pirate boy Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 There's going to be a completely different actor for Fester. The only way that the audience could even contemplate that these two characters are the same person is that they are going to wield around the same sword. But basically what'll happen is Fester'll double down behind a giant table with a cloth over it. LeChuck'll pop up and shred like a second pair of Fester clothes. Maybe include like a rubber mask or something. But there can be like a quick spray from the fog machine. It'll be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guybroom Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 why can you not use a mask and cloathing that can just be taken on and off very quickly? It would look better if the audience can see the transformation on stage. What are you doing with the script? how close to the game is it? and are you using all the sets? like paco vink's comic version he skips some stuff out. And I've seen the world of monkey island has a small thing about the play. (no i'm not being payed to link you to them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samnmax221 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 For the transformation just release a buncha smoke and quickly change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 There's probably a lot of prostetics that need to be put on for lechuck, two seperate actors would be better. Will the sword be detailed in such a way that some people would be able to notice it's lechucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you finished casting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate boy Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 Yes. The cast was casted back in December before break. Scripts have been handed out and people have been slowly looking over their lines. We aren't allowed to use the theater until March because the musical has first dibs. SO, any meetings we hold between now and March will have to be held outside of school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guybroom Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Just a thought, but for the casting have you tried for the voices as well as (i would guess) looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samnmax221 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 THe problem is there were no voice actors in Secret of Monkey island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate boy Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 I think what he meant was when I casted the show was I also looking for voices similar to that in the game Curse and Escape? No, I went more on the lines of actors abilities and somewhat their overall appearance. I hope and encourage them to play the games. If they want to base their voices off of those in the game then that'll be left up to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guybroom Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Fair enough. Why do i get the feeling you've casted/directed a play before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate boy Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 I directed, produced, and stared in a play that I wrote last year. I was given less than four weeks to pull together a show meant to be a film. And half of the actors were meant to be women. So I had to make amens and change a bunch of stuff. So I am coming in to Monkey Island with quite a bit of knowledge from the previous go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Just a suggestion, but you should probably make them only play the first 2 so they're not swayed b y the voices put on in the second 2. That way they can make the character their own and play it how they seem fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guybroom Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I agree - I would play guybrush as MI3. I would not play as MI1 or 2 execprt for the scrip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate boy Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 I think some of the people would get frustrated with the lack of sound. I swear sometime that half of our drama department suffers from ADD. But I'll definately suggest the idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Understandable, if you weren't a fan from the beginning, it'd be hard to get into it now with little sound and poor graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scumm local Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 very good ! maybe it would be best to send it to ron gilbert cause i cant see lucas arts wanting you making a new versioun if you do manage to do this dont involve lucas arts in any features trust me it will ruin it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scumm local Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 it was easy to miss but if hes gonna ask for their permissioun thell want to be involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 He just asked them for permission to put on a play. I doubt they'll get that involved, big companies do this all the time. And ron gilbert doesn't have any say in the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scumm local Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I thought he was making it into a game i cant imagine someone making the secret of monkey island into a play it wouldnt be funny it wouldnt be able to have a dtory with sense can you see guybrush picking up tons on stage until eventually stopping a wedding i misunderstood his title good werk pulling it off in your back yard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
