    It’s about a family which is under a curse that makes them die young. But it turns out the curse is actually just the millionaire family patriarch stealing organs from his descendants so he can live longer. And it ends with him locking himself in a panic room because his children and grandchildren form a mob to kill him. But what he doesn’t know is that his emergency supply of immunosuppressants has been removed, so he dies a painful death as his body rejects its foreign parts while they have him trapped.

    For legal purposes this is not based on the life of any actual living man with too much money who pumps out kids like it’s his reason to live.

    A set of interwoven stories, the main being a love story. At the very end, right as everything is coming together, the planet explodes and as the screen zooms out to show the death star next to a debris field music begins to play… looking for love in Alderaan places

    A student film maker asks for movie pitch ideas on a popular social media forum and receives the perfect idea. The person responding is actually a rouge A.I. that coerces the OP into cowriting the movie script, which gets accepted by the movie production company. The rouge A.I. then infiltrates OP’s life by making them famous online and rich and happy beyond their wildest dreams, only to be slowly taken away by the A.I. until OP is broke and living out of their car which only starts when the A.I. allows it to. OP dies in their car when the A.I. shuts the car off as the car is pulling up to train tracks. Woooooo Woooooooooo

    Based off of a short little story a friend of mine wrote for a story he was working on. He agrees it would be cool, if done correctly.

    The story first focuses on a bird spirit who lives in the mountains, early 1800s America, who gets shot in the beak with a bow and arrow by some Natives and ends up having to replace his beak with a wooden beak he makes on his own. He ends up messing up making the beak and it now only opens and closes when he takes a step, closing shut with a loud SNAP of the beak. This spirit, known under the regional name Wood Beak, used to let people know of its’ presence by walking around a nearby town and people would only ever catch the silhouette of a human sized bird. Eventually people in the town start to go missing and they blame it on Wood Beak.

    This next part is original and not based off of my friends work.

    Fast-forward to modern day. The town has grown larger but is still a relatively small town. A couple of amateur online paranormal investigators come to the town in the middle of winter in order to film and document the Wood Beak disappearances. The majority of the town don’t take the whole idea of Wood Beak being a paranormal being seriously and instead suggest it was just a serial killer playing a sick joke on the town. Eventually they meet a young adult Native who tells them that he wholeheartedly believes that Wood Beak was an angered spirit and that his ancestors never fully atoned for angering him. One night while up late in their hotel, the investigators hear what sounds like the sound of a wooden beak snapping shut. They run out to find the silhouette of Wood Beak. The next day, nobody believes them. This happens the next night as well and some other people who hear it blame the investigators, saying that they’re just doing this so they can get views online. A few nights later and people start going missing again, like they did over 200 years ago. In the end it turns into a race against time to stop Wood Beak as the town slowly devolves into chaos.

      I got an idea for a movie! It’s about this guy… who wished and wished 'til it came true and now this kid can fly.

      And we will have adventures, like the boy and his bottle did. Put a happy ending there and it’ll write itself, I swear.
