I know I've been talking about it for a while, and it keeps being something that hasn't happened yet, but my wife is going to be starting a production company once her deal goes through. So if this ends up being something that can be produced on an independent budget it is possible it could really happen.

That aside, I think Roger could merge well with the Hagbard Celine/Jubal Harshaw/grouchy sage with a cigar archetype.

Provided he's happy to be portreyed I was thinking the TGRR > Howl transformation could make a good sequence.

Also I'm thinking;

Setup;

A Meeting where {Something happens} that sets up action.

The characters split into groups for different adventures.

The consiracy unravells.

The villan is revealed.

Possible twists.

The end.

"The Great Takeover" would be a good pre-sequel  :lol:

Good luck using the search function to find it, for i dont know how to use it (if it does work indeed).

I'm not as conversant in Trope, but I can see Nigel as someone who seems quite normal but is secretly weirder than anyone.  Fred would make a good spunky sidekick sort.  Squid strikes me as the scary as fuck under a controlled exterior sort.

Suu should get more badass fighting scenes than the others, since she's actually a swordswoman, but I could see a bit where squid pulls out a concealed weapon and blows some badguy the audience didn't know was there away.

Also, you should add Church Militant to Suu's tropes. Battle nuns and all that.
