Pigs is Pigs

In keeping with this "Looney Tunes" vibe I mentioned in the previous post, and as I'm writing the script (in my head) it seems that the story is shaping up to be quite similar to an old short that I remember seeing as a kid called "Pigs is Pigs":



In the video, a young pig who selfishly eats his mother's pies and his brothers' food has a bad dream in which he's force fed to the point of almost bursting, then in one last indulgence he explodes, finally. The short includes a memorable montage of the various machinery used to force feed the piglet, a sequence that has been parodied numerous times, including once in an episode of 'The Simpsons".

So, apply this to brain transplants and you essentially have "The Shakespeare Procedure". A doctor discovers a way to transplant his brain into other bodies, but his motivations for doing so may seem pointless or selfish. His contemporaries discover his secret reasons and actually encourage him to undergo more procedures, assuming the escalating side effects will make him come to his senses. The film, as it stands currently in my head and on paper will include a montage sequence in which Dr. Shakespeare's brain is transplanted into up to 20 different bodies! Pretty ambitious, eh?

I am currently recruiting for crew positions but before I can do that I have to finish the script! I hope to have the script done within the next 24 hours of this post. Stay tuned!
