The Movie Industry Strikes Back – Act III Scene 5
Chapter: The Movie Industry Strikes Back
Location: Pirate Volcano Base
CUT TO
INT – Day, Mark is in a court room with a pile of legal books
MARK
That may seem like a crazy legal loophole, but after Glee found a legal way to rip off Jonathon Coulton, I wouldn’t put anything past entertainment lawyers.
Wait, their legal loophole is to wait until she’s declared dead by Soykil, then dispose of her and inherit her fortune legally? That…. kinda makes sense actually.
Wait…. except anyone watching the video will know the Soykils got the wrong girl. So… I’m still confused as to Mark’s plan.
You’re assuming that a) their video quality will be good enough to make out who’s being executed (after all, who else would be with Zortic and Splink) and b) Mark would have no problem doing a little movie magic in post production to make sure it does look like Zoie.
Now I’m starting to ponder how many fabricated “tragedies” footages had Mark edited for some political (and very likely religious) boundary pushing.
Not to mention all of the atrocities that have been covered up.
