Title: Kanan Rhodes: Unkillable Servant of Justice
Logline: A man serves subpoenas with the suaveness, intensity and conviction of James Bond, though that is where the similarity ends.
Writers: Bob Odenkirk, B.J. Porter and Scott Akurman
Type-O's Naomi & Bob Odenkirk will direct. Rainn Wilson will star.
If I were an executive, this is all I would need to know to greenlight the script. The logline and the title combine to let me know this is reminiscent of The Man Who Knew Too Little, which was hysterical. But instead of being an unknowing participant in the events of his life, this guy is clearly someone who takes his job too seriously. And when you tell me the star is Rainn Wilson, I know exactly what this film will be and I'm already chuckling at the scenes that are playing out in my head.
That's how you sell a movie.
It had me at Bob Odenkirk.
