If I were allowed to star in the movie of my choice I would like to be in a romance movie. I would want to play the girl that gets swept away by a valiant hero and fall in love with him. My lover would be played by Leonardo DiCaprio who is so dreamy.
The story would take place in the year 1967, the summer of love. My characters name would be June and his name would be Johnny. We would meet at a music festival in San Francisco, California. It’s love at first sight and they would automatically click together. The movie will be shot on the Haight Ashbury community in San Francisco. We’ll be dressed as flower children and possibly experience some drugs, but June won’t do them because she doesn’t like drugs.
Eventually the two lovers will grow up and get jobs. June will inherit $5 million dollars from a long lost aunt of hers and Johnny will become a successful lawyer. June and Johnny will always be in love and die together peacefully in their home together at a ripe old age.

Being an actress has never been a big dream of mine but I think it would be kind of fun to be in just one movie where you called the shots. If I were to star in a movie it would be an adventure along with having a love story to it. A love story would attract the female crowd where as the adventure story would capture the male audience.
I would be very particular about who my costars would be. They would need to be experienced to make up for my lack of experience. The starring male role would be played by Gerard Butler. One of the female actresses would be Katherine Heigl. She can be very serious along with super funny; she would bring a lot of depth to the movie. The other leading male role would be played by Patrick Dempsey.
I would like my movie to be filmed on the island of Cuba. These four characters would travel to the island for a vacation along with doing mission work. They find themselves in a large amount of trouble and scare when the citizens of Cuba do not want them there. They try to escape the island but the end up being caught and kept as prisoners for several months. Through out this time, love connections form between Bryce, played by Gerard, and Kelli, played by myself.
I think shooting this movie would be a great deal of fun along with gaining a large amount of knowledge of the movie industry.

If I were to star in any kind of movie I would star in a comedy love movie. My movie would not just be about some sappy love story. It will be a one of a kind movie that everyone would love.
I would want to pick an experienced costar that knew what he or she would be doing. I would pick Chace Crawford because in his previous shows Gossip Girls he is a very good actor and also very hot. My shooting location would be in the places I’ve always wanted to visit such as Paris, Australia, Hawaii, and of course I would have to film some in the U.S. I would want to shoot in these places because they remind me of a place I would go to be in a love movie. They seem like very romantic places. My wardrobe will be nothing to big just the usual jeans and a t-shirt.
For my action shots I would make them dramatic shots. Since this is a love story I would make it very intense that people would cry. Some of the physical skills I would use would be learning how to dance and sing. I would also like to learn how to surf as a physical skill. My movie will be the biggest hit and you would not want to miss out!

If I could star in any movie of my choice, it would be a comedy about a normal everyday family that gets a reality T.V. show. Once the cameras are there and people start to notice them the family starts to change and break apart. I would choose a comedy because I love to make people laugh. Plus if the movie is a comedy that means you would have some really funny costars with you on set.
My costars would consist of Channing Tatum, Amy Poehler, Taylor Lautner, Josh Harnett, and Katherine Heigl. The set for the movie would be based somewhere warm that doesn’t have a lot of rain or bad weather that would hinder the production of the film, preferably California. Next is the wardrobe, in the beginning of the movie they would be wearing normal clothes that people wear every day you know jeans and a T-shirt, then as the movie goes on they start to wear only designer clothes, shoes, and accessories.
My hopes for the film would be to make everyone who watched it laugh, it doesn’t matter in the movie doesn’t become famous or even earn a million dollars as long as it makes people laugh and I have fun filming it that’s all I need.

If I were to star in a movie, I would want to be in an action film. The setting would be in a city such as New York. My co-star would be none other than Channing Tatum.

The storyline would include a few bad characters with a machination. The movie would include many stunts including jumping from planes, bailing out of moving cars, and scaling the facades of buildings. There would be no need for stunt doubles because I would want to do all of my stunts myself.

Channing and I, being the good people, would put the villians to opprobrium. The feat would be dangerous and life-threatening, but our bravery will help us accomplish the task.

There would also be a love storyline in the movie. In the end Channing and I will fall in love and live happily ever after.

Finally, a journal question which puts my imagination to work figuring out how I would like to appear as a cynosure, if ever given the opportunity. If I were to star in a film of my choice, I think I know exactly how I would like everything to work out. Although I am not one to prefer a “chick flick”, I believe the setting would suit me best when actually performing on screen, especially when it’s going to be directed by Steven Spielberg.
The movie is set in San Diego, California. I play a stock broker who is in his mid thirties. My boss is played by Alec Baldwin. I’ve never had time for a family and business has always taken precedence over other matters for most of my adult life. Then, one night, I meet a spontaneous dimwitted blonde at bar, even though I don’t drink. She is riding a mechanical bull and flies off, missing the mat, and landing on my lap, vomiting everywhere on the spot. We are in love immediately. Missy, or at least that’s what she tells me her name is, is a shark trainer a sea world. She is very fun loving and out going. Through our time together, Missy makes my character realize how work has made my life empty and desiccated. Through this relationship, Missy and Chuck- that’s me- engender the best qualities in one another. We move in together and by a dog, named Sampson. The ending of the movie does not hint to the long-term status of our relationship, for it ends as we jump out of a plane together on our eleven and a half week anniversary. It is most likely that we will be life partners. The role of Missy will be played by Glenn Close.

If I were allowed to star in a movie I would choose an action movie. It would be called Tap Out. It would be shot in Las Vegas Nevada. I would be a high school senior that just moved to Las Vegas from Nebraska. Here in Vegas what they do for fun is not the same as they do in Nebraska because in Vegas they do Mixed Martial Arts. I learn boxing and jujutsu and work my to the top of the MMA world.
My costars would be Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, John Cena, and any MMA fighters. My wardrobe would be what any other high school kid wears these days. I love the action sequences and physical skills I learned. Knowing how to mixed martial arts is awesome. Who wouldn’t want to know how to do it.

If I became an actress and had the opportunity to make any movie of my choice, I would make a movie with a little bit of everything in it. I would want some action, love, comedy, and drama.

To mesmerize the audience, I would put in the coolest actors and actresses to be my co-stars. Ellen Page and I would play best friends. Johnny Depp would play the leading male role. Other actors would include Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Michael Cera, Daniel Radcliffe, Evan Rachel Wood, Mel Gibson, Jim Carey, Will Farrell, and Will Smith and George Clooney.

The setting of the movie would be somewhere in Nebraska in the summertime. I would choose this setting because it’s sunny and warm and we wouldn’t have to worry about bad weather. Another reason for choosing this location is because it would be different. There aren’t a lot of movies set in Nebraska.

I would want to make a movie that everyone would both laugh and cry. I would want the audience to feel everything that happens to the characters as if they were the ones starring in the movie. They would leave the theater feeling as if the movie portrayed real life.

If I could star in a movie of my choice I would like to be in a comedy. I wouldn't really care what kind of part I'd play. The fact that I got a role would be good enough for me. I would like to have co-stars around me who I see as funny people. These people would include people such as Seth Rogan. I would also like Adam Sandler or Jim Carey as my co-star. The movie would be a spoof about some serious event. I think that a action spoof would be the best. As far as costumes and such, I have no idea what we would wear. The funniest costumes I think would help out the most.
