The Scout Seven

The Scout Seven is an upcoming 2027 American computer-animated musical drama comedy film based on C.M's franchise, Diverse Scouts, produced by Dreamworks animation and distributed by Universal Pictures. The film was directed and produced by C.M. who was previously known for producing "Crash Boat", and screenplay for the film was done by Ryan O'Loughlin and John Davis. It stars the voices of Kevin Heart, T.J. Miller, Dwayne Johnson, Maya Rudolph, Jack Black, and Uma Thurman.

The story was picked up by C.M. who came up with multiple ideas to have in the story during his high-school years in August 2017, nearly 8 years and eleven months prior to his debut into the studio. The story resolves around a young boy named "Cathal," who wants to explore why diversity is never a threat while proving himself to be a worthy scout. The story was originally going to be a parody, but the idea was changed into a more structured plot that is inspired by some of his dreams and adventures during his childhood in a musical form. The music will be composed by Hans Zimmer, and Billy Joel. Billy Joel will compose several songs for the film's plot line and Hans Zimmer will compose music based on the classical BSA songs. The musical numbers however, will be produced by Lin-Manuel Miranda. David Hein will also be working with Lin to produce several foreign songs.

Plot
Prince Northwest is a young prince who lives in the dimension of "Space-ism." He is generally friends with a scout known by the name of Cathal who has always visited his dimension since he was four-years-old. Cathal, the young Prince's friend, talks to him about the upcoming party that will be held in Miami, Florida and warns hims saying its not a good idea to come. Prince Northwest says that he would be fine to hide himself by looking like a typical teenager which Cathal tries to disapprove, but has not choice to do nothing more than preach it.

Cathal and Prince Northwest walk into the party looking like 1990's dressed brothers, so Prince Northwest wouldn't look too unique in comparison. Ronald and Owen meet both of them, but they have some suspicious thoughts towards Prince Northwest in his current clothing. They had theorized that he came from another dimension, which was coincidentally true. As they have a conversation with each other, Prince Northwest meets Lola, who does nothing more than stare at him with a vicious look. Soon he notices that karaoke had just begun which suddenly makes him jump onto the stage and start singing. Meanwhile, a group of uninvited guest have arrived near the entrance, including Ace, a Giant boy who is over 60 feet tall, and Sophia, who is being defended by him after being caught into an argument with the gang of uninvited guests. Suddenly, the uninvited guest had began a mass shooting which was heard by Prince Northwest. He screams out loud "Mass Shooting," as everyone misunderstands him until the guest arrive, pulling their triggers. One of them try to shoot at Cathal, who unfortunately and mistakenly is killed by both the anonymous suspect and Prince Northwest. This was because Prince Northwest effortlessly used his psychic powers until he became weak, which interrupted his focus and made Cathal loose his natural balance. Prince Northwestern could do nothing more than look at the crowd screaming and running after the massive tragedy and Cathal's potential death.
