(Int. board room)
10 nameless white men in business suits sit at a table clamoring These are the taste makers. The deciders of all pop culture. The Studio Executives of Happy Madison Productions. An older man sits at the head of the table, like a king. His underlings clamor in an anxious flurry of fear and sweat. The room goes silent, as the Boss tilts his head toward one of the men sitting near him, propositioning him to speak
Studio Exec 1: What if we did a modern retelling of It's a Wonderful Life?
Studio Exec 2: But we can edge it up! Like make it wackier!
Studio Exec 2: But we can edge it up! Like make it wackier!
The boss is silent. He strokes his chin with the front of his fat middle finger. The whole room waits on bated breath before finally the man speaks.
Studio Boss: ...That is brilliant. Who do you think we should get for the Jimmy Stewart role?
Studio Exec 2: How about the guy that played the Waterboy and Little Nicky?
Studio Boss: We're going to make so much money you guys.
