Movie-Making Mess: Difference between revisions

{{examples}}

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* The first (airing order) episode of ''[[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' shows the results of this, while an arc in season two shows the process, as does the second [[Light Novel]].

* More or less the plot of ''[[Be Kind Rewind]]''

* ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]: The Adaptation'' was one of these. A bunch of teenagers took about a decade of summers to hack together a nearly shot-by-shot remake of ''Raiders of the Lost Ark''. They had to make five or six giant boulders and nearly burned down the house where they filmed. On the other hand, the final film is a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for everyone involved.

 

== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==

* ''[[Community]]'' has a variant in which the characters attempt to film a commercial, with several characters treating it as an actual [[Serious Business|film shooting]] and things go horribly wrong.

** In another episode, Abed's movie about Jesus, which is actually a movie about himself making a movie about himself making a movie about Jesus... ends not well.

* The entire plot of ''[[Action]]'' is Peter Dragon's attempt to make the film "Beverly Hills Gun Club". Said film is plagued by such problems as a drug-addicted star who demands a bigger codpiece, a director who drowns, a lead actress who suddenly puts on weight just before shooting (leading to an emergency liposuction), and so on.

* ''[[My Name Is Earl]]'': One of the people on Earl's list is a young man who is dying and wants to make a movie wherein he's the star. Earl becomes the producer.
