Giving the lead role to my half-of-a-sister who just came out of nowhere?! And with daddy's money, on top of it all.Īndré: Uh, it's not actually funded by me, sweetheart, but by the city.Ĭhloé: Same thing. Zoé: (reading script) You may hate me, but I love you, and I always will! Rose and Marinette help Mylène and Zoé with their costumes.) What a lucky break for these student-filmmakers, as well as for the two young actresses who'll be starring in the main role!
(An image of him appears, and André peeps from behind.
Utterly ridiculous movie#
( Nino and Jean-Pierre supervise Nathaniel as he draws.) From script to storyboard, not to mention costumes, ( Rose admires Marinette's costumes)-everything's being done by the students themselves ( Alix paints a sword green.) with financial support from Paris' city hall.Īndré: Yes you know, I myself directed a few in my youth, and-Ĭlara: And the cherry on top is that the film will be released in select movie theaters thanks to famous producer Bob Roth.
Utterly ridiculous how to#
(Thomas Astruc shows Zoé and Mylène how to use the swords.) He's overseeing this group of students who are volunteering their own vacation time to produce a real-life movie. Clara: Under the initiative of the art teacher, Jean-Pierre Monlataing, one of Françoise Dupont school's alumni, Thomas Astruc, who's become a successful film director, is participating in an ambitious project.
