Our Pitch

So I got Charlie on board. I'm on board. It was time to write.

See, here's the silly, silly thing. Producer Dude basically said "Will you write me a movie?" I said "Yes, we will." He said "OK. It shoots in January."

So plans are set in motion. Deals are being made. Money is being collected.

And we didn't even have an idea yet.

What we had were PARAMETERS.

1) One location.
2) Action.
3) No special effects.
4) Don't suck.

That last one is more a guideline than a rule.

There are other rules, based on the markets Producer Dude can sell to (Helllll-oooooo South Korea!) but when push comes to shove, what you see is what you get.

So. One location. 90 minutes. Exciting. Fast-moving. Adrenaline-pumping. One location.

Anyone know if "No Exit" is available to be adapted? What, not exciting enough?

Charlie and I put our two heads together and came up with a bunch of really cool ideas. Then we dropped them all because they took place in, like, LOTS of locations. Silly us. Then we had some more ideas and they.. they also needed a couple of locations. This wasn't going very well.

Eventually, of course, we found an idea. And what was really great was that Producer Dude actually liked it. Which is good, becuase he'd already bought it. More or less.

Is it a work of art? Uhm... no... Will it make for a fun movie that you can enjoy while eating popcorn? (Do they eat popcorn in South Korea?) Yes.

Here it is. Our pitch.

Die Hard in a house.

It's actually a bit more complicated than that, but I don't want to give anything away and deprive our Reader the joy of discovering the plot twists when he/she has it shipped to them from overseas so they can watch it.

So. Die Hard in a house. Without the budget. Or Bruce Willis.

There are those who will say that Bruce himself already made Die Hard in a house.

It was called Hostage.

Didn't see it.

I gotta go write now.
