Box Office Gold

You may remember recently I shared with you guys my idea for a blockbuster action movie called Bear Hands: Enter the Ranger. As a result of the terrific response it's been getting at test screenings and desperate need to occupy my mind at the moment, I have decided to come up with some more films that are sure to entertain millions and turn me into a Hollywood mogul.

Today I will share my idea for an urban based comedy (That means the main stars are black people.)

Can You Dig?
The world of paleontology is one of patience, ancient wonders, and uptight old white dudes. That is, until Tyrell Brown showed up. *cue bumpin soundtrack*

Tyrell Brown always liked to dig. Flashback to him as a child in his small yard, standing in a huge hole. He yells for his dad mom to come out side where she sees him holding up a skull he unearthed. His mother's eyes roll back in her heard and she passes out.

Fast forward to current day Montana. A group of paleontologists are at a dig site painstakingly trying to bring up what looks to be a huge find. The group's leader, Edwin VanDerpol, rudely instructs the team on what they should be doing. He seems to be exceptionally tough on the beautiful light-skinned black woman, Jaclyn Monroe. Edwin becomes increasingly agitated at the group's work to the point where he yells, "We are finding history here people! This is serious! This is not some kind of party!!"

Right as that last sentence ends a loud and hilarious car horn is heard. All the paleontologists turn to see Tyrell Brown approaching in his personal custom bulldozer. He parks near by, jumps out of it and says, "What's up y'all! Where the Dinosaurs at!" This is when the world of paleontology gets flipped turned upside down on it's dusty old head.

Tyrell gets under Edwin's skin immediately by calling him Eddie repeatedly. He is immediately attracted to Jaclyn who at first turns back all his advances even though she finds them funny and somewhat charming. Tyrell also becomes friends with another member of the group named Charles Duggan, who seems to have never seen a black person before, but is ready to adopt his mannerisms.

Tyrell will antagonize Edwin through a series of comical events, such as attempting to dig up an Iguanadon skull with his bulldozer, which leads to Edwin plotting to get rid of Tyrell by planting trilobite fossils in his jacket pocket and accusing him of stealing them. As this goes on, Tyrell continues to woo the lady Jaclyn with his sparkling personality and amazing lines such as:

Tyrell - "They used to call me Triceratops back in my hood"
Jaclyn -"really? Why is that?"
Tyrell - "Cause me so horny, girl"

Obviously she, like any woman would, eventually succumbs to his charms. Also throughout the movie Charles will start to try and talk like Tyrell in a hilarious "lame white guy trying to talk like he is black" manner. Eventually he will insist on being called C-Dog and helps Tyrell clear his name and dump a huge pile of dirt on Edwin at the end of the movie. Tyrell will then lean over to Edwin and say, "Hey Eddie! Can ya dig?"

ROLL CREDITS

I'm open to casting suggestions on this, but I am pretty sure Jaclyn will be played by the lovely Garcelle Beauvais because I love her and her name is fun to say.

I do worry thatthis movie may just reinforce negative stereotypes in the minds of the audience, but after watching a bunch of these kinds of movies that seems to be the main purpose of them.
