A "Sneak Peek" at Four Screenplays I've Been Working On

by Liam Eagle

MOVIE ONE

TITLE:

Coach: The Movie!

CAST:

Coach Hayden Fox - Clint Eastwood
Christine Armstrong Fox - Kim Basinger
Kelly Fox - Katie Holmes
Asst. Coach Luther Van Dam - Jerry Stiller
Dauber Dybinski - Will Ferrell

PLOT SUMMARY:

After years spent coaching college football, coach Hayden Fox is offered a job as head coach of the NFL expansion team, the Honalulu Space Rockets, based out of Hawaii. The Coach's wife, Christine, and daughter, Kelly, are unwilling to uproot their happy lives and decide to remain behind. But, determined to live his dream, Hayden takes the job and moves to Honalulu, bringing along his sidekicks Luther and Dauber.

The hopeless Space Rockets go 0-7 to start the season, when things go from bad to worse. The team's entire starting lineup suffers season-ending injuries as the result of a bus accident. Coach Fox has lost all hope when Christine and Kelly arrive in Honalulu, lifting his spirits.

With a little help from his friends, Coach Fox recruits a new starting lineup of wacky locals. Getting by on heart, friendship and some spooky Hawaiian magic, the Space Rockets go 9-0 for the rest of the season, narrowly missing the playoffs.

MOVIE TWO

TITLE:

Mr. Belvedere: The Movie!

CAST:

Mr. Belvedere - Marlon Brando
George Owens - George Foreman
Marsha Owens - Halle Berry
Kevin Owens - Marlon Wayans
Heather Owens - Brandy
Wesley Owens - Lil' Bow Wow

PLOT SUMMARY:

Loving family man George Owens sees his whole world come crashing down when, in the space of a few days he discovers that his son Kevin suffers from a crippling addiction to a variety of drugs, that his daughter Heather is a cold, emotionless CIA assassin and that his wife Marsha has, for several years, been giving it up to their charming English butler Mr. Belvedere.

Without the usual helpful advice of Belvedere, George is at a loss for solutions to his mounting problems. His decision to "Punch [his] way out of this jam" only makes matters worse, leaving Heather in a coma.

In the end, it is mischevious young scamp Wesley's remarkable reenactment of the Nike basketball dribbling commercial that reunites the family and solves all of its problems.

The film ends with Mr. Belvedere entering clever observations into his journal.

MOVIE THREE

TITLE:

Night Court: Battle for Planet Earth

CAST:

Judge Harry Stone - Harry Anderson
Mac Robinson - Denzel Washington
Rosalind "Roz" Russel - Joanie Laurer (formerly "Chyna")
Dan Fielding - Vince Vaughn
Christine Sullivan - Jenna Jameson
Bull Shannon - Jet Li
Dr. Corrupto - Robert DeNiro

PLOT SUMMARY:

The night begins innocently in Judge Harry Stone's night court, with the conviction of several whores, each of whom flirts with unwholesome prosecutor Dan Fielding.

During a break in proceedings, the gang is eating in the cafeteria when the entire building is taken over by the evil Dr. Corrupto and his army of robot Corruption Troopers. When sassy bailiff Roz refuses to take guff from them, she is executed.

With the fate of the planet hanging in the balance, the small band of rebels decides to fight back against the tyrrany of Dr. Corrupto. Their only hope is to fight their way from the cafeteria to Harry's office, where they can use the judge's stash of hilarious props to fight the menacing Corrution Troopers.

Along the way, Dan and Christine fall in love and bailiff Bull has an amazing on-screen kung-fu battle with a dozen corruption troopers.

In the end, reliable clerk Mac saves the Earth by shooting himself and Dr. Corrupto into the sun.
