Hey,
I got a good idea for a screenplay today- right after I got one of those thanks, but no thanks, e-mauls today. I"m ripe for revenge. I'm hoping for inspirational
input here. I'm calling this story "Sell My Script's".
The logline would be something like this:
An outlaw biker is secretly an aspiring screenwriter. He gets revenge from the people who rejected reading his script.
Synopsis:
An oulaw biker writes a collection of scripts. He rides to California and tries to have them read so he can sell them. He can't even get a major studio to look at them. They get sent back unread. He is told that he has to get permission to send them. He tries to get permission to send them. He's rejected.
So he rounds up some unsavory characters named Pigman, Tiny, Skunk and Wild Bill to help him kidnap executives of major motion picture srudios.
Once they kidnap their studio exec's, the writer makes them sit down and read his scripts. They all love the scripts. That just makes the writer mad.
The writer tells the exec's he'll let them go if they can sell the scripts. If they can't, he'll kill them. They have 90 days. But he lays down some ground rules. The exec's have to pretend to be the writer, they can't make phone calls and their computer queries and letters are monitored by the writer to make sure they don't pull any sneaky stuff and cry for help. The exec's can't even get a agent to represent the scripts.
At the end of the 90 day's, the exec's still don't have an agent and they can't even get a studio to look at the script's. So the writer offers to let them go for a ransom. He collects 20 million dollars from each exec's estate for a total of one hundred million dollars.
The writer and his outlaw friends form a production company and make the movies themselves. The movies make 100's of millions of dollars.
At the end of the movie, The writer turned movie mogul is leaving his office when he is kidnapped by a disgruntled writer........................
Maybe i should call it " A VISCIOUS CIRCLE".
Any comments or suggestions? Here's your chance to fantacize a little bit and get even.
