Steamer
Becomes Ghost Dump: The Movie
Confident
that Steamer will be the number one rated reality show in its fall
lineup, ABC is plowing ahead with plans to release Ghost Dump: The
Movie. The Film will chronicle the existential crisis of a non-wiping
dump and will be filmed entirely in a Carl Jr's bathroom. It appears
that Patrick Swayze will play the role of Vladimir Estragon - the
young junior night manager - who agonizes over the existence of the
log before him, and the non-existence of poo remnants on his toilet
paper; and, Jet Li as the senior night shift manager stuck in the
stall next to him.
Ghost Dump promises moviegoers Swayzesque inner dialogue, like: 'If
the poo doesn't exist, then I don't exist'; and 'If I don't exist,
then is that really Jet Li in the stall beside me, and if he isn't
in the stall beside me, would that make him in the toilet bowl beneath
me? Is Jet Li the shit?'
Whereas Jet Li's lines will be completely limited to 'Do it' and 'Yippy
Kai-Yah Mr. Falcone.' Despite Swayze and Li never having worked together
- with some wondering if the on-screen chemistry would be too contrived
- executives still green-lighted the $100 million dollar special effect
bonanza, because they hoped to cash in on the newly created Pan-African
market. But if forecasts don't hold true, meaning, they don't get
the Pan-Afro market, they'll at least be able to recoup their costs
in a North American niche hungry for more Caucasian and Asian pairings
(e.g. as noted in the recent box office success of movies like: They
call me Bruce; They Still call me Bruce, and Bruce Almighty).
Industry insiders expect Ghost Dump to be da bomb and predict that
it will easily beat the North American box-office record currently
held by Bringing Down The House. |
