The Score
Ideas
- House robbery
- Speed-dating
- Drug dealer (bigger picture)
- Bully
- Mugging gone wrong
- Teenagers planning heist, seems like it’s for
a big thing, loads of detail and it’s only for twenty pounds. Plan with
visions of what will happen (perfectly) but when they actually do it, it
goes wrong. “ITS 20! THAT’S MORE THAN 5 BIG ONES EACH!”- but its twenty
pounds not grand

NJO - Fab, some good ideas here Joe. Can we post the script separately from your initial ideas (First Draft Script) so that we can find it more easily and so I can give you comments on the script specifically.
ReplyDeleteNJO - Some good background detail to your main characters Joe. Next step will be posting ideas about who you have cast and why you have chosen those particular actors - are there any limitations to that choice? Acting ability? Realism? Age?
