“Oddworld”
Movie based on the video game, “Oddworld: Abe's Oddyssey
CGI/Animated
Plot:
The Mudokons are a race of aliens on the planet, Oddworld. They are enslaved by the Glukkons however, who run a humongous factory known as Rupture Farms. Rupture Farms is responsible for many snacks on Oddworld, including Paramite Pies, Scrab Cakes, and Meech Munchies. The Mudokons work day and night for Rupture Farms, doing hard manual labor and suffering mistreatment. When one Mudokon, Abe, accidentally discovers that the next big snack that Rupture Farms produces will be made out of Mudokons, he makes a daring escape from the factory. On his journey, he attempts to take as many Mudokons as he can with him.
Wikipedia Summary:
Abe's Oddysee begins with the titular protagonist as a prisoner in RuptureFarms, from which point he narrates his story. He and many other Mudokons have been slaves all their life to Molluck the Glukkon, who owns RuptureFarms, which is known as the biggest meat-processing plant on Oddworld. Abe is a contented floor-waxer First Class and currently Employee of the Year.
RuptureFarms is undergoing difficulties: the ingredients of their three major products: Scrab Cakes, Paramite Pies, and Meech Munchies, are quickly running out, with the Meeches already extinct.]While working late one night, Abe chances upon the Board Room, where the various Glukkons are discussing their dilemma. After reviewing the situation, Molluck announces his plan to use the Mudokon slaves as new meat products called "Mudokon Pops!", frightening Abe into a resolution of escaping from the factory
Abe proceeds to elude the authorities and escape from RuptureFarms; immediately out, Abe sees a large moon in the sky, with its face in the shape of a Mudokon handprint, signifying the Mudokons as the "chosen people".Abe suddenly falls down a cliff, smashing his head; as he lies on the ground, BigFace appears before him in a vision.
BigFace sends Abe towards his quest: to rescue his enslaved brethren and "restore the lost land". He cannot accomplish this feat without first completing the spiritual trials of the Monsaic Lines and Mudokon temples. Abe journeys into the Monsaic Lines, from where he travels to the forests of Paramonia and the deserts of Scrabania. In each land, Abe completes the tests of the respective temple; after each one, BigFace gives Abe hand scars, one representing the Paramites and one representing the Scrabs.
Once Abe has both scars, he can become the Shrykull, an all-powerful demigod creature. The Shrykull stands outside life as a dualistic god, of creation and destruction, and of fear and love. With this divine power, Abe returns to RuptureFarms, rescues his Mudokon brethren and comes close to shutting it down entirely.
Abe is surprised, captured, and bound so he cannot chant to invoke the Shrykull. It is at this point that he first appears in captivity at the start of the game. As Molluck enters the prison cell and prepares to drop Abe into a meat grinder, BigFace holds a meeting with freed Mudokons at the Monsaic Sanctum.
Ending:
The good ending, which is triggered by the player rescuing at least fifty Mudokon slaves throughout the game, sees the Mudokons resolve to save Abe, and sees them chant together and invoke a powerful lightning bolt upon Molluck's pointy head. With Molluck incapacitated, Big Face teleports to Abe, frees him, and teleports him out to a cheering crowd.
*The movie will be in CGI, with CGI actors.
Cast
Since there will be few main characters in this movie, only these three are necessary to be listed here.
Andy Serkis as Abe
The titular character, who makes the journey to leave Rupture Farms and liberate the Mudokons. Serkis would be perfect for this role because he has superb acting chops, and specializes in CGI roles.
Hugh Jackman as Molluk the Glukkon
The power crazy boss of Rupture Farms. Hugh Jackman knows how to be badass, and he's got a bit of a funny side to him, which would personify the character well.
Jim Carrey as Bigface
The spiritual leader of the Mudokons. Bigface is kind of a parodied role, with some seriousness thrown in. That's Jim's style, and I think his voice would fit.
Possible Directors:
**Peter Jackson**
