That rocket be trippin

So last night, three of my friends and I were in the hospital (not just for fun), and I think I've come up with a pretty original setting for a movie or series of movies. The idea isn't elegant, but definitely has the, "What the fuck is happening," going for it.

So, basically the setting is from the near future (like all movies, right?) and technology has been developed that would let the United States attach rockets to our borders allowing us to transfer the entire landmass from Earth to the planet of our choice. I personally prefer the moon. The idea came to me while chatting about how screwed the planet will be from carbon emissions and somehow it's the developing world's fault (it probably isn't). So the whole United States decides, we're getting out of this jazz. I feel that movies too often try the, "oh the human race has to move underground to survive," or, "they need to fly to a secret space colony." Like I said earlier, this has the, "Am I seriously watching this quality," allowing it to be enjoyed for years to come.

Now, before you roll your eyes at another one of Eric's crazy ideas, hear me out. The plots are endless. I want to go over a few.

1. Stereotypical End of the World
Clive Owen and his girl are desperately struggling to reach the United States before it leaves the planet to escape the coming tidal wave threatening to destroy the Western Hemisphere. In the epic last scene, they cross the Rio de Janeiro and grab onto the leaving land mass at the very last minute. Also allows for a commentary on illegal immigration.

2. Stereotypical Zombie Apocolypse
A bunch of b or c list actors fight through hordes of zombies back to the border. Steal Rio de Janeiro ending and add in some tragic biting deaths. Instant classic.

3. Romantic Comedy
Patrick Dempsey (or even Alec Baldwin) promised their girlfriend that he would get her french chocolates for their anniversary. With his beloved to return in only a day (from her trip to... Seattle), he heads to the store to buy the chocolates, but the country is already on its way to the moon (the chocolates would have had to be shipped from France). Now he's in a mad dash to find some before it's too late and his girl gets stolen by some muscly jerk.

4. Dramatic think piece
A Forest Gump-like film where the main character is diagnosed with some terminal illness. In his past, he developed the technology allowing the country to be blasted into space, but had his work stolen by his protege. Now on his deathbed, that story is told by people coming to visit him. Finally, the climax is delivered when his old protege comes to see him, the flashback shows the betrayal, and then he apologizes and they hug and love each other. Then, the main character says that all he ever wanted was to see the rockets fire. They do and he dies. Everyone cries. The end.

5. Jackie Chan/ Stereotypical Black Actor in "That Rocket be Trippin"
Taken from Rush Hour, basically Jackie Chan and Tracey Morgan are trying to find a gang (who are likely ninjas for some reason) that plans on sabotaging the rocket system and selling secrets to some evil country.

Preferably I'd like to see all five of these movies released the same weekend.
