From the insane loons that brought you Sharpe VS Hornblower

Comes Sharpe VS MechaHornblower VS Godzilla VS Cloverfield (with a cameo from James Brond)!

The entire thing is a sequel to this bad boy. Or maybe a sequel of a sequel. I can't keep track anymore. Long story short, I was telling Keidra about Tobias Menzies, of Rome fame, when she suggested that he become part of our little Hollywood plot.

"This has me once again thinking about Sharpe Vs Hornblower for reasons I don't understand," she said. Which sparked this IM conversation:

Me: Maybe if we do Sharpe Vs Godzilla VS Mechahornblower he can be Timmy, the kindhearted street urchin who teaches Mechahornblower how to be human again?

K.: HEH! Yes. I still think of this as once of the great unrealized epic movie ideas of all time.

Me: Then there's Sharpe and Mechahornblower VS Cloverfield and Mothra in the epic battle for supremacy over England! With a Cate Blanchett cameo as Queen Elizabeth.

K.: YES! Old wig wearing Elizabeth! And LOL at Cloverfield! We could sell it to that knock off movie studio

Me: And then James Bond could show up thanks to a time traveling device made by Q! And then M (Judi Dench) shows up, and the entire universe collapses as the old and young Queen Elizabeth meet!

K: Awesome. So we don't get sued, let's call him James Brond.

Me: And it's not Q it's P! Wow. We're on crack.

K: Total crack. it's brilliant People just randomly show up. No explanation. Like Seinfeld.

Me: No, we need a Delorean for Brond to show up!

K: I like how every few months this idea comes back again -- it's like it has a life of its own!

So what say you Hollywood? I figure this can't be as bad as Meet the Spartans, Mad Money or In the Name of the King! It'll have Regency costumes, monsters and huge explosions! How can you go wrong?
