User:Crazyboy899/Metropolis (Remake)

The Metropolis Trilogy is the fake movie inside Joseph Davison's mind at the moment. It's is expected to be made by 2027 if Joseph Davison's schooling goes well.

Metropolis is officially the highest budget film of all time, with a £10 billion budget and is also the highest grossing film, grossing 10 times as much as the budget. Famed film critic Ian I. Dontexist said:

""Probably most of the gross came from me. I must've seen all 3 movies at the cinema 100 times, and no exaggeration. I bought so many copies of the DVD and the Bluray, pretty much every kind of media it came on. I couldn't stop. I loved it. I need this movie everyday, and I haven't stopped watching it.""

History
''Note: None of this information is remotely true, except some details such as where I got this idea from, this movie is not real and it's only an idea. Remember, ideas are bullet-proof, true comments are marked by a comment in the wiki markup''

The idea dates back to 2007, the director was sitting in a Maths Class at his school. Joe had a bag full of fake movie posters written on A4 paper, usually the back of late homework assignments or spare peices around the classroom, some of these posters were ideas for films Joe wanted to make, but in this Maths lesson, Joe had an idea. He quickly scrawled down a poster advertising a remake of Metropolis as a trilogy. Between then and making the film, Joe revised the poster and brought up a film group called JD Films.

Plot
The plot is rather loosely based on the original storyline, while the first movie almost exactly sticks to the original, the 2 sequels are expanded, while critics say the expanded storyline fits perfectly. Many said Fritz Lang would have probably done the same.

Metropolis I
In the first movie, the movie opens up explaining how the city of Metropolis came to be, starting with a second rise of the Nazi party. But human colonisation to Mars and several moons hindered the Nazis plans to create a second Holocaust. Not even the people of Germany actually knew they were being led by the Nazis. The newly formed UPN (United Nations and Planets) discovered the plots 10 years after their rise and in 2132 the Nazis were excommunicated and all the members sentenced to life imprisonment on the newly created penal colony on the edge of Titan. To apologise, the new German Government revealed the "Metropolis Project" where safe mega-cities would replace the major cities of every country, starting with Berlin. The successful project demanded new technologies and the human race were soon able to convert Atmospheres and go deeper into space while on Earth, the Metropolis Project continued.

No one actually knew that the Metropolis Project required human labour. Beneath Metropolis, human workers had to power the city by hand, spotting this, Freder (portrayed by the Director, Joe Davison), the son of Joh Frederson (the president of Metropolis and Earth) enlists the help of the mad scientist Dr Rotwang to create an army of "Machine Men" to replace the human labour, Rotwang agrees but secretly creates a second batch that he hoped to unleash and take control of Metropolis.

Towards the end of the movie, the workers revolt agains Joh Frederson, and Freder, chosen as the "Meditator" by the strange religious girl Maria has to struggle to reunite the workers with the people and reveal the new Machine Men. Dr Rotwang tries to stop him, in case he reveals both armies (the rebellious Machine Men and the workers) and tries to kill him. The movie ends like the original and Freder kills Dr Rotwang by pushing him off a Cathedral roof and setting free the workers, immediately replacing them with Machine Men.

The movie ends with the camera panning downwards underground and revealing the secret killer Machine Men, their eyes glow and the credits immediately start with a picture of Fritz Lang and the words:

"Thanks Fritz"

Metropolis 2
Metropolis 2 starts with Freder, the new President of Metropolis and Earth inspecting the new Machine Man labour. He and Maria, who are now married, go around performing various tasks.

About half an hour into the movie, Freder and Maria go to dinner and are interrupted by a Machine Man who breaks through the walls and announces: "FOR OUR LEADER - FOR OUR GOD - FOR OUR MASTER - FOR ROTWANG"

The Machine Men gain control of the city and put the residents to work. It is revealed that the Machine Men were planted with a chip that enabled them to learn, Rotwang had injected memories of himself into the chip and the Machine Men become intelligent after a while. They learn they must preserve Rotwang's brain and they create a larger Machine Man body to host it.

Rotwang, the new "Master of the Galaxy" commands his new army to reach out to Mars and take control of the human extra-terrestrial colonies.

By the end of the movie, all of Germany is enslaved and again, it is mysteriously hidden from the UPN.

Metropolis 3: Uprising
With the Machine Men completely enslaving Germany and smaller European Countries, Rotwang plans to spread out his conquest to the UK, this was a big mistake.

Freder, who is now being forced to work, quickly learns that a Machine Man can be manipulated and while in a rare break, gathers workers and plans an attempt to contact the UPN using a Machine Man.

Successful, Freder alerts the UPN but is found in mid-sentence by Rotwang and is penalised.

While the UPN prepares an attack, workers quickly learn that they are on the way and try to attack from within, with a group of workers, Maria goes to free Freder while other workers start to destroy Machine Men one by one, silently.

There are several attempts to escape by the workers, all of which are futile but eventually the UPN returns with several armies including "The Mars Marine Corps", every nation's army, "Ganemede Rangers", "Snipers of Titan" and other corps from colonies across the Galaxy, and with the help of the workers, they attack the Machine Men.

The climax is a showdown with the last Machine Man - Rotwang, and Freder, ironically, on top of a Cathedral. Freder knows he can't rely on strength so while saying the words "Sorry, Lord" he picks up a sharp cross and throws it at Rotwang's chest where his brain is stored and Rotwang has a violent fit and falls off the Cathedral roof.

Metropolis's technologies get improved and the city becomes automatically powered. Any remains of Machine Men are destroyed and placed on a distant asteroid as the people learn that the Machine Men actually "respired" and ran off Oxygen.

The movie closes with a Talking Heads song, "Crosseyed and Painless" with:

"A thanks to all of our contributors,

Acclaim
The movie was given very high ratings by most film critics, however, people who were loyal to the original film reportedly sent Joe hatemail, one crazed Fritz Lang film flew a plane with banner attached to it around Joe's house saying:

"WAY TO GO JOE! I (censored)ing HATE YOUR MOVIE AND YOU"

The pilot was immediately arrested.
