Striking Hollywood Writers Collaborate to Bring You

Groundhog Day After Tomorrow

A weatherman/climatologist travels to Punxsutawney, PA for the annual Groundhog Day appearance of Punxasutawney Phil. Evil omens portend something different this year--Phil's head spins completely around and James Earl Jones' voice bellows forth proclaiming "Six more millenia of winter".

Suddenly an ice age begins, freezing millions to death and forcing the rest into a harrowing battle with the elements. Still, the next morning the weatherman wakes up to find it's still February 2nd and the events of the day repeat. Again and again it happens--always ending in an ice age.

The weatherman begins finding new and clever ways to destroy the demonic prophet of instant climate change, and along the way falls in love with a local police officer who repeatedly drives him handcuffed from the site of gruesome groundhog annihilation.

They eventually live happily ever after in an igloo they build with a kit from Walmart.

These, as a whole, are very clever. I must note, however, that you omitted any reference to the weatherman resembling the incredibly attractice Jake Gyllenhaal. Are we to assume he is the not quite as attractive Bill Murray?

Hmm--I think the striking Hollywood writers would want you to be happy, so Jake it is. Besides, Bill Murray would mean they would be obligated to hire his brother, Brian Doyle Murray, who gets work in all of his films, it seems.

I agree. No matter how terrible the movie sounded, I would probably see it if it starred Jake G. Yes, I really am this shallow. :)
