Gladiator Productions, 1920-????

Hello and welcome to my newest dynasty. This will show my attempt to play through The Movies. I have had it for years, and play I every so often. I always enjoy the first bit, but eventually get bored of the tedium that comes in the middle game, as your studio gets very involved.

I just picked up the expansion for the game, and want to give it my first spin in two-three years or so. I could play 20-30 years, or I could go deep – it just depends on my interest level.


In January, 1920, Braham Essex forms Gladiator Productions in a moderate sized lot near the rest of the competition. A small company at birth, in grows into one of the major houses in film making in Hollywood. This is its story:

You can see our studio’s crest on the flag by the entrance. I need to turn this into a real studio over the next few months.

The first thing I do is order the construction of a 5,000 Stage School to hire talent as actors, actresses, extras, and directors.

Then I need crew to build it. After a group of 6 people flocks to our set looking for work, I hire one as a janitor and two as builders.

While the builders move to the stage school to start building it, I order more buildings placed in my lot for construction – Crew Facility for hiring camera crew, production office for many things, and a casting office. When a script is ready, I move it to the casting office, and then assign a director, and actors there. They then rehearse the script until ready for shooting.

The production office is used when a film is done shooting and ready for release. There I can release films, review them, and check finances and other information.

I also order this area of the lot we are using to be sodded green and some pavement is added as well.

I then order a stage set built in the front center of the area.

After the Stage School is opened, I move a lady to the role of extra from the line formed outside of the staff building. Our first actress, although just an extra, is:

Consuela Nohpal, 21 years old

Feb - Our first script arrives purchased for about nothing. It is called The Baggage Boy. As soon as the Casting Office is done, we can start. Our Crew Facility is built and I hire two camera crew from the line wanting work as janitors or builders. One came by, so we have one still in line.

Apr – The Casting Office is built and I move The Baggage Boy to pre-production. I need a male lead, so William Loomis is cast there. I need a director, and choose Jo because she has a tiny bit of comedy experience, which this film is.

May arrives and the set is built just before the pre-production of The Baggage Boy is done, so now is moves to shooting. My builders head off to finish the Production Office.

A line has formed outside the crew building. I create a second janitor, a two more crew, and another extra.

Extra Tom Overton, 21

June – The Production Office is complete

In July, a new set becomes available – the Wild West Saloon, and I order it built at the cost of 8k

Sept – The new set is built.

Oct – Here is my studio from an aerial view. You’ll note that I built many of my initial buildings along the bottom wall, and my sets towards the middle. I’ve left space in the bottom center for things like bathrooms, eating, and other important places for my people to hang.

It’s early December, and The Baggage Boy has just finished filming. I order it distributed.

Overview of The Baggage Boy:






It cost a little over 10k to make.

Want to see?




That took about 5 minutes to do, but perhaps it will speed up in the future. Plus I need to make better quality videos, ick.

I order the construction of a snack van and a couple of portable toilets.

I can now build a Makeover Department, and I drop 7k on it.

The calendar year turns to 1921.

March hits and the Makeover Dept is ready. I send in my people one by one to get makeovers, to increase their self-image.

April sees another film hit our studio – Love Lasso. This romance is moved to the casting building now.

Love Lasso will have William Loomis as the male lead, and Kelly Ford will direct

In June, the movie begins shooting after rehearsal and pre-production finishes.

Several new sets are now available for building, so I order them constructed. They are:

Rural – Musty Cellar
Sci-Fi Bridge 1
Wild-West Desert

The last one is one if the very large sets you will typically get for outdoor scenes. The first is very small, and easily fits in, and the second is of medium size. I fit the first two around the central set area I’ve been working on.

I spend 17k on the starship bridge directly inside of the stage. I order the Cellar set to its right (5k). Finally, I order the Wild West Desert in one of the corners of our lot, at a cost of 7k

I hire another builder.

In September, I only have 17k left in the bank. I need to get some money from Love Lasso.

In Feb, I increase the salary of my four stars by 500 each

I then drop 6k on a Basic Script Office.

I start sending my stars out to practice in empty lots to increase their skills in various areas.

In April, the Scriptwriting Office is complete and I hire two scriptwriters. I have them both start working on a horror script.

Jun – I hire 22 year old Jon Whitfield as an extra.

I have to build another snack van and port-a-potty because our demand is too much.

Sept – Our script – The Witching Park, is ready for casting. I cast Kelly Ford as director and Anna Grice as the lead. Anna was working on horror a lot and has some ability in it now.

I order our scriptwriters to focus on a comedy film next.

Nov – Our film is ready to begin shooting,

Jan 1923 – Our next script, Ship of Dolts, is ready for casting, and I move it to the Casting Office. Jo will be directing and William starring.

I order a sci-fi script written

The Baggage Boy has stopped making money, so we send it to an archive. It made us 83k in revenue, so it really helped keep us afloat.

Mar – Ship of Dolts begins shooting

The scifi script Citizen Prophet is ready.

I order another scifi made.

Aug 23 – I put Citizen Prophet in the casting queue, and send the same duo back. I had been working on sci-fi for the director, so that should hopefully show itself off here.

October sees the release of Ship of Dolts:


You can see the practice by my lead and director are making them better at this genre. This film cost us 13.5k to make.

The Awards are here!

Old Rope Cinema won for Highest Charting Star, we aren’t even close to the conversation

Lionear Productions won for Highest Charting Studio, and again, we were not even close (5th out of 5)

Creamboat Creations has the highest charting movie. And once again, we are not even close.



And that’s it. In 1930, the next awards show will have a prize for best studio lot.

We have reached the first achievement with 500k made from films, 5 movies, and 5 stars of films released. We get an option to build a custom script office, and the next achievement is now open.

I order a Wild West: Bank set built.

1925 was a good year, but 1926 arrives and Lady, Please Leave the War is now ready for shooting

After making us 98k. Ship of Dolts is now archived.

In Feb, the script P.R.O.T.O.N. is done. I order another comedy script.

In April, I order the action script just completed to get ready, with the team from Railroad Spike reprising their roles. I spent some time making my director better in action.

We have a new comedy script – The Hairnet. I order another action one made.

The movie looks a lot like our previous horror film. The one star films are often a little redundant in their scripts.

And yet again, more movies looking virtually identical to previous ones. Despite many sets, we keep using the crappy stage.

After making us 115k, Citizen Prophet is time to retire.

In October, our latest script is complete and I order another romance one since Where’s Baby? Isn’t even a 1 star script

I build a Script/Star selling office and sell Where’s Baby?

In January 1927, the War Pack is available, and I order up a War Battlefield set.

Two months later I greenlight the horror film Prehistoric Dawn, and put our normal horror team in charge of it.

Our studio reaches two star status, one of the three things needed for the next achievement. The other two are having a two star movie and a two star star.

Now that we have a nice parcel of cash, I am using my time to jack up my stars’ abilities on the five genres. Ideally, I want each actor to be great at two and good at a third genre, and each director great at two.

The script The Walnut Crack’d is done, and I order my script writers to focus on another horror script, entitled Deadbeater.

The next month (April) P Dawn starts shooting.

The next month, I start casting The Walnut Crack’d, and star the team of Jo and William again.

In June, Deadbeater is done and my staff work on another romance film.

After making 138k for us, it’s time to archive Defenders of the Fort.

In July, The Walnut Crack’d is now shooting

Sept – TVs are now on made. Scifi Pictures are up, everything else is down.

The scriptwriters gave me Where’s Baby? Again so I built a script editing room and changed it to Where’s My Baby? and changed the sets in a few places.

Nothing like a movie which is exactly identical to previous ones in every way. My scriptwriters need to get a clue.

Dec – I move They Built the Moon to casting and hire my horror duo to run it.

In Jan, we begin shooting the sci fi film (which uses the stage still – sigh)

Feb, 1928 – New things are unlocked, including trailers for stars, rehab, and a lab. I build the lab and rehab at a price of 46k for both.

I also build a few trailers and a ton of decoration around them.

In March, some of the trailers are done, and I assign two of them to Jo and William.

The next month, our lab is built and I hire four researchers and get them working on a mainstream pack

I also hire a fourth janitor

The next month we archive Railroad Spike after it made 98.7k.

In June, here is my lot, after our Rehab center opens.

August arrives and I hire a new star –

20 year old Tamsin Carr, hired with a lot of experience already in action.

I give her a makeover, and then increase her salary to 10k while increasing everybody else’s as well.

I give the other two trailers to the people who made They Built the Moon – Kelly and Anna.
