You're killing me, with the" no slapstick" rule, Phil

Mark

Quoted from M.Alexander No title yet.  Any suggestions? Logline:  After Satan's cell phone ends up in the hands of a couple stoners, all hell breaks loose as the forces of darkness come against them to get it back.

I like this one, as long as you keep it from being too similar to many other stoner movies. The "Satan" angle helps.

I got nothing for the title. I'm horrible at titles.

Quoted from ArtyDoubleYou A training martial artist accidentally buys an assasins phone and must figure out how to save the final target.

I like this one. I don't really have much to say about it... Martial arts and assassins?!

Quoted from Gary in Houston Blown Connection

This looks like it could work, but I worry you'll run into a lot of potential plot holes if you aren't careful. First: who would even want to sell him the cellphone in the first place? What's the motivation?

Not to mention you would have to do some research on the locations/etc. unless you're familiar with this kinda stuff already.

Quoted from Gary in Houston Off the Grid

This one is decent, but aside from the geocaching angle (I didn't even know what that was before you told me), it's not that different than a lot of other ideas here.

My two cents.

I didn't say 'no slapstick.'


Phil

I always take pisstake for slapstick.

Will, thanks for the feedback--I agree it would take a lot of research for something like that, which is why I might consider moving it instead to the U.S. and making the terrorists U.S. based.  The motivation for selling it would be to shift blame to another person or organization.  But that needs to be thought through.  I may be unable to pull this off before the challenge ends, however.

I agree the other one probably needs a change of direction.  I like the geocaching angle, because it's easy to incorporate the phone angle.  Maybe the guy starts finding bodies--victims of a serial killer.  That might be a little different.

Blown connection - that looks complicated to pull off, but a decent basis of a political thriller

Off the grid - like the geocache angle, but the greatest treasure didn't seem to fit

M Alex - all I would say is that the title should really have the stoner element as this will drive the humour - it needs to sound like a comedy.

The like the "average guy finding bodies" part. That's not something you see a lot in serial killer scripts.

Hey ho, a few ideas...not good ones, but still

A devilish Call

When Satan's Engaged

Chill out Satan, or Cool it Satan

Or the obvious...

We stole the devils phone

When we stole the devils phone

Ok, none are good

Quoted from Reef Dreamer Ok, none are good

No, Bill, those aren't good, but I'm sure M appreciates all the help he can get.

Help please

I'm seriously running out of time and chances.

I'm going with my idea, Phone Buddy. What I could do with is example films where...

# A character or thing, animal, comes to life - by magic etc

# It turns into a buddy movie

# The characters clash like hell - chalk and cheese

# but it can't go on - ie not men who become mates, eg Planes trains automobiles

I feel as if there should hundreds of these but I can't think of the now - long day.

Thoughts

Can people team up if they want or is that a no-no?

Quoted from Dreamscale No, Bill, those aren't good, but I'm sure M appreciates all the help he can get.

Yeah, agreed - I'm tired.

I think you can team up. I mean we're helping each other with ideas.

Do these all have to be in one movie?

Quoted from Mr.Ripley I think you can team up. I mean we're helping each other with ideas.

I mean like collaborate, co-write.
