How is it that movie makers can be lacking creative ideas and seek to simply sequel, prequel and remake already amazing movies? All of these attempts are failing, people want originality, at least I do. Nothing in theater's lately has really struck my fancy apart form a few book-to-movies that I deemed must-sees. (Twilight, Harry Potter, He's Just not that into you, etc.)
I can come up with original movie ideas left and right, why can't they? Here's some concepts I'm thinking in a nutshell:
-A movie about restaurant workers facing dramas in their own sub-plot lives. At the restaurant there's a drug gang working to take over the city and and undercover cop comes to work at the restaurant and help take down the leader. He falls in love with one of the gang whores. She betrays him, he gets almost killed and a nerdy under-dog server saves the day. In the mean time the unlikely restaurant managers are discovered as leaders of the drug ring, not the greasy cooks as anticipated.
-There needs to be more movies about debate in general. It's yeah, kind of nerdy, but it can be cool. There needs to be a story of a crappy program turning around and dominating the circuits. In the mean time everyone on the team secretly plans to transfer out of their current under-recognized program, despite the fact that together they're dominating the circuits. The coach in the story needs to be crazy eccentric, fun but a total bitch at the same time. The team needs to be composed of all different types of people from pot heads, to nerds to drama geeks, musicians and ex-jocks who unite for a greedy love of recognition, sex and partying. The team is all plotting to transfer or quit, and the coach feels betrayed and goes crazy when she finds out. She tries then to win her team over by throwing them a party and buying booze. One of the girls on the team rats out the coach and the program gets eliminated and the coach fired. The team realizes they've screwed up and they unite to bring the program back. Although they'll succeed in bring it back the coach gets rehired only as a speech teacher and a new coach is hired, all of the team still transfers. The team however all stay friends, even at different schools, and the ex-coach helps the new coach build up an amazing program even better than the first. Some of the people on the old team end up getting into major trouble with drugs, grades, too much sex, etc. and it's not all a happy ending.
-Girls that are friends in first grade contine their friendships up through high school. High school however is not all it seems. Sure there's the popular crowd, but there's another crowd of people trying to fit into a sub group. That sub group all fits in together as eating-disorder, indy-music, wrist-cutting cliques. Hollywood only shows the Barbie-Doll cliques of high school, but sometimes the alternive groups are just as bad, if not worse, about accepting people for who they are. The girls struggel with these changes. They used to be the booksy-artsy girls, now they're divided by razor blades, lack of food and black hair dye.
-Choir. Music is so unappriciated in movies, at least GOOD music. Not like high-school-musical stuff. There needs to be some type of movie about the hardships of being in choir at school, and band. There's so much drama and comedy in those activities that goes unappriciated. Plus the soundtrack would be killer.
-People on the coast may have their beaches, but the real action is in the midwest with the lakes. Surfers just wait on mother nature to make the waves to ride. People in the midwest get to have more fun with boat drivers making the waves to wake board and water skii on. While waiting their turns there's plenty of scenes that can take place on beaches with some hot muscel guys and girls posing on the shore listening to music and playing volleyball while grilling and camping. It's every bit as marketable as a beach movie, but with more action. Lots of people drown in lakes while drinking and skinny diping. Lots of people drown while jet skiing and people get decapitated by tubing and skiing with uneaven ropes, if they aren't careful. There's lots of potential for an awesome movie.
Well there's a few of the many ideas!
