Movie Pitch Ideas I'm working on

Here at the West Coast Branch of Fjord, there's one thing we know...and that's that movies make our town go 'round. So if you're not working on a script, or pitching a script, or working on a movie, you're not doing something right.

So after a lot of very easy work, I've come up with my screenplay called "ATTACK OF THE DRUIDS" It's a young coming-of-age story about a boy and his dog, abducted by a magic-using cult of cannibal druids.

When pitching your story, I've been advised to use the analogy of your movie as the combination of two successful movies from the past. So I've come up with a few combos I hope you'll enjoy. It's a move like...

Rudy meets Smokey and the Bandit?

Operation Dumbo Drop meets How the Grinch Stole Christmas?

The Lost Boys meet Howard the Duck?

Saving Private Ryan meets Shaft?

The Blob meets Miracle on Ice?

The Three Stooges meet Scarface?

The Crying Game meets Blue Crush?

Or...

Field of Dreams meets The Killing Fields.


Hopefully one of these will work. There's no business like show biz!
