Pre-Production
Title incomplete
Teaser incomplete
Filming ain't started yert
This was an idea that we had a long, long, long time ago, back when Randomness Productions first started. We made the teaser for it, but nothing regarding the film ever happened. A hard drive crashed, and the film was forgotten. Now, three years later, the idea has been reborn and revamped and now, production is about to begin on Randomness Productions' first leap into the fantasy genre, entitled "Legend of ÆxξǜŷþœЬәمůŗґг" Try saying that three times fast.

Outtakes on GoogleVideo and YouTube

Bishop to Queen Four (or B-Q4)
Teaser complete
Trailer complete
Wondering where this movie is? There are three trains of thought that you can have:
1. We've scrapped the idea, no longer doing it.
2. We'll do it, but much later than now.
3. We'll do it, but it won't be the same as it appears.
4. The trailer is the movie.
Four trains of thought!

Steve Irwin: Fly Hunter
It can be found on GoogleVideo and YouTube
It's pretty short (the credits are longer than the actual movie...) and it was filmed a while ago (in August of 2004), once attached to the Grand Idiot and His Red Wagon, which I have decided, after reviewing it, not to release. It would get too much negative reaction and I kind of feel it'd ruin Randomness Pro's reputation.
9/6/06: The film has not been well received on GoogleVideo, for idiotic reasons. I'm not removing it just because Irwin died, because it was filmed two years ago and it was uploaded a month before the fact. It is not meant to be hurtful. I'm not removing it unless YouTube or GoogleVideo explicitly requests it or removes it themselves. There are far worse things on the Internet than a movie that looks like it's making fun of a deceased person, a movie that was filmed and released before he died. To remove it would be pointless.

Nerd Test # 06
It is live on YouTube and GoogleVideo.
Made as a tribute to Angst Technology
It is actually footage we shot a while ago, but we recently found. We put it together and rotoscoped it. Turned out pretty well and it only took a few hours.

Episode .44 Recovered Footage
We recently recovered this and restored it the best we could, which is surprisingly good. It has the original special effects and sounds in it and we just tacked on a little disclaimer of sorts.
it's on YouTube and GoogleVideo

Lord of the (politically correct) Rings
"...we're not gonna change the title of a book that was written 30 years ago..."

This one will be released, we're just waiting for the right time to finish filming.

Ideas for other films (these are just ideas):

Comikal: Movie Retellings of the Randomness Webcomic.

A reimagining of Bishop to Queen Four, making it a sort of Chess: The Movie. All eight pawns played by the same person, both rooks, etc. Actually following a real game of chess. Only problem is, how can we do the board? maybe there is no board...

A reimagining of The Grand Idiot and his Red Wagon

A movie that is one genre for most of the movie, but then drastically shifts to a completely different genre.

A movie with no editing whatsoever. none. All outtakes intact. all screwups, everything just one big chunk.

A Silent Type Movie

A movie based on the game Clue, but with new weapons and places and people, in addition to the originals. With some references to the real movie.

Mythbusters Type deal: Does microwaved water make plants wither & die?
with Dr. McDoctor and Professor Van Helsing. And Sulu.

Geekula: Super Special Awesome Fudge Coated Edition

A parody of those insipid trying-too-hard-to-be-cool-and-not-even-bothering-to-realize-the-slightest-bit-how-mind-numbingly-proposterous-the-things-they-put-forward-are super-L33t-Sci-fi-we're-literally-saving-the-world-for-the-zillionth-time movies like "The Core" or "Sunshine". You know, fixing the earth's core with 10 megatons of energy (ha!) or rejuicing the sun 5 billion years before it's supposed to die naturally (WTF!?). complete with a ship that sounds like a vacuum cleaner in the vacuum of space, plot holes the size of Io, so many contradictory statements it's a wonder the story is a cohesive unit, and so many scientific inaccuracies and technobabble it's enough make Stephen Hawking stand up in indignation, that suspends less disbelief than a bridge made of balsa wood.
Coming this Jovian winter to a screen near you (watch, we don't even make that deadline; Jupiter barely has a winter)

All of the Grass documentaries are done like the first: no editing of the film itself and no planning whatsoever.

Soylent Magenta
or something with a name like that.
Soylent Purple, Orange, Puce, Black, Cyan, Indigo...Teal...BCB497 (that's a hexadecimal color type thing.), you get the drill.

A movie with the credits and title screen and such done on a TI-84 Plus calculator.

A full movie with a single song (like A Distance There Is by Theatre of Tragedy) as the soundtrack throughout the entire movie. A Distance There Is is 8 minutes long, so the movie would be eight minutes. Get it?

Saber 4
because...there's gonna be a Saw IV, you know.

Saber 3
The Ghetto Saber and the L33tsaber are introduced and a whole plotline involving them begins.

A new adjunct company called "Dramatic Deuce" or something. Doing drama rather than comedy?

The Story of the Ghetto Saber
or: The Rise of the Ghetto Saber
or: The Jedi Man Returns
the L33tsaber will make an appearance too. In addition to a red wagon.

A totally wacky movie that makes little to no sense. Completely Random.

Some movie that parodizes all those devil movies...hm.

John Madden Billiards
A billiards game as though it's a football game, with John Madden doodling weird things and going off on cosines.
or John Madden Teaches Geometry

The Time Shower
A guy's bathroom is a time machine and the shower is the controls. Basically, the plot is him trying to keep the secret of the Time Shower by getting another bathroom, instead of removing or remodeling the bathroom housing the Shower. Only he knows about it, but he wants his girlfriend to as well. Another thing: the toilet's a teleporter and the supercomputer that runs the Time Shower (the computer is located in the floaty) and is told where to go by writing a place down on a piece of paper and flushing it down.
Nice.

The Fly Hunter 2: In Memoriam

Ultima VII part II: Serpent Isle
A movie adaptation of the game. The two parts would probably be filmed in sucession.
We could easily do the moongates and we have a hat to identify someone as Lord British...
Problem! EA owns the rights to the Ultima series and I'm almost positive one would have to buy them. The fact that the game is abandonware means nothing, I don't think. I'm not sure if creating the movie and releasing it for non-profit counts...somehow I don't think it does, especially since they're porting it to the PSP...
So...this movie will not be released. Sorry. I mean this spiel for both Ultima VII movies. We might could do Ultima I and release it, but...I don't think it's as interesting as VII. I wonder if Ultima VI would be good ground. Hm.

Ultima VII: The Black Gate
A very true-to-the-game adaptation, complete with music actually from it. One of the only snags is the number of people...We have five guys, so that takes care of Iolo, Dupre, Shamino and Spark, but two girls, taking care of Laana and Julia. We'd need one more member or leave a few adventurers out in order to accomplish it.

The Family 2000 (working title)
a satirical look at the classic family of the 2000s, and how the kids have no support and everyone works...among other things.

Uwe Boll: The Making of Perfect Dark the movie
It's just an idea and let's hope it never happens, but this movie will chronicle the fictional creation of a Perfect Dark Movie, directed and produced by Uwe Boll, with a satirical twist and such. The fictional idea of the Boll's movie is to combine Perfect Dark with Perfect Dark Zero, though never playing the latter, giving direction to the prop manager instead of the actress playing Joanna. Perhaps the finished product will be viewed by Episode .45.

The Quinlingual Safeway
A guy/girl walks into a Safeway to buy some tape or turkey or something and is greeted by Marco, an eccentric Spanish speaking man who insists he speaks only Spanish.
"Hi... I want buy some tape."
"Heeeeeeey! Como estas? Muy bien gracias, y tu?"
"huh? You just answered your-"
"Se venden tu madre aqui!"
"....what? I just want to buy some tape."
"Como se dice, 'tape'?"
"But you just did."
"Que? Hey, Sibastien! venga aqui!"
A french speaking person comes in.
"Oui."
"*sigh* Cinta...adhesiva..."
"AAHH! Cinta adhesiva!" Someone with or Sibastien takes a sign appears from nowhere and shoves it a centimeter from the customer's face.
"Se venden muchos tipos de cinta aqui!" He proceeds to read the sign.
A German speaker enters, saying the German equivalent to "My pants are made of cheese!"
"Oui." followed by "Tape sounds good." in french.
At some point, Marco says "Vaminos!" and they all leave. A cashier comes up to the register.
"Oh! Do you speak English?"
"Vertical slash backslash vertical slash-"
"Oh, for the love of crumbcake!"
Also, at some point, a customer asks for and buys something with no trouble.

Misunderstood Symbols Anonymous

The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe

Home Alone 6: We're Squeezing as Much as Possible from this Franchise
or:
Psycho V: We're Squeezing as Much as Possible from this Franchise
or some other movie series.... Rocky?

The Booktime Hour reviews Scooby-Doo and the Toy Store Terror
A group of people sitting around talking about a Scooby-Doo book or other kids' book as though it's classic literature.
"Last week we talked about 'The Lorax'..."

The Remake Zone: Working Title
Once again, an idea on the back burner. It'll probably be the intro to a movie that's supposedly based on a William Shakespeare play, but bears no resemblance to anything by Shakespeare.

Thursdays With the Ring Fanatic
Its an idea on the back burner and is sort of based on the Randomness Webcomic. A guy, Ben, is a community worker and he is assigned to work with and take care of an apsiring writer or something, who goes by the name "the Ring Fanatic" because he has, as he puts it, "seen The Ring, The Ring Two, Ringu, Ringu 2 and Rings one hundred times each, in the dark, at night, with surround sound and the volume turned all the way up." It has ruined his mind and he's afraid of things like wells, circles and electrodes.

All Quite on the Western Front
A really short film inspired by a typo in an actual copy of All Quiet on the Western Front.
A group of people standing around with teacups while explosions are going off and gunfire and all that good stuff, talking in British accents
"More crumpets?"
"Bloody Manchester United..."

The Grand Idiot 2: The Quest for the Red Wagon (Working Title)
This is not a very large concentration of Randomness Productions as of now. I am actually thinking of taking the duels we actually filmed and placing them together as a different film and just make it like Saber, in one day.
