Jane Maraston and Susanna Shoom are two fun loving, sexually promiscuous girls, who after sleeping with a couple of mobsters on the first night of the music festival, learn of a plan to blow up Sunday night headliners Metallica, and find themselves in a race against time for someone to take them seriously. Drew Barrymore and Sarah Michelle Gellar have signed up for the lead roles, whilst director Francis Ford Coppola has claimed “You will see at least seventeen pairs of breasts per minute in this film,” after being accused of making ‘useless, sexually ambivalent movies.’

Supersheep
New Zealand set comedy in which a sheep gains super powers after being accidentally bathed in radioactive waste. “People have always wanted to see sheep fly, and solve crimes, and this movie will deliver on their wretched dreams,” producer Nick Stevens told us. Rumours that the New Zealand branch of the RSPCA have been investigating animal cruelty on the film set were quashed by a production insider though: “There’s no law against tying a sheep up with rope, and swinging it around on a huge crane. Not in this country, anyway.”
The Man Who Ate Everything But The Arms and Legs
Jonus Mailstrom, director of this summer’s highest grossing comedy ‘Watch Out For The Flying Shit’ has signed on the dotted line to helm this latest serial killer picture. “It’s time someone outshocked Seven”, Mailstrom informed us after we kidnapped his children, “And I think this movie finally should do that – considering the amount we’ve spent on prosthetic cocks, I certainly hope so.”

Miss Headremover
If you love Julia Roberts, hairdressing, and chainsaws, then Miss Headremover is the perfect movie for you. She’s due to be re-united with Flatliners co-star Keifer Sutherland, who reportedly paid director John Badham three million dollars for the chance to act alongside Ms Roberts, in the role of the ghost of her first ever victim. “I think that most people thought I died,” Kiefer claimed, “but by playing a dead person, I’ll prove to them I’m alive. In a dead kind of way, of course.”

Grass
After a field in Lancashire is repeatedly sprayed with a new toxic chemical meant to kill even the tiniest insects, the grass becomes alive and begins a killer rampage by strangling people to death.
“Hopefully at least half the audience will come after thinking it’s a movie about marijuana,” director Joel Shcumacher told us, “and the other half will come thinking it’s a movie about killer grass. And if you add those two audiences together there’s all the solid proof you need to show that this movie will become the biggest hit of all time.”

One Record Too Far
Obsessed Record Breaker Johnny Haraston becomes seriously depressed when he runs out of decent records to break – until insane scientist Professor Heidenbergh offers him the chance to grow the world’s biggest penis, which leads to, rather tragically, hundreds dying as a result.

Mr and Mrs Fluffybunny Come To Town
Arnold Schwarzenneger has signed up to appear in this cute comedy from Arna Selznick, the director of Care Bears the movie, after vowing to never make a big budget blockbuster ever again. “I read this book on world war two, and was horrified. I just never realised that guns could be used to hurt people. I feel that I’ve been such a fool. So from now on I’m only going to make hilariously cute u-rated comedies.” However, industry expert’s have attempted to warn him off this idea, claiming that he will be bankrupt by 2004, and living in a box underneath another, larger box, by 2007, unless he pretends to kill someone on celluloid soon.

The Kiddie Job
Heist move with a difference – the robbers are all under six years old! “That fucker Potter is no doubt going to be so successful that it’ll soon be law that all movies have to feature kids in the lead roles,” producer Tamsin Mosh told us exclusively, “so we’re just jumping the gun a bit to cash in on this trend."
The Runner
The Player meets Speed in this action comedy from Joel Schumacher, in which a runner on a big budget movie runner has a bomb attached to her shoe, and if she drops below 4mph her feet will explode. Not only are the producers of Speed suing, but also Microsoft, Nike and McDonalds, mainly due to their love of pointless court appearances.

A Sunny Day In Hell
When God (Danny Devito) is persuaded by Jesus (Tim Roth) to forgive Satan (an unrecognisable Mel Gibson) for his sins and make hell a nicer place to live, Lucifer can’t believe his luck. But his joy is short lived when he learns that a group of demons, lead by Alan Rickman, are intent on attacking Heaven and returning Hell to its former status, and it’s only a matter of time before he has to join forces with God and Jesus to save the universe. Expected to be released just in time for Xmas.

Hollywood’s interpretation of the sinking of the Mary Rose. Features the entire cast of TV’s Friends (including the monkey from the first season), Bruce Willis, Elizabeth Shue, Ben Affleck, Melissa Joan Hart and Harry Hill (as the ship’s jester).

kind of duel to the death to regain his honour.
