I've just finished a script and I'm in the process of looking for the right agent but now i'm going to start something new. So first I need to do some market research...Interested? So if you've got the time let me know what you think and dont be afraid to have fun with it.

1) Kind of movie you'd like to see (Drama, Action, Comedy) etc.

2) Kind of plot ( ie; homeless kid tired of being beaten down by society seeks to change it, one way or another!)

3)Kind of Characters (Tragic, oppressed, brilliant, lumbering) etc.

4) Kind of Visuals ( Star wars .... life of pi)


Note: I'm just trying to get a bead on what people want to see. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Since this topic flopped, I'll start you off...


He's a war-weary hunchbacked firefighter with acid for blood. She's a supernatural tomboy widow who can talk to animals. They fight crime!

He's a deeply religious devious househusband with a robot buddy named Sparky. She's a time-travelling thirtysomething widow from the wrong side of the tracks. They fight crime!

He's a genetically engineered chivalrous werewolf with no name. She's a pregnant junkie nun fleeing from a Satanic cult. They fight crime!

He's a time-tossed guerilla shaman in drag. She's a time-travelling junkie research scientist with her own daytime radio talk show. They fight crime!

He's a one-legged hunchbacked messiah on the edge. She's a mentally unstable communist vampire living on borrowed time. They fight crime!

i think if i had to choose, id go with the second one. i dont know tho. im really into (a) the chick-flick romantic comedy, ie Sweet Homa Alabama, How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days. and (b) ...i dont know what to call them...action? like National Treasure and The Interpreter. I dont like sci-fi, or whatever you would classify Star Wars as, and i dont do horror, not at all (i get nightmares) and i like things that are feasable, no fantasy or anything, i like watching stuff that is totally possible to be real life stuff. anywho, i dont know if that helps at all, it really has to do with personal preferance. my boyfreind would much rather watch all of the star wars movies in order, than sit down and watch Pretty Woman with me, lol.
