One of these was a spec and one of these was a pitch, but they both sold in the same week to two different production companies:
Movie #1: A college student decides to debunk the urban legend of the Mercy Killer, a killer who makes his victims' deaths look like suicides, only to discover that he is all too real and has chosen her as his next victim.
Movie #2: Set in the world of urban legends on college campuses, with one horrifying legend in particular turning out to be true.
I guess they think we've all forgotten about Urban Legend by now.

Are you sure that those sales aren't also Urban Legends?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should write a movie about a girl who sells a script about an urban legend about a killer who targets people who sell scripts about urban legends.
Just a thought. :)
That is a fabulous idea, a veritable web of mystery and irony with a twist of familiarity. Genius. Oh, that will sell.
ReplyDeleteToo late...Done Deal just announced a preemptive purchase of a pitch at Paramount for a low six against a high seven at Paramount. Bummer. Back to the keyboard.
ReplyDeleteIt seems people with money have short memories. Even more so- little concept of good ideas.
ReplyDeleteBut hey, when my time comes to picth and overused idea- I won't want that to have changed, will I ;)
