You're so funny! No offence but why would we share our potential buck-bringers?
Dozens of ideas and projects are floating around in my pretty little head but no one outside of my team is going to get to know about them until they're in production.
Sorry...
I am writing a film about a teenager who thinks he is Jesus.... comedy short, but I am sure I am going to turn it into a feature one day.
to make a movie with no crew, just myself and no actors either . in fact im not even going to use a camera or any sets or anything.
the whole movie will be in my head and i will call myself a director while moaning about economics of other countrys and wondering why my film isnt a success or hasnt taken off

I've got this great pitch...
It's like Sixth Sense meets Unbreakable
but, and here's the clever part, we get
Bruce Willis to play the lead. Also we
make the film really boring, then, from
nowhere we have a twist right at the end.

OK, only joking, no flames please. :-)
buddy, if you have to post on forums for ideas your not going to get very far. think of your own idea, if you use someones elses you will never love it enough to finish the project to perfection.

Now here is a good idea:
Good guy vs. bad guy. Good guy gets the woman kicks the bad guys ass (good guy gets of course hurt and bad guy seemed like a nice guy in the beginning, though he had that look on his not as good as the good guy's looking face).
If anyone will try to kill the good guy, no matter how much martial arts they know or no matter how many years they spent in the marine they'll lose, because they'll hesitate in the last moment. But good guy won't. You with me?
Good luck!
I have a horsie.
Oh for goodness sakes! He aks for ideas, and all you give him is a bunch of sarcastic answers??!?! Give him a real idea--- here's one for you... ...December 31st---> Jack Camden has turned the big 3-0 this year, and his life is at it's wits ends. His wife of 6 months left him, took his kid, he has no job, he is an acholic, and since his father disowned him basically due to his problems etc. (poss. tell during dazed flashback)---> So he has no where to turn, and on December 31st something else happens bad (I dunno, make something up) and he gets so upset he is going to kill himself. He goes to the dam that they have in his state, and is about to jump off, when he hears the radio in his truck (which he conviently left on) say something about "Happy New Years" and now we get to start over... ...Jack mumbles something to himself about wishing he could start over and how that would be the best new years resolution ever, and then he jumps, but he doesn't topple, only hits his head on the celing above the dam port, and falls unconcious to the floor. Fade out... ...Fade in. Jack has been given his second chance, he is now a 30 year old minded man in a 9 year olds body. Of course you have fun with it, but eventually he is confronted with a life changing situation, but this time makes the RIGHT choice and lives happily ever after.
There, that's my idea, like it, you can have it, hate it, so be it. Anywayz, just don't jump on people who can't think up stories and ask for help.

Sorry, Disney has done that already (and better) in the movie "The Kid". Btw, why does it always have to be oiver-the-top dramatic (alcoholic/unemployed/divorced etc.). Full Monty was successful because the main characters were not complete failures but just ordinary decent chaps who lost their jobs.
As for movie ideas: imho especially as an indie filmmaker you have to shine with your ideas as you probably won't have much money to spend on set, actors or special/fx. Leave the ripoff and rehash to Hollywood. Need inspiration? Flesh out the following:
1) City trader discovers a mysterious message encoded in the price pattern of financial instruments, pointing to a terrible secret that could destabilize the world's financial system.
2) Upon exploring an old, haunted mansion a female private eye unleashes an ancient evil force which tries to take over the world but fails to even get past the detective. Its long slumber has not prepared it for dealing with modern grrls, let alone the 21st century world.
3) Joe's wife is sick with cancer. He tries his best to make ends meet for her and their three kids when his GP tells him he has contracted modified CJD from infected beef (a special one for all you drama queens out there).
Oh lord! First you trample my idea by comparing it to "The Kid" which is nothing like it, in that movie Bruce Willis meets his former self, in this he becomes his former self. And then you go about suggesting the kind of mundaine (sp?) repetitive plots that always arrive in indie films. CIA, FBI, why indie films always seem to be obsessed with visual f/x and "How many things can I blow up" I don't know. Mysterious messages, Ancient evil, can we say stoopid! And the last one is just plain ridiculous. So if you want to critizize my ideas, go ahead, but at least have something to back it up with! http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

Indie films obsessed with visual f/x? CIA? FBI? Err...please read posts you reply to properly before rambling nonsense.
Each idea starts off with a standard plot but has a twist in it:
1) A lot of conspiracy movies have been made but none dealt with the financial markets in particular afaik. "X-Files" meets "Wall Street" if you want.
2) The "evil force" in this case is not blair-witchy or evil-deadly but hilariously inept. The closest to that would be "Evil Dead 2" but there the force was actually quite potent. In this version it isn't.
3) Using BSE for a family drama would be a first and new. Depends on the scriptwriter how he fleshes it out.
Your idea is nothing more than "Family Man" meets "The Kid" - which is nothing bad in principle. A lot of movies take ideas from other films - and if you want to sell your film in a 30 sec cocktail party pitch the best thing is telling which movies it resembles as the financier gets a rough idea what it's all about (talking from experience here).
It's just that studios are probably flooded with ideas/scripts like these as similar movies are doing well at the box office atm.
Your ideas are exactly what we wrote, except that you tried to make them sound better. They suck ass and that's why you gave them away. Actually you two who pretended to help are the real hypocrates, since you tried to fool everybody by making them believe you had good ideas.
All of them are typical Hollywood screens, that no one would ever remember. Why waste time and money on such crap, that everybody has seen anyway (and then try to hide that one doesn't have any good ideas)? Stick with our original idea.
which was what exactly?
BSE a typical Hollywood screen? Do you even READ a post before you reply crap to it?
And what is your cool idea, ninjamonkie? Of course you keep the best idea for yourself. The guy asked for inspiration not our best ideas.
Besides, simple ideas for simple minds. The great majority of cinemagoers fancy a good night out and are not that much bothered by artie movies. Hence why Hollywood has a near-monopoly on blockbusters.

WHY are you posting here if you want to make blockbusters?
Did you read his topic before replying?
erm....? does it say "please disengage brain before logging on" anywhere?
I dont remember reading it.
top tip for getting ideas,
11am in the morning head down to the nearest pub,
consume lots of alcohol then go onto a nightclub. stop drinking roughly 4am in the morning
then stay awake for the next week, and eat lots of cheese
if the halucinations havent kicked in by then , trust me your going to have very f*cked up dreams

steady guys.... sure PI (one of my fave films ever by the way, and Im an ex-mathematician (too bloody hard)- MSc in the damn subject - just thought Id throw that in) does touch on the stock market, but there is plenty more juicy stuff in there, wasnt assyrix suggesting a mysterious conspiracy? Weird alien power perhaps? Government agents? - that isnt the world of PI is it?
Besides its just food for thought....
Alien conspiracy is a new idea.
assyrix, you have obviously not seen darren arronofsky's (or however you spell it) PI which is a thriller about the stock market. i think maybe you should look it up. it was only one of the biggest indie films of 1999 and a great film with it . i would say claiming the idea as your own would be against the law. never mind , just your best "idea" gone , keep thinking.
I have actually seen Pi, interesting film, and true, it deals with stock market exuberances (I have completely forgotten about that one, bleh).
I'd like to know from Sean Silver if all our ranting and arguing actually gave him any idea about a short film - otherwise it was much ado about nothing http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/frown.gif
so basically, the poor sod who started this topic hasnt got an answer or any help whatsoever!?
Nevermind, he got too see alot of people ranting and raving about idea's. At the end of the day, not everyone loves the same kind of film, so your idea (whatever it is) may appeal to someone else.
Good luck for everyone's idea's and projects
Regards

" what did i tell you, what did I say to you?
I said buy the roadmap and leave...."
I Think Sean Silver is a Senior who created an alter ego to start this rampage (just like me).
Anything can be an interesting subject if treated properly and filtered through your own personal cheese and whatever personality. the trick is to find what stands out or attracts your attention no matter how slightly or for what reason.
it could be something seen every day but not noticed before "In that contect" Like a jugsaw puzzle in a tornado eventually some of the peices will fit together or be in proximity with each other.
others are crashed together but do not really fit.
"Sometimes 1+1 do not equal 2"
Perspective can be learned, or tought.
Without any outward macinations just for a split second pretend that anything you can touch, smell, taste, and hear, around you is real, anything you see through a window or hear through the glass is a hologram designed to keep you sane because you are on a very long space voyage and to see nothing but stars for 20 years of your life would drive you to madness.
If you consider testing this thoery with a projectile, you have probably carried the exercise a teensy bit to far. and should perhaps consider the fact that you were actually out there (The world) before you started to consider windows holograms.
Should this not break the mood think how you will sound explaining to guy repacing the window at Burger World that you were just debunking a common myth while waiting for your fish sandwich and diet soda. The swat team will be glad to hear we are not really on our way to the crab nebula as well.
If this fails stick a slice of lunch meat to the appeture in question. for three valid reasons 1 Holographic projectors hate that. 2 You might be able to concoct a reasonable explination for this behavior and have someone almost try to believe you. 3 its cheaper.
Should the lunch meat begin to layer like shingles two three deep, you need a pet or a less wasteful way to amuse yourself depending on the Brand in question.
Collecting 800 pound chuncks of cement worked for me, Until I was made aware rather abruptly that I lived on the second floor.
Or next time you are in a supermarket carry a 20 pound frozen turkey up to the check out and ask the person in front of you if they would mind trading you loavs of bread. Offer the turkey, like it was the most rational thing in the world. If they look too shocked for too long, how you get out of it is up to you.
If they actually trade you and take posession of the turkey tell them "But I need my turkey back."
Carry a notepad for the obvious reason that some people don't like turkey.
"You are the rudest #&*(##!! I have ever seen."
Yes but what was your first reaction when I said.. Scribble, Scribble, Hmmm. I see
Buy chocolate syrup, carmel, crushed almonds, the largest tub of cooking lard, KY jelly and a box of condoms. Bitch about the fit. Think about it and it works for both sexes.
