WP You are a movie producer sent by Satan. Your job - assemble the most difficult, entitled, petulant cast, the most arrogant director, and the worst film premise.

Satan wants to punish the film industry and the movie watching public in general. He sends you to create the single most unenjoyable experience in Hollywood history.

You can choose any actors or actresses, and they will be compelled to participate. You can choose any director and they must agree. You can choose any film premise and the writers will make it a reality.

Who/what are you picking?
