(I'm not sold on the title so if you have better ideas, please share :P)

Okay, so my last two movies are premiering in February and March, so now it's time to pitch a new one! :D That, and I got this idea that I really love and really want to do :P

So the movie, which is temporarily dubbed "Back Together", opens up with this band (currently unnamed - if I had a name for them, I could probably name the movie after them). But this isn't one of those overdone stories about a band that wants to be famous - this band is famous. One of the most famous bands in the country, actually. They have everything they could ever want: fame, money, and most importantly, their friendship with each other.

But that doesn't last very long. Jump two years in the future, the band has broken up. No one really knows why exactly, but there are a lot of rumors- one of the guys stole another's girlfriend, the lead singer was dating the guitarist and they broke up, etc. The only person who knows the truth is June Mays (terrible name I know - it's on purpose). How does she know this, you may be wondering (or not, whatever)? Well, because she was part of the band. She was the gorgeous lead singer, Jane Madyson - her stage name. But now that the band's broken up, she's just the dorky girl who sits in the back of the class and is afraid to talk to anyone.

Tim Walker was the band's biggest fan - at least, that's what he thought. Really, he was like all of their fans - he was madly in love with Jane, he learned guitar so he could be like the lead guitarist, and he dressed just like their drummer: a fedora, glasses frames, skinny jeans, and shirt tucked behind the belt buckle. He finds out June's secret, and immediately hopes to get the band back together, with help from a few friends. On the way, he learns from June why the band broke up, and suddenly starts to realize that not everything was what it seemed.

It's another road trip-type movie, but I don't think it'll be too similar to Long Way to Seattle just because of the plots. Tim and June start in Carson City, Nevada, and end up in Los Angeles by the end of the movie.

...Um, yeah, I think that's everything. The characters are below - as you can see, I already have a pretty good idea of what I want the cast to be, which I know I shouldn't, but when it popped into my head it came with faces and I can't help that: That's about it. There are some other more minor roles, like Tim's friends, but that's the main cast.
 * Tim Walker - One of the bands' fans. When he learns that his dorky classmate June Mays is actually gorgeous lead singer Jane Madyson, he decides to try to get the band back together, and on the way learns a few things about June- and a few things about himself. He's a really cool and funny guy, and popular in the school. The kind of guy every girl wants to be seen with. I was kind of thinking Noah Carson, Lucas Jenkins, or Walker Adams for this role.
 * June Mays, aka Jane Madyson - The lead singer of the band. Everyone tells her she's gorgeous, but she doesn't think so. And behind the facade of being this amazing role model and singer, she's really insecure. So when the band breaks up and she loses everything, she shuts herself out of social interaction and never talks. Her mysteriousness is what leads Tim to try to become friends with her, and eventually to find out her secret. I REALLY want Shelly Yanes to play this role.
 * Tucker Mays, aka Tucker Cuppari - The guitarist of the band. When he was famous, Tucker was just like Tim, but multiplied by ten - hottest guy in the universe, every girl dreams of marrying him and every guy dreams of being him. He's actually June's twin brother, but when they came up with their stage names he went by Tucker Cuppari, which lead the fans to believe he and Jane were dating. Now that the band has broken up, he works at a gas station in Stockton, California, far away from his twin sister and bandmate. I would love for Tristan Conti to play this role.
 * Bobby Jackson, aka BJ - The band's drummer. BJ was never as popular as Jane, Tucker, or Carter, so when the band broke up, Bobby was more than happy to go back to his normal life in Sacramento. He hasn't played the drums since the band broke up, and doesn't plan to ever again. Trey Cameron, Ace Bronson, and Aiden Kristoff are my top picks for this role.
 * Carter Ryan - The band's bassist. Carter is the "sexy bad girl" of the band, and is always caught up in scandals of getting arrested or drunk or yelling at fans. After the band broke up, she started her own singing career, and is still rich and famous. But despite her public image, Carter is actually really sweet, and comes from a very dysfunctional family. I really want Katy Young for this role, and was thinking I could use some of the songs Gleek suggested Katy should be singing for Carter's songs.

What do you guys think?
