Let me ask you how does this sound for a script idea?
The story is about a hot ass looking girl. Think Jennifer Lawrence, or Scar Jo hot. Any celeb people on the internet thinks is really good looking. Anyway there is this smoking hot girl. She dresses & looks beautiful. But acts like a dude. She farts and burps more than any guy, has the messiest apartment ever. Says the most vulgar, raunchiest things. Worse than any guy. She's like this cause she was raised with like 5-6 brothers and is the youngest. Because of who she is and how she acts. She has trouble with men. Cause I'm sure it doesn't matter how hot a girl is. There's only so much that a guy can take of it. But it's not her fault. That's just how she was raised. So this only leaves her with one option. Internet dating. She strikes up a internet relationship with this one guy. They've never met only talked online and have exchanged pictures of one another. All is going good until he finally wants to meet her in person. She keeps saying no. But realizes that if she keeps saying no. He'll stop talking to her and she really likes him. So she agrees to it. Even though she knows it's not a good idea. He's from a different state, so he makes plans to arrive to meet her the next month. So with the short amount of time she has before her "internet Boyfriend" She uses this time to become more lady like with the help of her friends & brothers. It'll almost in a way be like those Melissa McCarthy movies where she plays the fat slob like character. But instead of a fat slob like character. It'll be a hot ass chick instead. I mean about it. You never really see anything like this. It's either a guy like this ALA Zach Galafankis (SP) or what Melissa McCarthy does in every single one of her movies. You can't say she doesn't. Cause she really does. The Tagline could be Rude and Crude with Boobs. The name of it would be Chick-A-Dude Sounds funny, right? Or atleast I do. Shows people not only guys can act or be like that. Maybe even get someone like a Jennifer Lawrence to star in it. I feel she think it's funny. She likes farts already. So we're already half way there. ![]() I swear i come up with my ideas than stuff i write anymore. I have about 15 or more script ideas to work on. I try starting a new thing and just think of more ideas for stuff. Thought it sounds sorta original right or a new twist on something old we've seen. |

The Real Ghostbusters had some great writers, including future Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski.
Some genres lend themselves to writing an entire script in advance and some do not. Most comedies end up looking nothing like the submitted scripts. If you really want to get noticed as a writer, come up with a killer scene to open a movie. Most people will dump a script if it hasn't hooked them within the first 10-20 pages. |

The script for The Hangover is different than what was in the film. I mean some of the characters traits were still in it. Just in different characters. Say for instance The Stu Character was a semi-overweight dumb jock. Who was married with two kids. The Phil character was single who had money problems. The Alan character in that original script was basically what became of the Stu character in the movie. Leslie Chow who wasn't called that in the script was a short overweight Hawaiian guy. Only character that was the same both in the script and movie was Doug. It had Alot of the same jokes and beats. Yep. All the more reason to love her. ![]() |

Okay Michael Bay Fan, I read all those pitches you posted up there, and as someone who considers himself fairly well read, written and watched on film, I think I can best sum up my advice as follows:
You really need to get your head out of high school. From my point of view, most of your pitches reflect the lack of a wider perspective on life experience, or to put in another way, lack an adult perspective on the world. The actual text of these pitches, the words themselves (focus on young teens as characters, descriptive terms and comparisons, etc: that reality show killer pitch is bitter as hell), reveals a somewhat young and naive frame of mind, and as a consequence end up telling totally uninteresting stories (Who cares if some sperglord collects insurance on his DVD collection? That's not a movie. Fifteen years isn't nostalgic enough of a past to reflect on, and your protagonist would only be 14. Who cares?) or consist of tenuous genre mash-ups derived from what sounds cool. But I'd say the biggest issue with most of these pitches is that none of them really have a story, or at the very least a story hook: they're all about premise and plot. You're putting premise and plot ahead of story, and you can't do that because you'll only end up with something held together purely by plot momentum which falls apart because it lacks a strong core in story that provides momentum to the plot: Story is what happens, plot is how it happens. Come up with a story worth telling and then you can build everything else up around that, and to tell a story you often literally have to start from the ground up: Jean-Luc Goddard once said "all you need to make a movie is a girl and a gun." A final point of advice I would give concerns how you format the pitch/summary itself. Concentrate less on justifying the movie's existence, explaining aspects of the premise, or how the world works and more on tying up everything in a simple package. A single paragraph should be enough to sum up what a movie's about and function as a pitch, and some say if you can't summarize a movie in a single sentence (the "elevator pitch") then you've failed. I wouldn't go quite that drastic but it's a good thing to keep in mind. For what it's worth I do like your drive-in idea, although I would drop the documentary aspect and make it more like an American Graffiti for the classic drive-in scene. Edit: I have a handful of ideas of my own which I might share with the thread later. Last edited by Thomas Guycott; 05-09-2014 at 07:36 AM. |

I know what you mean about summing up the movies in a sentence or so. I'm sure that I could do that do. I just half-ass alot of those things quickly on here. But as I said. If i were going into a meeting it be more professional. I guess if one idea out of so many is not bad. It's not a complete waste. ![]() All of those are just ideas at the moment. And sure once or if i start writing them they will eventually change. |
