Default Pitch your film idea

The people of Aberdeen Music are a group of wealthy businessmen and women and have decided to invest in a Hollywood film. You are a film producer and you want their money. Pitch your idea to them. It can be anything from a long elaborate set-up, complete with cast, plot, and director etc, to something as simple as "Top Gun 2", or "Byker Grove - The Movie"!

Here's my pitch:

The working title is "Young At Heart". The selling point is that we cast all the comedy heroes of the 70s and 80s, the SNL regulars etc, creating a nostaglic "dream cast" and possibly resurrecting a couple of careers along the way. I'm talking Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Rick Moranis, John Goodman, Harold Ramis, Gene Wilder, Eric Idle, Eddie Murphy, Ted Danson, Martin Short, Billy Crystal etc. They play a group of old frat buddies who last saw each other when they left college in 1970, and find themselves reunited 40 years later to attend the funeral of one of their bretheren who has died. They all swore before leaving college that even if they all lost touch, no matter what happened they would all attend the funerals when one of the group died, and would have an epic party like the one they had the night before they left college for the last time. Cue much hilarity as a group of cantankerous 60 year olds set about trying to throw a raucous frat party that none of them can be arsed with, and of course they all end up having a brilliant time, rekindling old friendships, and ends on a subtle "you're only as old as you feel" message.

Personally I think it's genius.

Would you invest? And do you have a better idea to pitch?

Its called Super Slick Sexy Squirters It starts off in a bedroom wtih Cytherea in lacey underwear. She takes it off and starts rubbing herself. This goes on throughout the movie with various different other girls and male supporting actors and ends on a grand finale where all the cast are awash in a sea of female ejaculate in some penthouse sitting room with plastic over all the furniture and carpets.

How fitting that a post about a squirt-porn film pitch earns me a rusty sherriff's badge. Yas!

you should e-mail there agents but dont let Miramax make it coz they'll just get matt damon and that other prick
