Rejected Movie Ideas
The Correctness is working on cracking into the Hollywood market. We’ve been busy coming up with film ideas. Here are a few that we’ve pitched and, for reasons we can’t fathom, have been rejected.
HOLOCAUST DOLPHINS (Working Title)
The touching and troubling story of a pod of dolphins that are captured by Nazis and placed in a seaside internment camp in July 1940.Will the beauty of these majestic creatures overcome the cruelty of man? Can the dolphins find warmth and love in the midst of cold, unrelenting fascism?
CONSTANT ENCOUNTER
Shia LeBeouf to star in the story of an ordinary man who is placed in a series of strange, action filled encounters, while trying to discover the reason why he is being… we haven’t actually figured out the rest, but Shia, action, encounters!!!! Look, if Spielberg and Lucas don’t need to make sense in their screenplays these days, we don’t see why we should.
TO THE MANOR BOURNE
The story of a proper English butler and the house he tends. Trouble comes in the form of a young American maid and her uncouth ways, which sparks a forbidden and burning desire between them. Add a secret agent with amnesia to the mix, and we have a film guaranteed to please both men and women. Think Die Hard meets Howard’s End.
SENSE AND SENSIBILITY AND SENSELESS VIOLENCE
When the Mr. Dashwood dies, the Dashwood women are left in reduced circumstances. As they make their way to a cottage in the country, they succumb to rabies (or perhaps the ancient evil of vampirism?) and bite each other to death- though not before they feast on the flesh of half the innocent citizens of Upper Wickforderstecheshire. Come for the biting, stay for the lesbian vampire blood orgy.
LOW BUDGET VIRAL HORROR THING II: RETURN OF THAT THING: THE REBUDGETINATING
After the runaway success of Low Budget Viral Horror Thing, and their innovative ad campaign which was web based, or on youtube, or scrawled inside a downtown telephone booth, or some such, millions upon millions of dollars have been thrown at the production of a sequel. The original writer and director were sold up the river by the original producer, who accepted a check to pay off the original production costs, and green-lit a script for the sequel that barely resembles the original. Megan Fox takes her top off. Twice.
