MAGPIE/ Prompt #67
Nicolas Tournier/ Magpie Tales
LUNCH BREAK/ Spoiler Alert!
National Enquirer has the first pics of the stars during a lunch break, on the set of the blockbuster Dreamworks 3D version of "Romeo and Juliet..and Dracula".
"No matter how hard they try...they will never die". Already the catch phrase of the year!
Lady Gaga, a pale and virginal Juliet, passes the publicity shots to Russell Crowe,(a hefty Friar Laurence), who checks them, gets gravy on half of them.
As the undead Count Paris,(Daniel Day Lewis, left, flirting with vampire extra), in a daring portrayal, leaps, dances, seduces and sucks.
The Count gets a grip on Nurse,(Helen Mirren), who then enters Juliet's chamber to dress her for the ball. Juliet likes the touch of ruby red on Nurse's lips. Soon enough...
In a dreamlike sequence, Montagues and Capulets chase each other and blood happens. Juliet is caught in a deadly embrace by a masked man. Fatal kisses are blown and caught. Capulet cries out, "My kingdom for a stake".
The entire original score, (by Lady Gaga), is played on a single Lute, by the gifted hands of the not yet dead Romeo, Ashton Kutcher,(seen rehearsing).
The stars can't wait to complete work on this lavish film, where the stakes are very high indeed!
Thanks, Tess, for the opportunity to play with this wonderful painting!

Reminds me of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." I love your plays on words (leaps, dances, seduces, and sucks)! Brilliant!

You cast this perfectly!!!!

Hi Stafford Ray-
Guess I sold out all the way! But I'm sensitive at heart..thanks for dropping by..
Hi Helen-
Thank you..I love to cast books, recast movies..since forever!
Considerably better plotting (and casting) than most of the drivel out there today. This was very clever....and the pun at the end. Vb
Lyn, this is going to be a megahit! I can tell by the stunning press release. Too clever! Love the casting! Lada Gaga, Russell Crowe, Daniel Day Lewis... Ashton Kutcher, lutenist for Lady Gaga's score... Best vampire movie yet! Great farce!
Hi versebender-
Thank you..I do get twisted from time to time! Always like a bit of farce...
Hi Margaret-
We can't run out of vampires, can we? It's Bram Stoker's fault..

Such a fun and clever take, Lyn.
I too will purchase a ticket.
Hi Brigid-

Very busy ! goodness I would never make it there. Quite ambitious-
Hi izzy-
We Aries would make it anywhere! Thanks for the visit!!
I'm quite impressed by the cast members! Terrific spin on the 'pie!
This is fun! Wouldn't it be a hoot if the artist who painted these "masterpieces" actually had similar thoughts as us, and did the paintings as satire and jokes??!!??
Rick
Hi Rick-
You just made my day! The thought that there's a farce behind a masterpiece goes a long way with me...thank you, thank you!!
Hi Lena-
Thank you..can't wait to cast my next movie!!
This sounds interesting - we don't know any of these people here in Camelopardalis constellation, but would love to see the play!
Hi Raph-
These are pretty well known actors...well, not in all corners of the universe, I see..Allow me to be the first to introduce vampires to Camelopardalis!
