RATED R PRODUCTIONSITS WHAT THE WORLD IS WATCHINGThe BasicsBefore I go into the actual basics of the diary, I first want to explain why exactly I’m doing something so far from what anybody on here has done. Over the past year my passion for writing wrestling has diminished. I still enjoy it, but isn’t as satisfying as it once was. However at the same time my passion and enjoyment for writing as a whole has increased so this is going to not only give me an outlet for some of my ideas but also hopefully entertain and maybe inspire people to try some different things. Now onto the basics: This thread is the main thread for the diary. However, there will also be diaries within this diary. Confused yet? I know, it took Duaner two tries to understand and I’m not entirely sure what I’m talking about either. The basis for the project is a singular banner, otherwise known as Rated R Productions, which I will run as a sort of production company. Under the RRP banner is going to be a number of other diaries that I will write. These diaries will be the actual ‘tv shows’ that the project will consist of. Obviously these diaries will not take place all at the same time but will be staggered in a television season-esque way so that there is always at least one ongoing at any time. For an example of how the actual tv show diaries will look, take a look at an earlier project I attemptedThis thread will be the main thread. It will contain show and casting news, announcements, rumours and the like while each individual series will get its own thread in order to keep this, the main thread, from getting ridiculously clustered. Casting for each show will work in that I will incorporate ‘real actors/ actresses’ to play key parts (in the same way that I believe Chaz did when he tried the Batman movie diary). Other than this ‘open auditions’ will be held for each show. This is the chance for you to sign up for a part in the show. I will then use the best (or most relevant) sign ups and they will become a part of the cast. More information on signing up for shows will come when I announce the first project under the RRP banner. For now, enjoy and get involved. If you have suggestions for shows, casting or anything else then send me a PM. If you want to contribute with graphics (or later on with articles) then also let me know. Further expansion down the line is planned, such as a possible writing team for some shows if this becomes popular enough to warrant it. If you have any questions, then don’t be afraid to ask. I would prefer a PM but if you think it’s something that a number of people will ask or need to know then feel free to post it. |

OPEN AUDITIONSONGOING AUDITIONSAMONGST THE DEADAN EXPLANATIONWhile I will be creating several of the main characters in these shows, that is solely so that I can get an idea of the overall arc for the series. I need a basis to work around hence the ‘real’ casting. Despite this, one of the major contributions to this project is that of the signed up characters that will populate the shows. Which of course is where you come in. With each show I will be posting an open audition sign up. This is your chance to create a character that will be featured in the show. With each audition there will be two parts – the actor section and the character section. The actor section is pretty self explanatory. It is who is playing the part. This allows you to use the same actor in future projects if you choose, and to build up a ‘body of work’ that will follow you throughout the diary. It will also give you the chance to rack up awards such as ‘best male character’, ‘best moment’ etc. You are allowed to sign up as many characters as you like, but I can’t promise every single one of them will be featured in the show. If your character makes sense then I will try to include them in any way possible, be it as a main character or a recurring one throughout a story arc. I would appreciate it if any sign ups can be sent to my PM box. You can do that by copying the relevant audition form, clicking here, pasting it and clicking send. I hope you will all get involved and help this project to prosper. |

I think I get it. It's a real unquie idea but I just don't seeing it working. I don't know why, possibly it's too much for one person. I really like the idea and the linked thread to the "Corporation XIII" was a great idea and loved it when it was around. Might have been easier to start one show like that up first then if it all goes well then start this. Anyway, you seem quite set on this and I hope you will pull it off. Good luck.

AMONGST THE DEAD CASTS FIRST TWO LEADSRated R Productions has officially begun casting for Amongst The Dead. RRP today announced the casting of two of its debut show’s leads – Scott Michael Foster (Greek) and Spencer Locke (Resident Evil, The Vampire Diaries). They also revealed information on the two stars characters and confirmed further casting announcements in the coming days. Check below for the character profiles released by RRP.  | Daniel Griffin
Played By: Scott Michael Foster
Headstrong, intelligent and very adaptable Daniel Griffin is your normal nineteen year old. That was until a Zombie Apocalypse wiped out everything he’s ever known and left the world a tough place to live and an even tougher place to survive. Having spent the summer travelling with his girlfriend and her family Daniel was safely away from the big cities which were the first to fall when the infection hit, although the rest of his family weren’t as lucky and are likely all deceased. Kara is now the only person he has left in the world and he’s willing to do anything to keep her safe.
And that means anything. |
[/td][/tr][/table]  | Kara Jacobs
Played By: Spencer Locke
Kara Jacobs is Daniel Griffin’s girlfriend and a force to be reckoned with in her own right. Having spent the summer months travelling with Daniel and her family Kara was safely away from any big cities when the Zombie Apocalypse hit and therefore has survived the initial post infection weeks. Kara has a fiery personality but tries to keep a level head as the world falls apart around her. However when her back is against the wall she is just as dangerous as anybody else in this desolate zombie ravaged world. |

don't go further, I'll do this in a bit. Since there's been some confusion on this front I'll clear it up. The open auditions will be open throughout the series 'pre-production'. The sooner you sign up the better chance you have of appearing early on in the show but if your late to the party, or if your character leaves the show, then you can still sign up. In short, the sooner you sign up the sooner you may appear, but don't worry if your a little late, you should still get a chance to appear. |

Wait, what is the actor sign up part? I'll turn one in, but I'm confused about that. Basically it's your created actor who is playing the part. You create both the actor and the character that he's playing in the show. There's a section under 'open auditions' that explains it. Give it a read and if you still have questions shoot me a PM and I'll try and explain as best I can. |

AMONGST THE DEAD COMPLETES THE JACOB FAMILYWe revealed yesterday that Rated R Productions have cast two of the leads in their new zombie-survival show Amongst The Dead. In both of those profiles references were made to Kara Jacobs family and it was correctly assumed that they would feature in the show as well. Well we can now confirm who will play the remaining members of the Jacobs clan, all of whom are set to appear in the show’s opening episode and onwards. Peter Gallagher (The OC, Covert Affairs) and Lori Loughlin (90210) have been cast as parents Carl and Harriet Jacobs while Kay Panabaker (No Ordinary Family) completes the family as fifteen year old Alexa. Read on for character profiles.  | Carl Jacobs
Played By: Peter Gallagher
The head of the Jacobs clan and the father of Kara and Alexa. Forty six year old Carl Jacobs is very protective of his family and is more than willing to do anything to keep them safe. While he was formerly a very patient and caring father the stress of their situation has resulted in him developing a very quick temper and a stubbornness that is almost impossible to break through. He is not fond of Kara’s boyfriend Daniel Griffin and amidst the tensions of a Zombie ravaged world the two have a very confrontational relationship, both fighting over the right to protect Kara. |
[/td][/tr][/table]  | Harriet Jacobs
Played By: Lori Loughlin
Carl’s wife and the mother of Kara and Alexa, forty two year old Harriet Jacobs is the antithesis of husband Carl. Level headed and calm despite the infection Harriet is desperately trying to keep her family together regardless of the horrors of the outside world. Beneath her calm exterior lies a terrified mother and wife who is teetering on the edge, the only thing keeping her sane is the thought of her family. Despite this, just a single thing may push her over... |
 | Alexa Jacobs
Played By: Kay Panabaker
Fifteen year old Alexa Jacobs is the youngest member of the Jacobs clan and while you’d expect a Zombie apocalypse to change the dynamics of the older-younger sister relationship, you’d be wrong. Seemingly impervious to the psychological effects of a Zombie apocalypse Alexa remains a headstrong teenager with a mind all of her own. Smart and tactile Alexa is more than capable of looking out for herself and refuses to be treated like a kid in a world gone to hell. |
