If we're gonna win a Best Picture Oscar, we can dispense with our own ideas. 90% of Best Picture winners have been adaptations. Virtually all those have also won Best Adapted Screenplay. Academy voters wanna consider themselves literate.
Shakespeare is out; he's been done to death, and who wants to compete with Laurence Olivier in the Academy Awards, anyway? We'll need someone more contemporary to adapt, preferably some author with (ahem) "multicultural appeal," to show how hip and sensitive we are. I'd recommend an adaptation of Richard Wright's 1940 classic "Native Son." We'll have to "re-imagine" it as set in Los Angeles instead of Chicago, of course, since most Academy voters live near L.A. And we'll need to update it to "some years ago," instead of 70+. (We can't have a crime story set in "now," that'd make Academy voters uncomfortable.)
We'll need a director whose "vision" works well with Wright's work, which is characterized by strong action verbs; that is, someone whose camera Never. Sits. Still. And someone who has been nominated at least once, preferably twice, but not yet won. Preferably someone who looks good on both daytime and evening talk shows, and can crack some jokes without seeming too weird and spacy.
And we'll need an underappreciated white actor, to play the top-billed defense attorney, and a white or asian gal 20 years younger to play his love interest (even though none of that appears in Wright's novel). And of course we'll need a black actor with lots of stage cred that no one ever heard of, to play the main role.
Then all we'll need is Edith Head to do the costumes (so she's dead, so what) and Ennio Morricone to do the soundtrack. And about $250 million. Then we're all set. One Academy Award, coming up.

CAST OF ACTORS
Director – Leo
Annabelle – JeanKimberly
Thadius – Boban
Store Clerk – Jac
Brett - Dagosto
Priest - Ynotleon69
The Director has yet to title this Academy Award winning movie and is looking for suggestions
It was the year of 1789. The world looked dark and dreary day after day. It had been raining for weeks and people were anxious and tired of sitting in the house waiting for the sky to clear.
Annabelle was lonely since Thadius, the man she loved, had gone off to war. She knew he would never come back….no one has yet.
She needed to go to the local bookstore again to buy the newest Harlequin novel. Another love story would bring her back to the days when she and Thadius went to the park for a picnic and found comfort in each others arms at the end of the day.
Perhaps she should erase the memory of Thadius. She felt guilty trying to forget him but her body yearned for the affection of a man.
This time she would take the book home and put herself in place of the heroine imagining that Thadius was there with her. Annabelle was confused. Should she try to erase Thadius from her memory and try to find a new love or should she continue to cry for him at night when she lay her head on the pillow.
As she walked the aisles of the bookstore, she noticed a classy well dressed man who was also looking for a book. She wondered what kind of book he was looking for. He looked like a man that would enjoy the opera but what if he was a tailor or the man from down the street who worked in the barn shoeing the horses. She had to know. And that’s when she wandered, ever so cautiously over to where he was standing and “accidently” brushed by his leg.
She panicked not only that she had touched him but she noticed that the store clerk had also noticed him. How was she going to keep the clerk away from this mysterious man. She didn’t know his name….she fantasized that his name was Brett. She had to make a plan. Perhaps she should go to church and talk to her priest before she makes a mistake. The priest might tell her that she should wait, that Thadius might come back from war.
The next poster can tell us what happened next…

That's a terrific start, Monte, but if I may make a pitch? Why don't we give the audience a dilemma Annabelle faces straightaway: she is wooed by both Thadius, son of a landowner, a noble and righeous fellow who has always been courteous to her, and the more humble, down-to-earth Lochman, a fine man too but only a clerk's apprentice who dreams of affording University....then, both are called to the war.
This way, Annabelle isn't just lonely, she's torn. She doesn't know which she wants. The war is dangerous, and maybe neither will survive. Should she choose, or should she wait and see if the choice is made for her? Meanwhile...(rest of the story as you proposed).
Whaddya think?

I think it's great Dag but you need to remember to give new characters names of our current CS members to match the personality of the character.
The Director has left the thread and I can't keep it going by myself. We need CS'ers to keep the story going as Leon just did.

Good point...Annabelle's dilemma, and her choices, are the emotional heart of the story.
My thinking is, the priest advocates maintaining the status quo, not rising above her station to seek Thadius, and instead settling for Lochman....while in counterpoint, a casual friend of hers, perhaps the washerwoman, says something much more blunt about getting what she wants, going for Thadius and disdaining Lochman. Yet both advisors come off as advocating their own interests, and to the audience, seem like obstacles to Annabelle rather than help.

Even though she was warned, the passion of a woman in love supercedes the concern of a man in a white collar. And as women will do, they cling to the man who shows concern for a woman's welfare. Could she now be falling for the priest too?

he sees the desire she is hiding but remembers that the man she choses will bring chaos and pain to all that she loves.. he resists her temptation but strugles with the morals that he is supposed to be teaching others.------ This thread is Archived ------
I'm bothered about Annabelle though. Clearly this story is about her, and her choices. But why should we care? Who is she, anyway? Is there nothing to her except seeking a man?
In 1789 there are a number of fields in which she could be pioneering without being radical. Let's give the audience some reason to root for her! And what about this war, anyway? Has she no opinions on its political aspects?

I thought of you after my recent post, in which I suggested "the washerwoman" might give her some blunt but sage advice. My apologies for not keeping spec. Annabelle should be more of a reader and an intellectual, and you, as the bookshop keeper, should be her confidante, her real connection to "the outside world," as opposed to the priest, her connection to "the other world." So I think you would play a pivotal role in the story.

Ant that's why I put Jac in the story. She, as the bookstore keeper, has an ulterior motive. She sees all kinds of men come into the store....she hears women gossiping....and now she see's a man she lusts for....but she also knows that the harlot Annabelle lusts for the same man. Will the shopkeeper (Jac) resort to start a gossip about Annabelle so as to keep Brett from being interested in her or will the shopkeeper just wait for her time to become the lust interest of Brett? It's only a matter of time...
