Movie Scripting

I want to write a script for a movie. A short film or something because I'm too lazy to write for a feature length film. I don't know what it'll be about but I know what I want.

I want:

- A hypnotist
- A contract killer
- A pretty girl that's very much like a guy without all the obscenities of man (basically, a perfect woman)
- A blind guy
- A character nicknamed "the reverend" for no apparent reason

I want them to be around a round table talking about stuff. I don't know what. Not about zombies for sure.

I also want to make a samurai film. It's about the top five samurai in a large city full of other samurai (apparently, you can't pluralize the word "samurai"). They'd also be talking.

This is strongly influenced from Shigurui but whatever. The top five will all have deformities.
  1. The #1 samurai is completely retarded and only gains sanity when he wields a blade. I completely ripped that off of Shigurui. Anywho, he doesn't say much during the conversation because he's retarded. [For those of you who don't know, I'll explain in the words of D.Money: "The concept is, he is so dedicated to swordsmanship that he lost his sanity. He's constantly thinking of swordsmanship that he lost the ability to think about other things." or something of the sort. Not his words exactly but I thought Daro (D.Money) ought to have some credit. ]
  2. The #2 samurai has only one arm. (props to Shigurui) He'll have a sort of one-sided view on things. Get it? Because he has one arm! haha. I'll figure something out.
  3. The #3 samurai is blind. (also props to Shigurui but mostly to Zatoichi) He'll look very gentle and kind but be completely filled with hatred for the world. Blind with hatred. hahaha.
  4. The #4 samurai is a little girl or a decrepit old man. Not sure. Either way, he/she is going to be super wise in a certain biased way. I'm leaning towards old man. Like really old. He'll talk of how the old days were or something.
  5. The #5 samurai is just an ordinary guy. He's strong but he can't compare to samurais #1-4. He'll just have boring ordinary views on everything because he's boring and ordinary.
They will also be around a table and talking about things. I haven't decided what. But I'll have fun and I want the script to be completely Japanese. For authenticity.

I'm excited for both. If anybody wants to help me, then please let me know. I'll dump most of the workload on you. :D haha.

Please help! :D
