The Director Who Films Your Life

Roger Corman
Your film will be 45% romantic, 26% comedy, 43% complex plot, and a $ 27 million budget.
An action-complex tale about a complex character that is you. Corman was responsible for a very early Jack Nicholson film, 1963's The Terror (Francis Coppola was associate producer), filmed in three days! The actor who plays you will emote complexity like Jack ... maybe Christian Slater or Gwyneth Paltrow. Also, Roger filmed the original Little Shop of Horrors film -- which in the 1980s was the basis for a hit Broadway musical and another film. All his films were shot for mere thousands of dollars, sometimes completed within the week. Roger knows talent, and knows how to keep costs down with complex stories such as your life story. His versions of Edgar Allen Poe stories are considered classics (The Raven, The Pit and the Pendulum), and also directed Deathsport and Bloody Mama in the 1970s. Oh, yeah, man, this guy will make your film a cult classic!
 
Kevin Smith

Your film will be 46% romantic, 39% comedy, 28% complex plot, and a $ 17 million budget.

Kevin will take your slacker life and turn it into the cult classic it deserves to be --- like Mallrats (just kidding). If you can handle the menacing presence of Jay and Silent Bob all throughout your film, then Kevin is willing to oblige. Basically, he can take the lives of people who don't have much of a life and make it entertaining (e.g., Zack and Miri Make a Porno), so you're in good hands. Go watch your copy of Clerks, now.

I realise this is a quiz, but realistically, I would have either Tim Burton or Jean-Pierre Jeunet as my directors :embarassed:

Woody Allen
Your film will be 63% romantic, 40% comedy, 26% complex plot, and a $ 32 million budget.
11644436603967512292

Be prepared to have your life story shot entirely in New York City -- though lately Woody's been loving shooting in London. Also, your music soundtrack is all jazz from before 1949. Filmography: Annie Hall, Manhattan, Stardust Memories, Everyone Says I Love You, Match Point, Scoop, etc. Woody has released one film per year consistently for the past 35 years. For the past 15 years he's been trying to make films like his older, funnier ones, just like characters in his Stardust Memories film suggest throughout. Scarlett Johansson will star.
 
Edward D. Wood, Jr.

Your film will be 45% romantic, 24% comedy, 34% complex plot, and a $ 31 million budget.

Ed Wood will get your film done waaaaay under budget, and will likely make it into a classic film of all time -- for all the wrong reasons. Let's face it, your life isn't terribly exciting to begin with, and it needs some camping up. His resume includes classics such as Plan Nine From Outer Space and Glen or Glenda? He's not afraid to tackle controversial topics, and may insist on portraying a transvestite in your film -- even if you've never seen a transvestite before. He was immortalized in the Academy Award winning Tim Burton film, Ed Wood -- go see it.

I did this test again;

Sofia Coppola

Your film will be 55% romantic, 33% comedy, 33% complex plot, and a $ 30 million budget.

With few films under her belt (The Virgin Suicides, Lost In Translation, Marie Antoinette) as a writer/director, she's already highly respected and connected -- her dad, Francis, directed all The Godfather movies and Apocolypse Now. Sofia's good at making the romantic drama that is your life with poignant sullen moments of introspection. You saw how she stylishly handled Marie Antoinette's life, no? And who didn't have at least a lump in the throat at the end of Lost In Translation? She's already won one Academy Award for her writing, now she'll be the first woman to receive one for directing -- YOUR FILM!

Honestly though I would be better off doing my own film based on myself.

James L. Brooks

Your film will be 69% romantic, 38% comedy, 48% complex plot, and a $ 39 million budget.

Filmography: Terms of Endearment, Spanglish, As Good As It Gets, Broadcast News, etc. He also is responsible for bringing The Simpsons to TV (from when he produced The Tracy Ullman Show). It's likely that the audience will cry if Jimmy makes your film. In fact, the Simpsons writing team gave the name "Jimmies" to those sweet, tender, loving moments that end some Simpsons episodes. Also, that's he who says, "How about some sponge cake? With a brandy glaze! Muwahaha!" Seriously, though, he knows how to tap into the humanity of his characters and draw out Oscar-nominated quality performances from his actors.
 
Woody Allen

Even though this is probably true (and I love Woody Allen's movies), I'd prefer my life story to be directed by Akira Kurosawa. Who says I couldn't have been a teenage samurai???
 
another chess game with death

Ingmar Bergman

Your film will be 66% romantic, 29% comedy, 44% complex plot, and a $ 43 million budget.
Your life will be portrayed on film as an intense psychological drama, likely with some actresses screaming at the camera (Persona), or maybe a pleasant chess game between the Grim Reaper and a Crusader (The Seventh Seal). This Swedish director's films are intensely scrutinzed and studied in colleges all over the world to this day. This means that most Americans still don't understand his films! Still alive, he released in the U.S. in 2005 his first film in 23 years (Saraband), and he can still take on one more project to make your film biography. If curious, start with his films Wild Strawberries and Smiles of a Summer Night.

Quentin Tarantino


Your film will be 48% romantic, 34% comedy, 53% complex plot, and a $ 45 million budget.


Wow! What a life you have led thus far! Action-packed, anti-social with probably dark humor. Quentin hasn't really made many films, but each successive one is a bigger and grander project ... and more violent. Karate CHOP! Your life story will probably star Michael Madsen, Uma Thurman, or some TV or movie star from the 1980s for which your film will be the comeback -- let's say Emilio Estevez. Maybe. Quentin's short directing resume includes Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill Vols. 1 & 2.

Well, I DO have a boring life by Hollywood standards. This just confirms it.

Your film will be 63% romantic, 53% comedy, 47% complex plot, and a $ 52 million budget.


One of the best directors in film alive today. Every picture he has made has been a classic: The Graduate, Working Girl, Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?, Closer, Carnal Knowledge, What Planet Are You From?, Primary Colors, Silkwood, The Birdcage, etc. Every actor scrambles to be able to work with him, and now he is gonna make your life into a classic film. Hold your head up, and hope he gets Natalie Portman in your film somewhere.

Steven Soderbergh

Your film will be 57% romantic, 28% comedy, 40% complex plot, and a $ 28 million budget.

Filmography: Sex Lies and Videotape, Traffic, Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Twelve, Erin Brockovich, and various other homemade independent films. He may just want to follow you around for a few months and construct a film out of that. Your humor is either dry or non-existant, but your life is somewhat exciting romantically because you're "bad." At least you'll be surrounded by the best-looking people who will be cast as your friends, who in real life are probably just as good-looking. Then when he wins the Academy Award for your film, he won't have to make anymore "Ocean's" films.
