Righto, here's the synopsis.

3 people.
Daniel, Ray & Tia.
I believe that Tia is married to Ray, but is getting a bit on the side from Daniel, a hot superstar (pop singer?)
Ray's the producer/best friend.
HEAPS of drugs involved.

Ray snorts/takes/whatever some drugs, and passes out after a fight with Daniel at Daniel's home.
He wakes up, and finds himself in jail, and then is taken to K-11, a section in the jail run by Johnson (the gay, pressuring guard/super intendent) and Miss Nava, a nice, and sweet woman whom is appreciated by the inmates in K-11.

Ray believes that he's in jail for drugs, and isn't told of the real reason why he's in jail.

He meets Butterfly (a sweet, schizophrenic 19 yr old boy whom believes he's a girl...I'm a bit confused with how Butterfly's going to portrayed, but I do know that Kristen Stewart is playing Butterfly.), Mousie/Mousey [scriptwriters keep changing the spelling through the script] (the 'woman' of K-11. Ruler. Dictator. Manipulative Bitch :D I'm pretty sure that's Nikki Reed's character), David (Mousie's husband (?) & Crystal (David's *beep*-buddy when Mousie's not around.)

There's also Granny, Jackhammer, Detroit and various other characters that make up K-11.
Basically it's told through Ray's eyes on how he got into jail and how he's coping.
He goes through withdrawls, which Butterfly helps him with. Then in return, he helps her/him cope when Detroit (a child molestor & rapist) decides that Butterfly is 'his'.

Ray struggles to comprehend WHY he's actually in K-11, and his answers are finally given to him when he sees a newscast on TV in one of the jail rec rooms.

Bascially:
this movie is full of sex, drugs, bloody, sweat & tears.
Jules Stewart writes a bloody good script :P

Thanks for the synopsis. It'll be really interesting to see how the character of Butterfly is portrayed, especially since it's a female actress playing a guy who thinks he's a girl. Haha, confusing.

that sounds retarded

If you think it sounds retarded, then don't watch it

im not planning to, i was just curious what it was about since i am an avid kevin smith fan

reply

It's called creativity. Things would get boring if script writers didn't try push things further and give us something different to watch. Try not to be so closed-minded, eh?

~Dawn~

reply

im not closed-minded, trust me. the story just doesnt sound appealing to me on paper. why is that such a big deal?

reply

I wish my mom wrote bad ass scripts and put me in as a lead character. I don’t understand though... Is Ray gay after k-11 or was he just a little curious in jail?

If I was in jail with Kristen Stewart and Nikki Reed you could call me gay all day to my face. I really am interested to see how this turns out.

Nice work Jules.

reply

from an interview i read with nikki reed, kirsten and nikki will play male characters..

reply

I don't doubt that the script is good, but it having Kristen Stewart in it makes it VERY unappealing! If her mom wasn't directing it, I REALLY doubt that she would have gotten the role. So far, everything that I have seen her in is very monotone. She is not a good actress. People think that she's very "edgy" because she puts off that "I don't give a sh*t" attitude... she's not edgy, she just sucks at acting. Now I'm sure this will upset some of her twi-hard fans, but when you grow up and watch her Twilight movies again, you'll understand what I'm saying.

Oh, where is Hollywood going? What happened to casting REAL talent????


Well I got side tracked... I'm really not sure how well it can be adapted to the screen... I'm sure it's fine on paper, but I'm not so sure it will be very good as a movie.

reply

To be honest, Kristen was a good actress - in Panic Room.

It's funny to see someone become a worse actor/actress after growing up, instead of improving.

It's not a big deal that the film doesn't sound appealing to you, I just hate it when people make moronic comments like "that sounds retarded". It's rude and unnecessary.

~Dawn~

reply

ok, i will revise me comment then:

"that sounds particularly uninteresting to me personally, although i'm sure others will be interested. however, i don't plan on seeing it"

better?

reply

no.. i didn't like either of them.
perhaps you should only comment in e-mails addressed to yourself and then see if you approve.
stop trollin our threads.

reply

i dont think its trolling to express your opinion. i didnt purposely come on this board to diss the movie. i came on it to see what the movie was about.
and as for you not liking my comment, i couldn't give a *beep* have a nice day!!!

reply

fine... you win.
but when this film is released and you love it i dont want to hear it.
cause you probably will.
and if you dont, then *beep* me.


reply

Plus your opinion can’t be that valid if you haven’t seen the film or read the script yet. So there isn't a lot of credibility in your expression of retardedness

reply

wow
people need to cool down for real.
i never said the film sucks or it WILL suck or anything. so chill. i said i dont want to see it, it doesnt appeal to me (that was my revised and more thought about way of phrasing it). why is that such a big deal? if i love it, then awesome. if i hate it, then awesome. if you love it, good for you. but you arguing with me because a movie doesnt appeal to me and you want to see it doesnt mean *beep* to anyone but you.
if you said a movie i wanted to see looked like total *beep* i honestly wouldnt care bc that is your opinion and you are entitled to it.
i hope you have many wonderful cinematic adventures.
nothing but love!

reply

I have to agree with broadwaygirl on pretty much everything. Everyone needs to chill out and this movie DOES in fact sound retarded. on paper, to hear about it. Seeing it though? maybe it IS good. nobody said it IS retarded, we just said it SOUNDS retarded. And if y'all are getting bent outta shape about the use of the word retarded then my lord! gimme a break, retarded is just a word, it doesnt make the anyone immature or stupid or whatever, just a word. This movie sounds lame. anyway...now that i've ranted...I'd probly only watch this if Kevin Smith is REALLY in it, right now it just says rumored. its like Catch and Release, had he not been in it i would have never watched it.


I'm so tired Thtephen...I'm just so tired

reply

oh ftfo, how wonderful it is to see there are actually some other sane people on imdb boards :-)


and yes, i totally agree with you about catch & release!

reply

I guess enjoying a script like this one does have to make you a little weird.
And I have to agree, Kevin smith is a badass.

But I was starting to enjoy checking this board on a daily basis just to see what was on broadways mind after posting.

It seems that every now and again you will see one thread that just dominates the hell out of all of the others with matchlessness intellect. This one is probably getting further and further away from that moment. Not that I’m helping.

*beep* me

reply

hahahaha the "beeps" are hilarious

uh dont judge a person you only know through imdb posts. you're telling me not to judge a movie i dont know anything about, yet you are judging me and calling me mindless. thats called hypocrisy. yes i like zac efron (that has nothing to do with anything) but i also like a lot of "grown up" movies and actors. so shut your mouth and we can all have our opinions.

reply

What does "Movie's defeat boredom" mean? Does the movie own the defeat?
I think you mean "Movies defeat boredom", or "Movie's defeat over boredom" - chose carefully, they have different meanings.

reply

Theres only 2 people trolling this thread as far as I can see, and neither of them is Shar.

both of you judgmental twats should consider, that telling someone off becuase they have an opinion means that YOUR the one whos rude and judgemental.

"Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit" Knew there was a reason i liked the floor ;)

reply

Actually, this sounds REALLY FU**ING BORING. No offense, it just sounds really dull. Not to mention Kristen Stewart VERY DULL.

reply

That sounds retarded


Damn right..

reply

If that's the Synopsis then I don't want to see Jason Mewes in it. Nor Kevin Smith. I think they've had enough problems with drugs for a life-time.
Mewes was on various drugs for years and Smith kept trying to get him clean. He made life living hell for everyone around him. But he's been clean for like six or seven years now finally.

hm sounds cool. I wonder why he's really in K-11. I'm anxious to see this one.

reply

@not_happy_jan: You referred to the character as schizophrenic but I believe HE is autistic.

I am amazed that this movie is happening. I am autistic and trans... not much of a Twilight fan but to each their own. I am interested to see how this goes. I'm also someone grossly offended by the word "retarded" being used as a perjorative. It is ablist and along the lines of referring to something as "gay" while not actually intending to make comment about sexuality or gaiety.

reply

I am hesitant to read the synopsis because of the spoiler bar thing all over it. Does it actually give away the entire plot or does it just explain the concept? I'm curious but I don't like having movies spoiled for me.

reply

You say that she writes a good script.
How do you know? this is the first one she has written.

reply

I am hanging out for this!

~k

reply

yeah, the synopsis (based various article snipits n other comments posted that i've read) is a little confusing to me, but this could be a rather interesting film when its done. be nice to see a few films that make you think once in a while rather than spelling it all out for you straight away.

reply

P.S. Despite my PC spiel I am a huge Kevin Smith fan. I can find humor in things that are offensive but there has to be some logic. Anyhow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-11_(film)

I would like to remain optimistic about this film that could easily go ANY direction.

reply

Does anyone else think this may be a lame attempt to Americanize the Korean film "Old Boy"?

reply

I thought of Old Boy too when reading this. Nothing will compare to Old Boy. It's in it's own category IMO.

reply

This thread is freaking hilarious. It's basically two posters fighting about whether the script sounds good or not. . .


But, yeah, I agree it sounds "retarted".

reply

Don't know about the script but by the time the movie releases, i'm sure this thread will become more entertaining than the movie itself....

It's about your mom. She's locked in the homosexual wing of the county jail. She rules that place and because of this they don't realise she's actually female, they think she's a homosexual male.















Just couldn't resist, sorry. :E
