The runaway success of a film about smiley faces has seen studios fall over themselves fighting to sign the rights to Roget’s Thesaurus, in order to tell the real stories behind synonyms.
It will tell the story of how main character Synonym makes the trepidatious and terrifying journey from Analogue to Metonym, overcoming difficulties such as being mistaken for ‘Another Word For’ and nearly coming to death-defying end after being confused for Analogy.
During the film, he falls in love with Antonym, who herself sees a transition through Reverse, whilst fighting demons such as Beast, Monster and Villain on her quest to reach ‘Word With Opposite Meaning To Another Word’.
Of the film, scriptwriter Cecille B. Spielberg said, “It was a labour of love for me to do this and it has had absolutely no lasting effects, downsides or negative aspects of a situation for me.
“Roget’s original, authentic, first text was famously expanded by his son, heir and offspring, then further developed, cultivated and evolved by his grandson, son’s son, daughter-in-law’s little boy.
“This version is based upon the 1984 tome, entitled Roget’s Lad’s Little One’s Daughter’s One of the Twin’s Little Girl’s Reimagined Thesaurus, though it will retain the original, inaugural and beginning-most title for clarity, precision and simplicity.
“No-one will be disappointed, let down or saddened as the script has hilarious, comical and very funny consequences, results and ramifications.”
