Since the earliest I think my show could air is July, I need something to do to pass the time :P So here it is, Temple Run! :D

Obviously it's based off of the app. It focuses around a 16-18 year-old named Stuart Guy. His grandfather, Smith Guy, was a world-famous adventurer (named Montana Smith) who died while in search of the Monkey's Idol when Stuart was 14. When Stuart turns 16/18, he decides to finish what his grandpa started and find the idol. He's joined by Scarlett Fox, a girl who lives down his street that no one ever sees (or knows anything about), and Barry Bones, a gangster looking for some actual adventure in his life. Francisco Montoya, a Spanish adventurer who has a connection to Stuart's family, is also searching for the idol, and will do anything he can to get it first.

Karma Lee also appears as a teenage member of the tribe that created the Monkey's Idol. She was cursed by her tribe and was frozen in time, only to be awakened if the idol was stolen. She's awakened by Francisco and tries to protect the idol, only to be flung aside by one of Francisco's guys- Stuart saves her and she forms an alliance with him, allowing him to take the idol as long as he took it to the museum to be protected instead of selling it to a random stranger. Once the idol leaves the temple, the curse is broken and she begins aging- she expects herself to die, but discovers that she's aging at normal speed, and as such goes home with Stuart, Scarlett, and Barry.

The last avatar, Zack Wonder, doesn't have an actual role- but, his name is heard at Stuart's home when his dad is watching the football game.

The cast: I'm pretty sure there are others too, but idk for sure yet. Maria Selva, who appears in Temple Run 2, doesn't appear in this movie- it's based on the first game. I am toying with ideas of a Temple Run 2 movie, but obviously I have to get Temple Run picked up first :P
 * Stuart Guy, aka Guy Dangerous - The grandson of a great adventurer. Stuart follows in his grandpa's footsteps by trying to get the idol his grandpa died searching for. He goes by the name "Guy Dangerous" because it sounds cooler.
 * Scarlett Fox - A mysterious girl who lives on Stuart's street. No one knows anything about her, and she's never been to school. When Stuart finally meets her she seems very interested in the map he found, and insists on coming with him.
 * Barry Bones - A gangster from Stuart's hometown. He's tired of bullying helpless innocents and instead decides to go on an actual adventure. Although he acts tough and heartless early on, he grows fond of Stuart and Scarlett later.
 * Francisco Montoya - A Spanish adventurer with a connection to Stuart's grandpa. He's ruthless and slightly crazy, and is dedicated to getting the Monkey's Idol.
 * Karma Lee - A clumsy and somewhat dimwitted teenager from the tribe that created the Monkey's Idol. She is frozen in time until Francisco tries to steal the idol, and was told by her family to protect it at all costs.
 * Smith Guy, aka Montana Smith - Stuart's grandpa. He used to tell Stuart stories of his adventures, but died on a search for the Monkey's Idol, inspiring Stuart to find it.
 * Donny & Larry - Francisco's two buddies. They're big, tough, and intimidating, but cowardly and dimwitted.
 * Mr. Guy - Stuart's dad. He doesn't like the idea of Stuart going on an adventure, or his father doing the same, considering himself "practical".

Francisco, Smith, and Mr. Guy are the only adult actors- Donny and Larry are just older teens. I can't decide if I want the main characters to be 16 or 18 (18 is more realistic for an adventure, but 16 allows Mr. Guy to be more controlling and gives me more options for the cast).

So, what do you think? :)
