For years, I've been a Steven Seagal fan. I just can't help it. There's just something about his thoughtful dialogue, complex plotlines, and unmatched acting ability that makes me want to watch every Steven Seagal movie the day it comes out. For years I thought to myself, "I wish I could write action movies like that." Finally, I managed to stumble across the secrets of his movies. While this knowledge could disrupt the balance of action movie-making as we know it, I decided to share with all of you these industry secrets. By the time you finish reading this, you will have written your very own Steven Seagal movie.
To write your own Steven Seagal movie you will need three things. First, a piece of paper. Second, something to write with, such as a pen or pencil. Third, you will need a standard six-sided die. The way it works is I will go through the crucial background and plot points one by one. For each point you will have 6 options. Roll the die for each plot point and use the corresponding selection to write your movie. After you have selected all your plot points, combine them and just like that, your very own Steven Seagal movie. Enjoy.
