rate my film idea

**monkie of ninja** · March 14th, 2004, 03:05 PM

My idea is about a monkey (with \|\I\|\JA powers) from another planet in the distant future who controls the destiny of three individuals. These three are mutually exclusive, in the sense that they are all crazy, but together they can create miracles. The monkey knows this, but the only way to control the past is to send back a sword, which will let all these three ppl kill eachother to reincarnate to the monkey.

Do you think it's a good idea? Pls share your opinions.

So far, it's barely a kernel of an idea. Try writing it out as a treatment before asking for serious comments/criticism. (and DON'T go overboard too soon & try writing in script form)

Sounds like an episode of 'Power Rangers'. [img]graemlins/thumbs_down.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_down.gif[/img]

your idea is almost as nuts as the non-plot for "versus"

From the little bit said, sounds like Sid & Marty Krofft attempting to rewrite 12-MONKEYS crossed with TMNT (while passing their bong back & forth). Sounds stupid, but with some guidance, a time-travel storyline doesn't have to be a total joke. Just make some characters a bit more realistic/believable, realize the limits of SFX you'll have in the budget, and dump the Planet Of The Apes monkey-from-the-future cliche.
