Synopsis:
We want to re-create the rooftop scene and are looking for 2 male actors (ages 25-35) to play the roles of Tommy and Mark.
With The Room film being infamous for being so bad that it’s good and the Disaster Artist coming in December, we wanted to start a project that would be challenging, relevant, and could potentially go viral.
Preferably, we’d want actors who loosely resemble the just some of the physical features (hair color/style and height) of the original actors, Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero, but all actors will be considered.
Part of the challenge is that we’re keeping all of the original dialogue (yes, including the “Oh hi Mark” quote) but we’re filming, blocking, and lighting it in a more serious and gritty tone.
To our knowledge, nothing like this has been attempted before so we believe this has the potential to gain popularity.
