Grunion Runners 2: The Search for José’s Gold

Let’s start talking about ideas for this one.

From Cano:

I was thinking about the plot and intro. I thought it would be cool if we had all split up since the first movie and one of us hears about the the gold
He then rounds up the runners, after convincing them its not a sham, for one last try at becoming legends

and then I thought the turning point in the movie could be that the gold story was not gotten from a reliable source. and the person who got everyone together knew this but just wanted to be around his pals again. In fact he received the info from a some ninja on the street.
Here comes another twist- the ninja is trying to get us all together and knew he could by telling the story. He is out to kill us for…I dunno not giving him enough lines in the first film?

I sent Eric an email asking him to take some footage of hitchhiking, bumming around in New Mex… on his way back to Cambria…

What are all your ideas?

Is that a direct quote? Was Cano overly excited while typing that or something?

I love the idea though. Ever since he told me it I’ve been trying to think of a good story for Seymour. Nothing outlandish. Cano was thinking that I’m a public speaking professor now. I was leaning towards MC on a late late night smooth jazz radio station, or something along those lines. We could have the station that I’m on be on the radio constantly whenever someone is driving around, make the station another character kinda like the ole’ KBIlly Radio from Reservoir Dogs.

Cody and I have been talking about ideas for the movie… or more like cody has been telling me his ideas and i’m taking credit for them… but yeah, he had some pretty good ones… one was that when we finally find the cave its just filled with empty bottles of Jose Cuervo and were like “oh, theres no gold, jose’s just a drunk” and then we’d just get billys sister to play billy for the scene we kill him off and never explain why he’s a girl… I dunno, cody has a list, so we should go over it when everybody comes back

maybe the ninja is just making it all up on the spot when he is telling him about the gold, “I have a tale for you, of unsurmountable treasure… The Legend of…of..(cue ninja looking around semi panicked, his eyes come to that of a street bum sipping on a 40′ of jose cuervo- fast zoom in for added effect) Jose’s Gold!”

hey ya i had a few scenes worked out and an overall story arc (rough) i cant log in atm and have been without internet access for about a week hence the lateness of my post. But that should be rectified soon. Ya anyway my plot kindof depends on whether or not eric is here since he would be key, as is dylan. I had a thought that kris was deported for firing his gun into the ocean at the cove on a sunny day in front of like 40 kids and joe is his little brother. The “jose cuervo gold” thing was just a funny word pun because its a type of alcohol. It’s essentially a two fold plot wherien dylan finds the map and eric has murdered billy and is trying to cover up all of the signs along the way. This would conclude with a cameo by billy now played by his younger sister which i just thought would be very symbolic and hilarious. this is very brief and i sortof had more actual jokes written out…but ya theres your general thing that i had going (o and jose is in the first person perspective like how speilberg shot the sharks perspective in jaws)

haha, I like both ideas (Cody’s and Dylan’s). Combine?
