Read books on how to write screenplays, read screenplays. Start writing and never stop and you'll make it.

alright. so a meteor crashes into earth which contains a biological material on its surface. scientists take the organic compounds and explore it and discover incredible scientific properties of it. time passes and eventually the scientists find a way to bind the organic matter named MRC-7 to telomeres, and the matter is like a stem cell so it replicates the telmoeres and causes chromosomes to never unravel and leads to immortality. now while this shits been going on, the scientists also found that the material spread a pathogen through the air which targets people with a specific blood type... more?

fucking boring, too many big words.

rock falls from sky fucks up people. years later, fucked up people either wakes up or heals or something, has powers, fucks shit up. rock turns out to be a sentient creature and each person has a little piece of alien in them.


sounds familiar yes, but it's perfect popcorn movie. all that shit about chemical x and telemetry y would lose a fucking audience in a flash.
>>
>>63723088

Unless you're a jew or know someone who can help you, there's no chance.
>>
>>63723480
That's not a very good pitch. It's too detailed. A good pitch would be "Meteor crashes to Earth and people with O bloodtype get powers." "It's [successful film] meets [another successful film]"

>>63723088

itll sort itself out eventually
>>
>>63723672
i'm exploring humanity at this very moment in a story i'm doing. suck at writing scripts and stuff, can exposition as good as the best of them though so maybe there's a chance.

people are almost always kinda dumb though. so when able, point them in good guy direction, bad guy direction and then build shit around those two. so as long as they know who is good and who is bad, you could say the most complex shit ever.

>Save the Cat
>Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting
>The Screenwriter’s Bible

Also read screenplays to films that you have enjoyed online.

A man finds out that the Jews run Hollywood.
>>
>>63723088
Are you Jewish?
>>
>>63723936
You should include that the protagonist visits centuries that he's not allowed to. Otherwise it sounds like there's centuries he can't visit and won't in the film. Unless he doesn't do that in your film, which would be way more boring.

>>63723480

It's fucking easy, my whole family has done it. Wait a sec, you're Jewish, right?
>>
>>63724005

No, I mean there are some centuries that their machines are not able to visit. They're locked out of these centuries. And the story would unfold the reason behind this.
>>
>>63724028
The original idea doesn't exist.
>>
>>63724074
You should somehow include that in your pitch. Because the first thing I thought of is that the protagonist is curious and doesn't do what he's told to do.

>>63724028
thanks anon, i gotta watch more shit and read more shit to make sure im not imitating or anything

Oh oh oh do me do me

>An ordinary guy wakes up one morning to find himself in the body of a bosomy woman played by Kat Dennings. He sleeps his way through the city's lesbian elite, played by the likes of Allison Brie and Anna Kendrick. Eventually he comes up against the titqueen, played by Christina Hendricks, who reveals that she was once an ordinary guy like himself who specifically selected him as her sapphic successor.

It eventually comes to a showdown between Kat Dennings against Eva Amurri on who'll carry on Christina Hendrick's legacy.

Hmm probably in real terms unfortunately, heard some stories.

>>63723088
It's only impossible if you're not a natural desu.

Creativity can't really be taught.

Your pitch was far too detailed. It's supposed to be a taster, a little peek of your idea, not the whole story in many paragraphs.

A film idea should be little more than a few sentences.

It also helps if you're naturally creative, and know what people like.

>he believes the idea steal meme.

If you think that your movie idea is too good to tell anyone. It's 99% sure going to be shitty.

Only YOU can see what you want your film to be assuming you want to direct it, someone couldn't come along, see your idea and make the film that YOU wanted to make.

Everyone has different ideas and style, it's hard to make something based on an idea without adding bits of your own personality to it.

Anyone could come along and paint a vase with sunflowers.

That doesn't make it a van gogh.

Here you go anon, you can have this one for free since it's not really my genre.

You have to be a well connected jew.

When hollywood got started, as in the silent era, movies were the lowest tier of entertainment. Much like youtubers today. Lower than even vaudeville. The patrician arts were controlled by people who did not like jews, so the jews took the jobs that were available to them. This explains the multi-generational influence the jews had on the motion picture industry.
>>
>>63725353
Seems odd that it wouldn't be popular

You'd think it would be considered very innovative, how foolish of goyim not to take advantage of a clearly exploding industry

Extremely likeable but violent gangster gets increasingly more violent but remorseful throughout the film, Ultimately, his own gang kills him.

The idea is to get people to have conflicted emotions about him, wanting him to die because he's an asshole but also to live because he's not REALLY a bad guy.

My pitch
>So it's a giant snake movies right? But instead of having some cliche plot about it being a bio-weapon designed by the military or mutated by chemicals or being some sort of living fossil, we make it an alien. An alien on an alien world.

It's the future, Earth is terraforming a bunch of new worlds and the cast are works sent to this planet in the middle of the process to take over. But oh shit there's a giant snake that's gonna eat them.

Think 'Anaconda' meets 'Pitch Black'

>>63723088
nobody can stop you from writing anything 'nobody can stop you from entering LA and finding Hollywood

you will however wonder the streets as hundreds of other starving artists who think their idea is a golden goose. Start small, work as an intern on a movie set and work your way up through busting your ass and maybe not get swindled by somebody who will steal your idea

>The rest of the movie is the main character who again, is not a fudge packer, sueing city council for building a water main without proper current discharge ability and with extremely bad foundations
