Almighty Studios

Somewhere deep within the outskirts of Hollywood, stands an abandoned movie studio. Although it looks abandoned on the outside, it is really the lair of Almighty Studios, a studio that only a select few know about. And by that, I mean no people.

You were all invited to the studio by a Mr. Small, who seems to have a way to get rich quick. You have come here to see it for yourself (and also because you're somewhat greedy).

As you all stand in front of a soundstage entrance, the doors open and a man approaches you.

"Greetings, I am Mr. Small! I have something for each and every one of you. You know those two guys who tried to get people to overinvest in a flop of a musical? What were there names... Ballyhoo and Balloon? Whatever. I have an amazing proposal for you. I just found $300 million dollars left behind in this studio. Don't know where it came from, but never look a gift bag of money in the mouth, I always say! Anyways, I will do what those two could not, and make money from the unchecked finances of an angered crowd! I already have my first idea!"

Mr. Small hands you all scripts. You look at them to see Mr. Small's To Kill A Mockingbird on them.

"I just bought the film rights to a serious adaptation of To Kill A Mockingbird from the Lee estate! However... Mockingbird will be a spy played by Leslie Jones, who must stop a plot to conquer the world by the evil Dr. Atticus! Also, her sidekick is a CGI anthropomorphic bird known as Finch, played by Amy Schumer! Already started filming with them, so if you have any ideas on how to make this worse, love to hear it!"

A regular red-haired witch in a futuristic outfit (Corva Penryu) raises her hand in response. Although the director wants to make a horrible film, this worker wants to turn this project into a live-action anime. Is Mahke wearing off on her in secret?

Corva exclaims, "I've got an idea! Why don't we add overly complicated fight scenes to the mix?"

"Sure! It can be like the great Michael Bay, we're gonna have so much action, no-one's gonna know what's going on!"

Corva just smiles in response to the director. She will get the chance to fight in awesome fights! What a fighting addict.

"l am looking for a stunt double. How'd you like to be one? Don't worry, I'll make sure you look nothing like Mockingbird."

"Of course," exclaims Corva as she creates an actual fireball in the palm of her hands. "Can Mockingbird do this?"

"Sure, as long as we provide no explanation on how!"

"Thank you!"

"Anything else you want?"

"Nah! I'm good!"

In reality, Corva is just excited that she's got a job, unlike her friend Mahke. Corva wonders what that purple-haired nerd cosplayer is doing now. Watching Macross (not that bastardization Robotech) or Mobile Suit Gundam, probably. God, Corva is gonna get the newest mecha show on Blu-Ray disc with her salary when this is all over. And maybe enjoy watching it with her, perhaps.

"Well, I have my first poster for the movie made! Here!"

Mr. Small hands you a poster, showing a tree in front of the moon. A tire-swing hangs from it and Finch is on one of the branches.

The tagline for the poster says "It's a sin to kill Mockingbird."

"Whaddya think? I figure if I advertise the movie to be like a serious adaptation, we'll get more people mad!"

"I love it! We're gonna get so much haters from this!"

"Now, I also got Jeff Bridges set up to play Mr. Atticus. He will look and act exactly like Atticus Finch! Ah, I'm so brilliant. Any ideas for what Finch should look like? Best part is, if the Lee estate gets cold feet, I'll simply show them clips of Jeff as Atticus, and they'll think we're doing a good movie!"

"Excellent. Finch should look like a ripoff of one of those 1990's mascots that were the rage back then."

"You got it!"

Taking out the template for a Sonic Bird OC, he removes all the clothes, draws in a naked torso, colors it in, gives it the eyes of Bubsy, and feathers that stick out on the top of the head, kinda like Big Bird.

"Whaddya think?"

"Works for me!"

"Anyone else got any other ideas?"
