Meh, sounded interesting till I found out there's no dragons.

Bahahahahaha. Do they speak English in What?

Lmao, you crack me up. I am actually imagining you starting with a soft voice then SCREAMING! Rofl, Brilliant.

reply

What a totally misleading title. If you advertise that there be dragons, there better be freaking dragons.

reply

The title alludes to the phrase used on maps for uncharted territory: "Here there be dragons." Although there's a mention of someone wrestling with their own dragons or inner dragons (which really should be "demons"), the title probably refers to the area of his life that the journalist's father doesn't want explored.

reply

Totally agree. Just like Mission Impossible. They made all missions possible at the end. What a junk title!!

reply

Moonknight,

Don't panic mate. There will be dragons. The director came round my place last night to borrow a cup of flour and apparently the word is this: during the Spanish Civil war the journalist's father found a way to manufacture a steel exoskeleton that was essentially impervious to all weapons of the day. The problem was, he couldn't find a power source.

Enter the dude who is up for canonization. This guy through his own dodgy dealings with North African subjects of Spain has harnessed the power to turn fissile material into a compact, highly potent power source.

The two of them manufacture a massive steel dragon: The ultimate weapon. Together they ride it across the land, firing bolts of molten steel into wrong-doers and deviants wherever they find them.

But the journo's Dad is driven crazy with the power and eventually him and the canonization guy fall out and go their seperate ways. The latter choses the path of good, turning his back on the beast they have created and devoting his life to being a straight up guy.

But the hook is this: during their alliance, wary of each other's true motives, and behind each others back they had both been building their own super-steel dragon with the ultimate goal of, one day... ruling the world.

The journalist's final meeting with his ailing father reveals the location of the super-dragon, still hidden deep beneath the catacombs of Madrid.

Will one man's desire to avenge his father lead him into battle with a guy who's about to be canonized?

If so, will it be aboard fiery, steel CGI dragons?

Will it be action packed and sell on DVD for £2.00 a month after it goes on sale?

All this and more will be revealed.

And the best thing is: They will turn this into a TV-Serie called "the spaniard Dragon" which will draw connections to the famous Series "American Dragon".

Now THAT is a movie I would go see....this plot sounds like I would be asleep in 10 minutes...

I'll give this little cookie an hour before we're doing the no-pants dance. Time to musk up.
Actually this is the working title, there will be 2 dragons.... Double Dragon!!!

reply

Yeah, that's actually pretty close to the truth from what i've heard.

Apparently the poster for the movie will be an image of said massive steel dragon swooping down on you firing flaming steel balls and the tag line is going to be:

'This summer, prepare to get CANONIZED!'



'What?! Am I holding a crock of sh*t? Is this hospital called Saint Crock of Sh*t?!'

reply

Do you even know what the work canonized even means because several times during your story you just threw it out there and you doing the same here?

LOL LOL!

@Vagabund I know you're being sarcastic, but that would be a cool story for an action movie

Not only was that marvelously imaginative and elaborately well done, but it was foolishly hilarious. Great stuff. I take it you are a writer (so am I). Good job..

Hilarious reply, Win! And an excellent take-down of Mindbender -- I need to add "scrotemunch" to my vocabulary.

I thought the people asking, "Will there be dragons in this film?" were either trolls or 10 years old. Take heart, Moonknight and Snakeprophet! Peter Jackson has purchased the film rights to the Temeraire novels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temeraire_(series)) -- but he's going to have to finish The Hobbit first.

As someone who likes both dragon movies (Reign of Fire rules!) and historical dramas, I have to say, I wish there had been dragons in this film. Sadly, it didn't live up to Joffe's earlier Catholic epic, The Mission.

reply

@Moonkinght No, there won't be any flesh-and-bone dragons in the movie.
The "Dragons" are a metaphor

So no dragons in There Be Dragons? That's gonna piss so many people off.

The end of the world doesn't seem so bad now that you're here.

reply

Yeah man.
I'm predicting world wide riots, couple of civil wars, and several governments being overthrown.

If it makes you feel better, there was originally a dragon. However, it was too shy to appear in front of a camera, so they cut its part. What a shame.

reply

Wow - thats the stuff that makes for a good directors cut. Can't wait.

reply

When I saw the title, I got so excited that there was finally going to be a dragon movie. I was really bumed when i say the synopsis. :(

reply

I heard Charlie Wesley is allowing the Norwegian Ridgeback, Norbert to star in this movie!

reply

"When I saw the title, I got so excited that there was finally going to be a dragon movie. I was really bumed when i say the synopsis. :("

Yeah, right. A dragon-movie entitled "There will be Dragons". That would be like calling Star Wars, err, "There will be spaceships" or Dawn of the Dead "There will be cerebral matter flying about" Even Uwe Boll could come up with a better title ... :D

But I sure hope Eurappa's plot-outline gets picked up by a major studio. We're talking the next summer blockbuster ... with religious undertones!

reply

Or a movie called "Cowboys and Aliens"? :P

reply

Or dragon wars--where two dragons are at war. The cooler dragon of the two gets its ass kicked at the end by some fruity one.

Still, though, the movie ended up sucking major ass even though there was a giant mini-dragon war on humanity.

Nelson would sum up this movie best.

Title sucks. Movie will suck. Dragons most certainly do not suck.

reply

You know...I wanted to reply to this post with the 'net meme "Don't know if a troll or just stupid," but then...I remembered...when I saw the title. My first thought was: cool, dragons.

And the more I think about it, I'm going to skip this yawn-fest and watch Reign of Fire again.

reply

This has to be one of the funniest threads of all-time.
