Movie Ideas with Playa.info Characters

A small cast - maybe just leading characters

The plot line that will lead to the needed dramatic tension.

A few sentences is all that is needed, but get as elaborate as you care to

"The Cats Like Me Better"

DeniseA finds a way to afford her Yucatan jones, by cat-sitting for Susie and BabaLoo while they are away. When Susie and Baba return, Denise refuses to leave. She has turned the palapa into an odd synthesis of Mayan and ancient Egyptian worship, and has assumed her role as Goddess; with the cats dressed to be her minions.

Denise's departure has to wait for a solar eclipse.

Big Al and Nascar Duck move to Playa and buy land in between 2 very luxurious resorts and refuse to sell even for the 5 million dollars they are offered. They park their houses across from each other and they are quite a sight after the rich and famous come to stay at the 8 star hotels. Goobs is always humping Al's gf's leg and crapping on Al's porch. The duck starts throwing banana peels at Al's trailer. Al brings out his paint ball gun and starts shooting up ducks trailer............Ducks trailer has no drapes.........oh boy.........

On the night of the eclipse, PlayaCountryBoy dresses Dash as an Egyptian Dog God. Dash leads Denise out of the palapa and to an undiscovered cenote where she sets up shop as a Playa oracle.

Esteve shows up with a sixer of ice cold Modelo...

Somehow I see a re-hab or an AA meeting in the plot.

I'm thinking it's more soap-opera material around here. (Though, not quite as much as it was a few weeks ago. )

I see their pairing more as a crime-fighting duo ... streck showing off his physical capabilities ... lots of unrequited love and stolen glances once they actually meet ... just keep 'em away from a bar!

and the multiple personalities side of it could add a whole other twilight zone-ish type of persona to the show.

Not sure of a good title- maybe something attention getting like 'Flood!' or 'Terror in the Yucatan'!

A horrendous class 5 hurricane (is there such a thing? ) hits the Yucatan peninsula. The entire coastline to about 5 miles back from the ocean is under water.

Armed with advance warning from Jacko, who saw it coming all along, (global warming and all ) Anna and James and the kidlets manage to ride out the storm a few miles inland in a cave/cenote system.

When the cave floods, soon the water is reaching their chins and there is no escape (kids are on their shoulders) ....suddenly Heather with her man, Daddy B, and Jason appear with new, top secret military dive outfits with a special breathing fluid (think 'The Abyss') that will allow them to stay underwater indefinitely. Jason has his doggy and his honey with him too.

They had stolen the gear from a drug cartel versus policia/military confrontation they stumbled upon on the flooding highway- in the chaos they jumped in a truck loaded with the stuff and took off to the cave where their GPS and Blackberries had told them the rest were hiding. They suit up, dive in and take the other suits (there are even children's sizes- what a stroke of luck! ) with them to save the others just in the nick of time.

Together they all swim inland through the cave system as the water keeps rising and rising....until they come to this immense dry cavern filled with stalactites and stalagmites made of...wait for it...DIAMONDS!

They are rich, they jump around in glee and joy for about, oh an hour (long movie ) and then realize that riches and material goods is not what they want or need; they have each other and a nice dry cave system to live in, deep in the jungle, with openings to the outside scattered around for light and scavenging.

Knowing that the coast is flooded and the big bad world is not a place they want to be a part of any longer, they set up a little Robinson Crusoe paradise (think 'The Beach' but fewer people and not as hippie-ish).

They all have babies (insert some gratuituous sex scenes here ) and Anna teaches them all Swedish and they eat fish and Nerak's garden rats and lo and behold they find a big patch of wild maize to make tortillas and even some achiote to make the coatimundis taste more like conchinita pibil.

But....

Their idyllic existence is soon shattered (well, not SOON, they had time to have babies and all) by *drum roll* by the unexpected arrival one day of...Stewart G and Rita and Ryberg!

They had all been in PDC at the time of the disaster and had managed to escape the rising waters and make it to high ground (flashbacks show some of their escapades including Stew's run-in with a panther, think 'Apocalypto').

Rita had had it up TO HERE with the boys and was very happy to finally have some female companionship...but soon, things changed in their cave Paradise.

Ryberg insisted that Anna and Heather were doing an awful job teaching the young-uns, and he was much more suitable to form young minds, so he took over the school. Heather tried hard to open up a can of whupass on him, but in their world, somehow men were the 'leaders' again (how'd that happen? )

Stewart insisted that even though he just sat around camp all day and napped and ate that the food should be divided equally regardless of how much work each person did (all the while bemoaning that the food was awful and drooling and crying out things like 'tacos al pastor! my kingdom for some churros!' in his sleep, disturbing everyone.)

Rita was good, she worked like a trooper....but at times she did get a little in-your-face.

So in the end.....think 'Lord of the Flies'....or Survivor, but bloodier.

Last man standing....can you guess?

PDS!

Mark and his family had arrived years before and been biding his time hiding out in a nearby cave system (think Brando in 'Apocalypse Now') and when the battle broke out, he just waited until everyone had succumbed to their wounds (the children were fine) he swooped in and took the better camp. and they lived happily ever after.

Oh and he found the diamonds, and eventually they all moved to Minsk (which was far enough inland and actually quite temperate, by then, global warming and all.)
