Next to God, there is no greater protector than I.

An autobiography of Mr. T-

Born as the youngest of 12 kids, Mr. T kicked ass from birth. It's impressive that Chuck Norris got as much cred as he did, when he is just a white Mr. T.

Mr. T is an actual athlete and martial artist, and has a much better hook than Chuck Norris, with Mr. T, you can base it on a true story.


From Wikipedia:
His wearing of gold neck chains and other jewelry was the result of customers losing the items or leaving them behind at the bar/night club after a fight. A customer, who may have been banned from the club or trying to avoid another confrontation, would not have to re-enter the club if Mr. T wore their jewelry as he stood out front. When a customer returned to claim the item, it was readily visible and available with no further confrontations required. Often, the "former" customers did not return. Mr. T thus built up a large collection and earned a reputation for wearing many gold neck chains and bracelets.

Mr. T managed eventually to parlay his job as a bouncer into a career as a bodyguard to the stars that lasted almost ten years. He protected well-known personalities like Muhammad Ali, Steve McQueen,Michael Jackson, Leon Spinks, Joe Frazier and Diana Ross, charging $3,000 per day.^[2]

As a bodyguard, Tureaud's business card read, "Next to God, there is no greater protector than I." Mr. T claimed that he never lost a client, saying, "I got hurt worse growing up in the ghetto than working as a bodyguard." A bald-headed Mr. T can be seen on film accompanying Joe Frazier to the ring in Frazier's rematch against George Foreman in 1976.

I think a part real part fake autobiography (like the antoine fisher story told by antione fisher) about Mr. T, make it an good old-fashioned big action comedy. With a legit actor in it, this could be such a great Will Smith movie for the next Will Smith. Considering how popular Star Trek was this summer, I firmly believe you can sell anything.

Put some quality it and you've got a guaranteed money maker- District 9, Iron Man, Batman, The Hangover- something slightly unexpected good makes people recommend movies. It's the ones that you weren't expecting to be as good as they were. The title has to be good, a little funny when you say it out loud, and very self explanatory with a poster.

Mr. T-  bam.

Start off with the real story, and then at about the 30 minute mark, turn it into something crazy. Make it like a real version of the Pedo Van, where Mr. T just wants to help people, but is constantly thrown because of his appearance- I want to show the Mr. T from Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool.

Then it turns into something bigger- he gets caught up in some shit and has to rip shit up. A big bad ass old fashioned action movie- something along the lines of True Lies or Die Hard With a Vengeance, something with clever twists and big explosions. If they're making a movie based on this,

Then Mr. T can't be far off.

Edit: Here's a funny story. I only read the early years part of the biography before starting to type this up and trying to photoshop gold chains onto the new Mr. T with the Sackman and Qui Gon Jin and guess what I read at the bottom of the Mr T page?

"Mohawk Media, publisher of the Mr. T graphic novel, has announced on its website that Sony Pictures will be producing a CGI movie starring Mr. T, scheduled for release in 2009."

I think the idea is still good for something, just not Mr. T. And he's the only celebrity I've seen at the mall. Although he was doing a TV Land thing. And I saw Bette Midler on the street once.

A video commemorating creativity.

And another good song.

in conclusion, if you have a few minutes, enjoy this.
