What movie do you want made? If you got a pitch meeting with a producer and a guaranteed green light, what would you say?
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.
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.
Speed 3, the moped that couldn’t slow down.
Setting: Bangkok.
Starring Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper.
Villain is Ken Jeong.Buddy cop movie starring Snoop Dogg and Jeff Goldblum but neither of them are given a script so they have to ad lib the whole thing.
I so hope someone in Hollywood is working on this
Sounds like Will Arnett’s Murderville
The Bible as a Manga series by non-Christians or Christians with no need to soap it over. Raw and gritty in the way it was originally described. Old Testament level action stories.
So people strangely know the entire Bible without a hint of religion being demanded. Post-theology, post-religion in a way that people might understand the idea of an egalitarian world coming out of an absolute quagmire.
Downsizing, with the trailer being the pitch.
-
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
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
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
Sounds a bit like the second Jurassic Park
Take a look at Warm Bodies.

Guaranteed green light? I’d say it’s going to be a SURPRISE, I need an advance.
It’s about a family which is under a curse that makes them die young. But it turns out the curse is actually just the millionaire family patriarch stealing organs from his descendants so he can live longer. And it ends with him locking himself in a panic room because his children and grandchildren form a mob to kill him. But what he doesn’t know is that his emergency supply of immunosuppressants has been removed, so he dies a painful death as his body rejects its foreign parts while they have him trapped.
For legal purposes this is not based on the life of any actual living man with too much money who pumps out kids like it’s his reason to live.
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?
Bomb squad movie where the bombs are wired to Jenga towers.
Considering this is what my podcast is all about, it would be hard to pick just one.
A remake of murder on the orient express, except it’s in space and it’s the future.
Doctor Who did it
Based off of a short little story a friend of mine wrote for a story he was working on. He agrees it would be cool, if done correctly.
The story first focuses on a bird spirit who lives in the mountains, early 1800s America, who gets shot in the beak with a bow and arrow by some Natives and ends up having to replace his beak with a wooden beak he makes on his own. He ends up messing up making the beak and it now only opens and closes when he takes a step, closing shut with a loud SNAP of the beak. This spirit, known under the regional name Wood Beak, used to let people know of its’ presence by walking around a nearby town and people would only ever catch the silhouette of a human sized bird. Eventually people in the town start to go missing and they blame it on Wood Beak.
This next part is original and not based off of my friends work.
Fast-forward to modern day. The town has grown larger but is still a relatively small town. A couple of amateur online paranormal investigators come to the town in the middle of winter in order to film and document the Wood Beak disappearances. The majority of the town don’t take the whole idea of Wood Beak being a paranormal being seriously and instead suggest it was just a serial killer playing a sick joke on the town. Eventually they meet a young adult Native who tells them that he wholeheartedly believes that Wood Beak was an angered spirit and that his ancestors never fully atoned for angering him. One night while up late in their hotel, the investigators hear what sounds like the sound of a wooden beak snapping shut. They run out to find the silhouette of Wood Beak. The next day, nobody believes them. This happens the next night as well and some other people who hear it blame the investigators, saying that they’re just doing this so they can get views online. A few nights later and people start going missing again, like they did over 200 years ago. In the end it turns into a race against time to stop Wood Beak as the town slowly devolves into chaos.
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.
