Do you have the script yet?

Happy THACing

Here is another film idea, Im choosing between either the Fountain of Youth or this.

PLOT:
A young boy dreams of taking over the country of Mexico, he wants
to turn it into a beautiful country and name it...Massepiequa. That
young boys dreams becomes true, he works hard and makes enough
money to employ 5 people to be part of a Militia which he dreams to
turn into an Army. He soon is loaned 100,000 dollars by a British Man
and the boy sets sail on boats he borrowed with his soldiers. They all
had guns and the boy bought cannons with the money he had. He landed
in Southern Mexico and began to fire the cannons. The soldiers leaped off the
ship and ran down the Mexican Citys burning buildings and firing their guns
at members of the police force or army. Soon the Citys of Mexico were burned
to the ground and that became a legendary moment, the birth of the Massepiequan
Empire.

PART II:
The boy is named Matthew and crowns himself the King of Massepiequa. He then
uses Mexican POWs to do the work of building a royal palace. The King heads back
to America where lines of shocked people corner him. People considered King Matthew
the devil, others say he was born in Hell, but that will change alot.

PART III:
King Matthew's palace is finished and Matthew begins to build citys and builds a stone
wall with towers and cannons surrounding Mexico like a medieval border. People start
to live in Massepiequa, only a few people thought the King was cruel, others saw no
problem with him destroying Mexico and they help build the beautiful city's of Massepiequa.
The army uniform was White tight trousers, a navy blue vest with golden buttons and a white
strap and a black Bi-Corner Hat. The soldiers gaurd the wall daily and help prepare for the
next country to be destroyed by Massepiequa, Spain.

Watcha think of this one?

Nobody whine about double-posting... this post and the above were originally in different threads.

I'll be honest... sounds dumb. How old is this kid? How the heck does he convince this British guy to loan him $100k? He sets himself up as king, and every single one of his followers goes along with this rather than trying to usurp the throne? He attacks Mexico, and Mexico doesn't attack back? And even if they did (which in my opinion would be a far better ending than "they live happily ever after"), we have no reason to feel sympathetic towards this kid. His motivations just seem greedy and spoiled the way you've laid it out.

Interesting concept, but I just don't see this working. Go with the Fountain of Youth.
