Movie Pitch #3: Under The Hood

In December 2011, Anomalous Material, led by Castor, had held another Hollywood Fantasy Draft…but, it was done in a different way. We are no longer need to write Movie Pitch. However, because I pick all my actors based on the story I wanted to pitch…I decided to still write the pitch even though no one else had done it. I don’t want the actors I have picked go wasted.

The story is a bit cruel and I find it hard to write the ending. When I wrote it as a short story, it is fine to have a hanging ending but as a movie, I want it to have a clear ending…not as inconclusive as the short. You can read my original short story here.

Here goes my third movie pitch

Logline: Based on a short story by Novia Rozet, a.k.a me, comes the story of a serial killer unlike anyone has ever seen before. Will you believe your eyes when you see him?

Director: Guillermo DelToro

I chose him as my director because he could create the kind of atmosphere I want for my movie. He did well in creating mysterious and depressing atmosphere in Pan’s Labyrinth.

Cast:

Jennifer Connelly will play as Caroline Murphy, a smart and attractive homicide detective. She was a great detective but she had a mysterious aura that made her not so famous amongst other detectives. Her only friend was her partner and her boyfriend.

Random Hollywood 2

Random Hollywood is truly random My 1st Random Hollywood was written in Indonesian language (Bahasa), now…for my second Random Hollywood, I will write it in English. This can not be considered as a review post because I won’t review how the story goes…it is more like an insight – what I think about these movies.

In the past 2 months, I only watched few Hollywood movies (I watched a lot of Japanese TV series and Japanese movies this month) I will write 4 of them in 1 post. It starts from the newest one I watched.

• Robin Hood

I watched this movie yesterday. I went to theater and was expecting the same story as most Robin Hood movies … Fortunately, they’ve changed the story. I had a lot of fun comparing the differentiation of this movie and other RH movies. They’ve made a new Robin Hood, in some points it reminds be of Gladiator, especially when Robin becomes more adored by people than the king himself. The battle scene on the beach reminds me SO MUCH of saving Private Ryan. I love watching Cate Blanchett, she always acts really well. As for Russel Crow, he shouldn’t play as Englishman anymore!! His accent is not stable, he keeps changing his accent from time to time (It makes me sad to know Crow is more famous than Cillian Murphy whereas Murphy never fails in using American accent). My rating is 2 Stars (it was okay)

 

The Story: Robin Longstride comes back to London carrying King Richard’s crown. He told King John that he is Robert Loxley. He goes to Nottingham to bring back Loxley’s sword back to his father. Robin has to pretend to be Robert Loxley. When the Lords are planning to overthrow The King, Robin unites them back.
