An evil space alien from the planet Haupzor descends on the city of Chicago with the intention of dismantling it by destroying one sports team at a time until there is nothing left.
I hadn't thought that far ahead. The Fire fan base would rise up against the HaupBeast and defeat it. I suppose Will Smith could be that guy.
I've been contemplating writing a screenplay for a while. The plot runs sort of like a chick flick, but my plan would be for the cinematography to elevate it to being more of an art film. Basically, if I had all the budget in the world, it'd be focused as a love letter to the City of Chicago; thematically, not plot-wise. Because everyone LOVES New York for some reason, I want my city to get some more love in film than it's seen in a while. Although, I wouldn't just have it focus on the cinematography, I want to make sure the plot is still there and has some stark differences to other rom-coms, I guess. Just, something different. I wrote some scenes for a playwriting class my junior year of high school, but I still haven't figured out a whole motivation and structure yet. Haven't looked into working on it in a year or so and the idea is kind of on hold until after I finish with my other "art project". Oh, you guys wanted a joke answer. How about a kid with superpowered farts? That'd make at least enough to buy an MLS team.
Stolen from a random and completely unrelated tweet tonight: “Horror Movie Idea: Racist whites get trapped inside a black history museum that comes alive.”

Jurassic Mark. A con-man played by Nicholas Cage, convinces Costa Rican tourists to part with their money to visit an island with real dinosaurs.
Upton Sinclair's 'The Jungle,' set in a modern-day slaughterhouse. Best jobs that I ever had, best people that I ever worked with. I worked alongside people from Mali, Mexico, Morocco, Croatia, and Serbia. Everyone but the Slavs thought that I was also an immigrant, and kept telling me that it was safe for me to admit where I was really from LOL AFAIK, the only film based upon the book that was ever made was a silent one, and no print survives.
This actually sounds decent. As a comedy, drama, or action flick, the premise sounds cool. A problem, though, would be the obvious comparison to Taxi Driver. The main character could be an un-/under- employed, underpaid lib arts graduate trying to survive in the big city while re-paying his student loans.
Its called 'About Last Night' Check it out and youll know Chicago in the early '80s. ---Here is one--- An evil entrepreneur with a shady past buys an emerging team in an emerging sports league. It soon becomes clear the new owner is a social Lamprey, seeking only to sap the vitality of the entire operation. One day, he is murdered on the pitch by the teams plush dog mascot. After the shock subsides the hunt for the mascot, who has scampered off in the confusion, begins. The police quickly locate the hired pantomime actor tied up and gagged in the mascot dressing room. Who was in the costume?? Was it the shotgun obsessed red haired scion of the supporters group? Was it the Canadian billionaire upset at his daughters taste in men? Was it an injured player denied a settlement? The ex-mayor of a debt riddled small town? Everyone is a suspect.
On the topic of get away drivers, Baby Driver. Will Ferrell is a Hogwarts graduate working as a getaway driver. In a pinch he can transfigure into a baby
The Impossible Dream. A movie with Will Ferrell that does not suck everything bad in the world and throw Seth Rogan in it as well. The two of them are just f*cking awful. They should go to the island of the terminally unfunny.
So like, this CIA agent discovers that someone he's been surveilling has the best singing voice he's ever heard (the dude sings in the shower), and since he's inconsequential to the investigation (not a supercriminal or anything - just an innocent mark), he tries to find a way to get him noticed by the music industry without revealing how he discovered his magnificent singing voice. And fell in love. Don't have a title for it yet, but I'm pretty sure it'll be a hit.
