Quoted from Leegion ...already 37 pages through.  It's the Buddy-Cop movie I was talking about, crazy, off-the-walls and insane. Dreamscale mentioned RIPD.  Well, think "The Other Guys" meets "21 Jump Street" only with aliens and homophobic elves in a town surrounded by volcanoes... It's like nothing you've read/seen before, yet it is.

Congrats, you are much further than me.  

I have 18 pages so far, but I'm going to give them a tweak so the first act drops down to 15.

Just be careful with what you're writing.  It sounds a little, I don't know, out there, and it's good to write something "we have never seen before" but also be careful of that phrase, too.  I'll reserve judgment, though, until I have read the final product!  

15 pages seems like a very short first act to me.

You've seen it before, just not like this.  

I am being careful not to go too OTT.  I watched "The Heat" last night for the first time, so I have even more to go on in the buddy-cop comedy department.

It'll be coming shortly.  

The title is "A Nevermore Story".  

Quoted from Leegion The title is "A Nevermore Story".

I'm sorry, but that's a horrible title right off the bat, IMO.  Especially for a story such as the one you described in a previous post.  

Title sounds too much like Neverending Story.

...it's meant to sounds like it, lol.  Nonetheless, it's merely a placeholder until I come up with something more nutty.  "UFO: Ultimate Federal Organization" is one I'm looking at.

"Darth Crusoe and Sir Mandibles Take on the World" - strong possibility, as it sounds pretty funny.

Hahah, best of luck with the titles!

Buddy cop movie about chasing after aliens? Sounds a lot like Men in Black.

Quoted from DV44 Buddy cop movie about chasing after aliens? Sounds a lot like Men in Black.

A buddy-cop movie with an alien-human partnership as they chase Elves on an island surrounded by volcanoes with just 1 straight road.

I've landed on a title: "Darth Crusoe & Sir Mandibles: Nevermore Defenders".

Logline: A human cop teams with an alien from outer-space to take on a super evil Elf.

Seriously?

LOL - what is your take, Jeff?

Well... it's different, I suppose.

Quoted from Guest LOL - what is your take, Jeff?

Not to be mean or anything, but my take is that first of all, it's very hard to take seriously.  It sounds like a big old pisser, to be honest.

Is this supposed to be a serious script?

Yeah.  I just wanted an unforgettable title...

Sounds kind of like the Guardian of the Galaxy movie coming out later this year. What's interesting is the fact the story takes place on an island surrounded by volcanoes with only one straight road. What's the significance of only one straight road?

I'll be honest too... I agree.

I'll also agree with Dustin - it is different.

At first, to me, it sounded like Lee went a little over board looking for that "exceptional" element that "we have never seen before."

Regardless, I'll still give it a shot and try to read it first before I decide it's not for me.
