What movie do you want made? If you got a pitch meeting with a producer and a guaranteed green light, what would you say?
A $200k horror movie that can be out in 3 months. It’s about a serial killer who steals the teeth from his victims.
My script mixes highly defined characters, supernatural cosmic horror, and old world body horror. It’s goes off the rails in terrifying and fun ways.
Ps: I actually have a script ready to go and have no hangups about scabbing.
Had me until the last sentence. Lots of folks out there who have problems with you scabbing, watch your fucking kneecaps pal.
Lol. I’m not worried about the pinkos, they have no backbone.
I’m also in no way a professional writer.
I meant every member of every union in the country, myself included. I’ve been to pickets that beat scabs for crossing. You think it’s no big deal but even saying that shit actively hurts workers. Try some class solidarity.
No, thanks. Unions make jobs go overseas.
A “buddy cop” comedy movie starring Russell Crowe and Gerard Butler in which they’re firefighters who have to actually, physically fight the fires with their fists.
Guaranteed green light? I’d say it’s going to be a SURPRISE, I need an advance.
Considering this is what my podcast is all about, it would be hard to pick just one.

POV cave movie using go pros and whatnot. You can play off the claustrophobia where the main character dies in the end
-
Zombie movie but the zombie’s perspective. The whole life cycle: human to zombie to death. Play off the body transformation horror, the gore and the zombie’s instinct to survive
Take a look at Warm Bodies.
The movie V/H/S 2 pretty much combines your ideas in a short called “A Ride in the Park”
Damn alright how bout a “I’m 14 and this is badass movie” where an airplane crash leaves an average man stranded in an island but heres the kicker the island was a military experiment testing area years ago so all the wild life has turned into a more berserk version of themselves
Sounds a bit like the second Jurassic Park
Wasn’t that the one with Tom Hanks and a cannibalistic volleyball? They had to trim it down for American audiences and changed most of the terror into “feel good”, but yeah, pretty sure that’s the one.
Damn next you’re going to tell me they already made a horror movie about a giant, man-eating shark too

Nice try, Hollywood!
Well they have very clearly run out of ideas and the internet has very clearly made that obvious too so who better to ask right?
Damn, looks like our suspicious are confirmed. Hollywood is genuinely out of ideas
No they’re not. They have plenty of brilliant people with lots of creative ideas. The problem is that the suits would rather make the 20th sequel than take the tiniest bit of risk.
A biography based on the life of Marcus Aurelius.
Side note, make Aurelius himself voiced by Peter Cullen.
Bomb squad movie where the bombs are wired to Jenga towers.
Buddy movie where instead of becoming furious with his wife for cheating on him, the husband just becomes good pals with his wife’s boyfriend. Eventually the wife starts feeling left out as hijinks ensue. In a climactic scene, the boyfriend resists the wife’s temptations in order to help with the new business he and the husband have started together, which leads to the two guys stopping a mass shooter. The two become heroes and best friends forever. It turns out that the would be mass shooter is an ex of the wife who didn’t have a friend and just couldn’t deal.
This gives a “woman, therefore bad” movie troupe vibe. But if directed like the movie “That’s my Boy” and the script-writing improved a little bit, I guess it could be sold as one of those weird dark comedy movie. That being said, you’re gonna have to get Adam Sandler as the husband.
Not really going for a “woman, therefore bad” trope and I wouldn’t let the producers take it that way, as per the premise of the question. If I’m employing a trope, it would be “buddy good, even if he’s fucking your wife”. It’s a movie that puts friendship over toxic masculinity.
Forgot to add this before, but this kinda reminds me of the short film Holding, which is quite similar to your plot, minus the Adam Sandler shenanigans.
4 guys in university put themselves though school by becoming hitmen. It all goes smoothly till a hit comes in on the Dean of their school.
Downsizing, with the trailer being the pitch.
Speed 3, the moped that couldn’t slow down.
Setting: Bangkok.
Starring Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper.
Villain is Ken Jeong.I want to make a movie about the smoothie shop that was robbed by high school students outside of Washington DC.
If you are here to steal ideas, I’ll consider that as a win. I don’t need millions of dollars. I know this is rich material for a heist movie.
