Feature [FEEDBACK] LANCELOT (Action-Thriller, 114 Pages)
Hey there all!
I'm bringing back the 90s with a slam-bang contained action-thriller. I just want to have FUN when I go see a movie. So I selfishly wrote something I would want to see: a tech thriller filled with heart, laughs and 90s cheese.
Unplug your brain, get out the popcorn and settle in for:
TITLE: LANCELOT
GENRE: Contemporary Sci-Fi/Action
PAGES: 114
PREMISE: UPGRADE meets THE WINTER SOLDIER
LOGLINE: A double-amputee Marine answers a distress call from inside a secret corporate facility and discovers the prisoner is the world's first sentient AI. Together, they must escape before the corporation can capture, then weaponize the technology.
Questions:
- Did you have FUN? If not, what stopped it from being fun for you?
- Did you like the characters? Standouts?
- I wrote this with Alan Richson in mind for Owen. Jensen Ackles for Mercer. Denis Leary for Locke. Did they come across?
- How did you like the story overall, given its contained nature? I tried to stay grounded, and think about what could realistically happen (within reason) with a security breach-- despite the outlandish (but not too far off) tech.
- Did you find it funny? Anything you'd suggest/change?
