David Almighty


Any one think the story of David vs Goliath could be a good movie for this series?

reply

I like it.

David could be played by Ben Stiller (God played ably by Morgan Freeman).

David is a workaholic father of three who pays little attention to his kids because he's in meeting all day. He forgets to pick up his son from soccer practice and misses his daughter's violin recital.

His small company takes on a larger "Goliath" business (headed up by Vince Vaughn) for a big contract with a sentimental old billionaire (played by Anthony Hopkins).

For all of his posturing it looks like David's small company will lose out to the larger firm. Depressed he decides to spend more time with his kids, skipping an important meeting with the billionaire. The billionaire likes that David now has his priorities right and gives him the contract. Vaughn is livid.

The whole movie is filmed in 3D.

I think audiences would expect an actual fight though.

Ok, maybe Stiller and Vaughn have a fight near the end over some mid-presentation disagreement. There could be some knowing wink to the viewer where Stiller fires a makeshift slingshot and downs Vaughn who thuds to the floor in slow mo.

Think about the story you just said... switch Vaughn and Stiller.... is that not 'Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story'?
