3. Would it be a live-action film or animated? Why?
animated… that way the characters could look like i wanted them too. i wouldn’t want anyone to look too normal. everyone has flaws, and i’d want to really exaggerate them. but i wouldn’t exaggerate my flaws, i’d make them all go away! i’d be perfect!
4. Casting: who would play you, members of your family, friends, etc?
me? who would play me? i think that i’d like drew barrymore to be my voice. she speaks kinds like me. my sister mar, would have to be calista flockhart. my mother, kathy bates; my father, harrison ford. andrea would have to be kate hudson, and chris (her husband) brad pitt. remember, these are just voices! my friend stephen would be john cusack. yes there are more, but who needs to cast the whole movie right now!
5. Describe the movie preview/trailer.
oh my god! its a car driving down the freeway. frazzled girl driving, hair a mess, clothes a mess, looking a bit panicked. when she looks ahead she justs sees the road. looking left, she sees a bit of her romantic life passby (making out with an old boyfriend) OH MY GOD! she says looking back ahead. looking right, she sees a bit of her school/work life (being fired from kentucky fried chicken in high school) OH MY GOD! she says looking back ahead. she then looks behind her to see her family chasing after her… she speeds up and sees her friends straight ahead, wave-ing her down. she runs over them. everything goes black and she wakes up to the sound of the phone ringing… the announcer says, meet trixie, a thirty something woman trying to make sense of it all. her life is that drive, and she desperately wants to get out of the car. The girl sits straight up in bed and says, WOULDN?T YOU?
Look who’s talking…
