I think it you make media of any sort (full length or short films, other forms of visual art, etc) you're kind of locked in to making it unnecessarily more dramatic -- take medical dramas, for example. I think Violet would play the classic villain archetype in sports films (maybe without the part where those types beat up little kids or whatever they do): she would be some star player on an evil dynasty team that probably plays dirtier than they're allowed to, whom the refs don't whistle because they're too subtle or whatever. She would really embrace the role of being a 'bully' unnecessarily on and off the ice in an attempt to make the protagonist even more likeable for playing their cleaner, scrappy style as the perpetual underdog at multiple levels (regular season into the championship). Her character would definitely go from being a dominant force to either 1) getting suspended for something crazy or 2) being handily defeated by the hero's team in semi-realistic hockey style, with lots of slow mo shots to draw out the tension for critical parts of games.

The film, named "Icebound Glory," is an entertaining sports comedy that prioritizes amusement over precision. The style is humorous and heightened, designed to attract a broad audience. Although the crew and actors have limited knowledge of hockey, Marian, serving as the hockey advisor, approaches his role earnestly and works to make the game elements as genuine as possible within the film's framework.

Marian welcomes the chance to be part of the movie, despite the low pay, as they view it as an opportunity to showcase his love for hockey to a larger audience. He is focused on ensuring the details are correct, from the players' actions on the ice to the precision of the hockey vocabulary utilized in the script.

In their brief appearance, Marian acts as a coach in a pivotal game moment, providing an inspiring speech to the team in distress. His brief appearance acts as a crucial point in the film, enhancing the realism and trustworthiness of the hockey scenes. In summary, "Icebound Glory" is an enjoyable and amusing movie that blends the thrill of sports with the humorous aspects of a Hollywood film.

Option 1:

First of all, I come into the project knowing that their goal is to make money, as stated. So I'm not going to hardline to include anything or preserve and "feel" of the game. The best money makers are blockbusters and we have to play to our audience. The movie is going to be a whodunnit mystery surrounding the SHL draft. Yes, it will be hockey related, but the main storyline will be driven by the characters (coaches, agents, players) as they try to find out who the murderer is. Advertisements and commercials for the movie will play up the aspect of mystery and downplay the hockey. As for cameos, Beck will end up playing a clueless player who just keeps asking about his contract despite murder and intrigue swirling all around. The best part of the movie will be the reveal when they show that XXXXX is the true killer. That cameo will be jaw-dropping!

Nothing Derek Martin does can be attributed to luck. His entire career was built on the back of hard work, dedication and meticulous care to his craft. Days and nights in the gym, on the ice, in the kitchen perfecting his diet. While the prodigal Mont St. Grégoire native may have slowed down in season 80, an uncharacteristic dip in on-ice form that can be attributed to many things, something hasn't changed and is unwavering : strong leadership. In a full and honest introspection of his place among the Los Angeles players, in the depth chart of the twice champion squad, he can recognize the rising talents and make way for their on-ice ability. Could the aging center keep up on the first line and in the first wave of the powerplay? Perhaps, not to the same level, but perhaps. But its time the young guns take the reigns of this team to usher it into its new age of contention. This is the feat, and while it might not be a highlight, consistency in leadership, in being a team-first guy, is something notable and worthy of recognition.

Our movie will be a spin off of MVP: Most Valuable Primate, where instead of a beloved monkey becoming a star hockey player, the studio is working with what they could get, and so a depressed and socially awkward meerkat becomes a hockey player. The movie will be called MVP: Meerkat Very Polite. The meerkat presents itself as very polite but really its just kind of quiet because of the depression and social anxiety. The movie tries to be everything MVP: Most Valuable Primate was - silly, action packed, family fun. Unfortunately, the meerkat stumbles and bumbles its way through the film, and not in the cute way. The scenes are cringe and/or boring. Unfortunately, the non-professional hockey players don't help matters much, as the on ice action is beyond not up to snuff. The one cameo Quazon Brosonchi received in this film was to utilize his speed in a scene where an opposing rival player speeds down the ice to win a puck battle. Quazon was so much faster than the other actors that the scene played very awkwardly in the film and further highlighted how no one knew what they were doing. (194)

Jacob Marsh was tasked with the impossible role of hockey advisor on an indie project titled "Threat Level Midnight", the script was solid as an action movie staring a secret agent Michael Scarn in his quest to save the world from a bomb from mysterious actors.

While Michael Scarn could skate, the logistics of setting up a believable hockey scene with a bunch of actors who've never played a meaningful game of hockey aside from lead actor Michael Scarn was next to impossible.

It was almost a full week of training in the books and they were no closer to making a realistic hockey game. Marsh's character had a cameo as famed hockey instructor Cherokee Jack who taught Scarn all he knows prior to the celebrity all star game in which Intel suggested the bomb was located in the puck.

In the end the actors didn't learn to play a convincing hockey game and decision was made (poorly) to interrupt a high school championship game for the shots needed. The home team was disqualified and it was a mess to say the least. That may be Marsh's last foray into Hollywood for a long time.

Option 2:

This in no way could ever be a movie. You see, the Atlanta Inferno are playing a normal every day game at home against Hamilton, but oh no! A terrorist has disguised themselves as the Atlanta mascot and are planting a bomb in the arena! Paul Bondage, being the undercover super hero he is, senses this and has to sneak away during the game to find the culprit. He and the mascot have a vicious, fight to the death in the arena's kitchen. This involves a very silly, but bloody fight in which the mascot is sliced to pieces by a deli meat slicer, and then stuffed into a small oven. He finds the bomb and in what could NEVER be in a movie, cuts the wire to disable it in the nick of time. He races back down to the ice in time for his final shift where he scores the game winning goal. The crowd erupts, everyone stands and claps, and Paul Bondage is forever known as the unsung hero, but for reasons they will never know.
