Logline

Okay guys,
Take in a movie (or rent one, or if you already own one)...and afterwards, put on your thinking caps and see if you can come up with a hook (the logline) for the movie you just watched.

When you've done this, get back on this discussion board, list your movie and then your logline.

Don't worry if you think it's silly, crazy, whatever...it's just an exercise.

PS: Let's see who can write a creative logline that will make us want to check out that flick!

***Samples***

Here are some samples from scripts written.

"A teenage girl battles with ancient, mind-controlling parasites, overcoming crippling delusions to save her friends and herself."
(Shy by Don Riemer)

"When night falls, a demolition crew must fight to escape an infamous abandoned hospital."
(I.C.U. by Eric Reynolds).

"An eccentric monk must figure out why a golem is attacking pilgrims before they're killed off one by one."
(Chaucer's Pilgrimage of Blood by James Ivan Greco & David Folmar).

Talofa Writers!

It's been some time since I've posted, sorry so long. Just wanted to share a bit of good news...although I didn't win any $$$$, Idid however make it to the top 50 and that means if they're interested; producers, directors, agents will be able to contact me in regards to my screenplay (even though it's not complete yet). So, anyways, if you happen to pick up a copy of Creative Screenwriting Magazine (March/April 2011 issue), check out page 53.
