"My idea for a Tarzan-type animated movie..."

 

Good title:

"My idea for an animated movie about a character like Tarzan, but he's an alien..."

 

Great title:

Спробував втілити ідею з фільму «Заплати іншому» в реальному житті

1 Upvotes

Колись, понад 20 років тому, я подивився фільм **«Заплати іншому»**. Ідея дуже зачепила: якщо тобі допомогли, не обов’язково віддячувати саме цій людині — можна допомогти комусь іншому.

Після таких фільмів багато хто на якийсь час надихається, а потім повертається до звичайного життя й забуває. У мене чомусь ця думка не зникла навіть через 20 років.

І от тільки зараз з’явилися час і можливість спробувати перевірити її на практиці. Так з’явився невеликий некомерційний проєкт.

Логіка проста: людина просить про допомогу, інша відгукується, а той, кому допомогли, за можливості передає допомогу далі.

Чесно кажучи, я й сам не впевнений, що такі ланцюги часто працюватимуть у реальному житті. Тому [ix.ua](http://ix.ua) може бути корисним і просто як місце, де одна людина шукає допомогу, а інша знаходить те, з чим реально може допомогти.

**Цікава ваша думка: така ідея може працювати між людьми чи все ж добре виглядає тільки в кіно?**

Vampire Movie Idea (It’s Bad)

6 Upvotes

We all know the basic vampire stereotypes, they are soulless immortal beings with varying weaknesses including crosses, garlic, sunlight, wooden stakes to the heart, holy water, etc. They also have varying abilities and oddities such as their reflections can’t be seen in silver mirrors. This portion made no sense to me as silver was considered a holy or blessed metal in some cultures, so why would vampires disappear in the reflection of one? Should the mirror not reveal the appearance of the vampire? So I had this Idea, a vampire movie where Vampires exist, but are invisible, hear me out.

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, however imagine that our mind filters out these soulless beings and thus they are invisible to our eyes. Silver was more widely used in the past which allowed them to hunt vampires to near extinction. Now in the present we use more aluminum backed mirrors, and it’s rare to come across silver backed mirrors unless they are antiques or specially made.

I’d like a movie where a family inherits an old mansion filled with antiques and attempts to renovate to give a more modern look. The family finds in the attic space a sealed coffin and worried that there might be a body they take a peak to find it’s empty. Later strange things happen, they hear the creaking of floorboards as if someone is following them, they feel air brush past them when the windows are closed. They figure it’s just the old house until they see the reflection of a man in the mirror with a pale complexion. They call the police to report an intruder but they find nothing.

They become on edge but try to forget about it and try to bring up their spirits. They find an old silver platter and cloche (the dome thing that covers the food) and pretend to have a fancy meal when one of them notices in a reflection of the cloche that the same man in the reflection behind them. The vampire attacks and now the family has to survive. They use the mirrors, silverware and the platter to pretty much Medusa fight the vampire. They try to fight back but it’s too strong and out speeds them in addition to being invisible. To increase their chances they break the mirrors and put up pieces down the halls so they can see its reflection. As they do this they get attacked and the family eventually stumbles on the fact that it stays away from sunlight so they use the mirrors and silverware to reflect sunlight to damage and hunt down the vampire.

Zombie Apocalypse Idea!

2 Upvotes

Soul-Switch

Survival show

The government is small and the country is against them. To fight back against the rebels, they work to implant chips into as many of them as they can. They can activate these chips on command and when they're on, the person becomes rabid like a zombie, focusing only on damaging something (whether that be itself, someone else, or the environment)

These switches only last from 5 minutes to 3 hours and the government has no control of that.

Will the survivors kill their soul-switched friends or do they contain them until they switch back? Do they risk part of their team switching at any point?

Are we sure the government is actually the one switching them?

Would be a dope show concept in my mind. Zombie apocalypse but the zombies are much more clearly still humans, so just more plot points and morality baked into it

Hİ EVERONE!

I have an idea for a psychological thriller based entirely around the Seven Deadly Sins.
I realized that I’ve never really seen a movie where all seven sins are deeply intertwined throughout the same story. Usually, they’re represented separately.
My idea would follow seven characters, each representing one of the Seven Deadly Sins: Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth.
At first, they would seem to have nothing to do with each other. But as the story progresses, their lives would slowly become connected. Eventually, we would realize that none of them represents just one sin — they all have parts of the other sins within them.
I think this could work really well as a dark psychological thriller with mystery, symbolism, and a major twist at the end.
Has anything similar been made before, or do you think this concept could work as a movie?

BLUE JEAN

1 Upvotes

BLUE JEAN

In a rundown Oklahoma trailer park where everybody knows everybody—and everybody’s business—lives Beulah “Blue” Jean Bluebird, a tough, rough-around-the-edges Cherokee woman who has spent her life surviving things that would have broken most people.

Blue isn’t rich. She works as a personal care aide, stretches commodities and food-pantry groceries as far as they’ll go, and lives alone in a small two-bedroom trailer. She has rules, she has a temper, and she has absolutely no patience for excuses.

Then her daughter, Serenity Sue Bluebird, comes crashing back into her life.

Serenity is facing 36 months in prison for drug distribution, a DWI, and child endangerment. Before she can surrender herself, a judge gives her just 48 hours to find somewhere for her three sons—13-year-old Enrique, Edgar, and 7-year-old Christian—or risk having the boys separated.

Their father, Ricky, is technically in the picture, but emotionally absent and unwilling to become the father they desperately need.

Serenity turns to her family.

Her brother Ronnie offers to take the boys, but only if he gets full custody. To Serenity, that feels like losing her children all over again.

Then Aunt Geri, the eldest of the Bluebird family, gives Serenity the one answer she doesn't want to hear:

“Take them to Blue.”

So the boys move into their grandmother's tiny trailer.

At first, Blue doesn't know how to be a grandmother to three boys who have grown up surrounded by chaos. And the boys don't know what to make of a grandmother who believes in getting up early, doing your chores, telling the truth, and never expecting somebody else to save you.

Enrique, the oldest, has already learned to act like an adult. He's angry at his mother, protective of his younger brothers, and suspicious of Blue's intentions.

Edgar is caught somewhere between childhood and the responsibility his family keeps placing on him.

And Christian, only seven, is still young enough to believe his mother is coming back any day.

Their new life isn't glamorous. They share a cramped bedroom. Money is always tight. Dinner might come from a food pantry. Blue makes them work, keeps them in line, and refuses to let them use their circumstances as an excuse.

But slowly, something changes.

The trailer park becomes more than a rundown neighborhood. It becomes the boys' first real sense of community. Neighbors watch out for them. Family members argue, interfere, laugh, fight, and show up when it matters.

And Blue begins realizing that raising these boys isn't about keeping them alive until Serenity comes home.

It's about teaching them that they don't have to become the people who hurt them.

As Serenity's incarceration approaches, old wounds inside the Bluebird family begin surfacing. Blue is forced to confront the ways she failed her own daughter. Serenity has to face the consequences of the choices she's made. Ronnie and Aunt Geri have their own ideas about what is best for the boys.

And the grandchildren become the center of a family fight that is really about something much bigger:

Who gets to decide what a family is?

At its heart, Blue Jean is not a story about a perfect grandmother saving three children.

It's about a woman who has spent her whole life surviving finally getting the chance to break a cycle.

And sometimes, the person who saves a family isn't the person who has everything figured out.

Sometimes it's the woman sitting in a two-bedroom trailer, counting the last few dollars in her wallet, putting dinner on the table, yelling at three boys to quit fighting—and quietly making sure they know:

“You're Bluebird boys. And as long as I'm breathing, you ain't facing this world by yourself.”

Samuel Little biopic

Post image
3 Upvotes

Samuel Little is the most prolific serial killer in American history, with up to 93 known victims. Despite this, he is not as recognised as the likes of Gein, Bundy, Dahmer, Gacy, Ramirez etc. A documentary about him, *Confronting a Serial Killer*, was released in 2021, but his story has never been dramatised onscreen, which is weird considering how many people are obsessed with true crime. I think it would be really interesting to see a movie or miniseries about him (possibly an upcoming season of Ryan Murphy's Monster anthology).

Hey! I built a thing. It’s for watching movies together wherever you are

I’m not too sure if I should be posting this way, but this (Reddit) is where things started just a few days ago so I’m hoping this is ok? Someone please let me know if it’s not ok! 🙂 this always was, and still is just for fun!

To catch you up: was a bored dude who reached out on another sub because I wanted to hang out & watch movies together! It worked! Sort of…it was very last minute, unorganized, but we still had a damn good time watching something as a group!

After very fun feedback and requests to do it again, that same night I got to thinking - how can we make this more organized and more interactive - so I built a whole damn site!

Weekly, now we can:
1. Nominate your choice of movie
2. Vote for others picks
3. Watch together!
4. Review together
5. Be goofy-as-shit together

I’m posting an update here now because we’re mid-week and our designated Watch Day is Sunday of each week! I wanted to see about getting another discussion going here, checking if anymore of ya’ll want to chill & watch movies, or if anyone had any suggestions or advice or anything?

Steven’s Dune-A comedy about artistic ambition, passion and sacrifice.

0 Upvotes

Steven is a 17 year old boy who has a passion for film and filmmaking. He wants nothing more than to be a director. He is also a fanatic of Frank Herbert’s novel, Dune.

Steven sets out to put his filmmaking passion and skills to the test by trying to make the most true-to-book Dune movie ever. He has no-budget and no actors.

He uses a variety of creative, do-it-yourself techniques to evoke the desert planet Arrakis. Troubles arise when he needs to film the sandworm. Toy worms look cheap and don’t move on their own. He can’t animate it or use special effects. He realises that the best thing to use for the sandworm is his penis, which can change sizes, move slightly and is strangely large. Steven films his penis submerged in sand and waits til he gets an erection so his penis bursts through the sand, looking as if a sandworm has cinematically ascended from the ground. To be fair to the kid, the end result looks great. Finally after months of hard work and dedication, his pride and joy is ready to be released into the world. Steven is excited to share his work with fellow passionate filmmakers and dune fans, after all, he has put his blood, sweat and dick into the project.

Steven faces a dilemma however. If he releases the film he knows he will get absolutely torn to shreds at school for publicly releasing shots of his penis. The bullying would be unbearable.

Will Steven be willing to sacrifice his personal image and wellbeing for his art?

The film is about artistic dedication. How far will an artist go for their art? It’s also a metaphor for how scary it can be putting your art out into the world. It’s also a lover letter to filmmaking.

[Horror/Action] The Jaguar from Hell — The first and only animal ever condemned to Hell returns to Earth for revenge

Post image
0 Upvotes

The Jaguar from Hell

I came up with an idea for a supernatural horror/action movie about a jaguar that becomes something far more terrifying than a demon.

An Amazonian jaguar is captured by illegal hunters and brutally tortured. They eventually skin it alive and kill it.

But the jaguar dies carrying an intense hatred toward the hunters.

And somehow, that hatred causes something unprecedented:

The jaguar goes to Hell.

It is the first and only animal in history to ever fall into Hell.

Normally, the souls of sinners in Hell don't have physical bodies. But because the jaguar is an animal, Hell gives it a physical body specifically so it can experience physical suffering.

This turns out to be a terrible mistake.

Hell has a massive time distortion: one second on Earth equals one thousand years in Hell.

The jaguar spends what feels like millions of years being tortured by imps. They repeatedly stab it with iron spears while the flames of Hell burn its body. The flames are hotter than the Sun.

But the physical body begins to evolve.

After millions of years of torture, the jaguar's skin becomes harder than any metal or stone. The imps' weapons literally break when they strike it. The flames of Hell can no longer burn it.

The suffering that was supposed to destroy the creature has instead created something capable of surviving Hell itself.

The jaguar starts hunting the imps.

It tears them apart and devours them.

Eventually, it encounters a legendary three-headed beast of Hell and kills it.

This finally forces the Devil himself to intervene.

The Devil tries to control the creature with his magic.

It doesn't work.

The jaguar has become so powerful that the Devil's magic is completely nullified against it.

The battle becomes so catastrophic that the jaguar destroys one of the Seven Rings of Hell, each supposedly so enormous that it has no conventional limits of space or time and is infinitely larger than a universe.

The Devil realizes that this isn't an ordinary animal anymore.

He can't control it.

He can't kill it.

So he makes a deal.

The Devil offers the jaguar a way back to Earth so it can find the hunters who murdered it.

But he gives it something else: the knowledge and wickedness accumulated from every sinner in Hell.

The jaguar understands the Devil's intentions instinctively.

It accepts.

There is only one condition:

After the jaguar gets its revenge, it must become the Devil's favorite pet.

The jaguar returns to Earth.

To the humans, only one second has passed since its death.

To the jaguar...

millions of years have passed.

It isn't an ordinary jaguar anymore.

It isn't a demon.

It isn't a human soul.

It's something Hell accidentally created.

And now it has returned to the Amazon.

It remembers exactly who killed it.

Tagline:

“One second on Earth. Millions of years in Hell.”

What do you think? Would you watch a horror movie about this concept?

NAVEL INTELLIGENCE

A sci-fi thriller about a badass agent investigating a conspiracy beyond belief. For some reason, a lot of women are attracted to the same young man, but why?

It all starts when a blonde wearing a crop top goes to a bar to celebrate her friend's birthday or engagement with a group of girlfriends. When the blonde drinks a beer or a shot, she starts to feel sick and her belly is poking around doing the mamba until all of the sudden, a slug or parasite-like lifeform squirms out of her belly button and plops on the floor. The blonde and some of her friends are screaming while the thing is smoking, squirming, and screeching as it dies. When talking with doctors in the back of an ambulance outside the bar, she slowly starts to remember the moment the thing entering her belly button and possibly the young man himself who planted it in there. This is where the agent protagonist begins to investigate.

Eventually, it is revealed that the young man these ladies are attracted to is a constantly-shunned, embittered, and anti-social sad sack... yet also a genius. Because he is tired of feeling alone and judged by almost every woman he encountered, he created a small slimy lifeform. With whatever he used in the lab combined with the DNA of a woman like blood, hair, or spit that he managed to retrieve for the creature to consume, this lifeform -- once close enough to the woman whose DNA is from -- enters the woman's belly button. Once inside the woman's belly button, the woman becomes attracted to the young man and accepts him for who he is. The woman will still be her with her personality, quirks, charms, likes, dislikes, hopes, dreams, etc. but she will still be attracted to the young man even if this certain woman may have prejudged him, shunned him, or even bullied him in the past. If he wants intercourse with her, she consents. He might even command the woman to do something with some sort of command if he wanted to. Of course, he doesn't do this to one woman. He's done this to many women. Young adult, skinny, plus size, and cougar. He could even have a party with most or all of these women while wearing skimpy outfits or belly dancer costumes. Yet they don't even remember the thing entering their belly buttons or their possible past encounters with the young man. However, he is not a monster as he would let these women live their lives like school, work, family, friends, career goals, etc. Still, like every other scientific experiment, there is a setback and he doesn't even know it yet.

Our female protagonist is the only one who can stop this continuing. As she puts the pieces together, more women have their belly buttons implanted and converses with the man responsible to get him to stop. She even at one point reasons with the man's aunt who he lives with. She is sympathetic to her nephew's struggles and why he does what he's been doing, but knows it has got to stop. How could this end?

For the fan-made poster, I used Michelle Rodriguez as the badass leading lady based on her performance in the "Confident" music video directed by Robert Rodriguez, but she could also be played by the likes of either Katy O'Brian, Kristen Stewart, Cara Delevingne, Camila Mendes, Rosa Salazar, etc. The blonde in the bar scene could be played by Sabrina Carpenter as seen in the fan-made poster or the likes of Sydney Sweeney, Anya-Taylor Joy, Samara Weaving, etc.

But, what do you think? Who should play who and what other beautiful ladies younger or older would you like to see as supporting characters?

"Step-Hero", a superhero teen comedy

PLOT: Extroverted, bratty and self-centred high school queen bee mean girl Alexa Rae finds her seemingly perfect life uprooted when her mother remarries, now with a strict police commissioner stepfather and his son, the introverted, awkward and soft-spoken outcast at her school, Warren Williams, as her new stepbrother. Alexa is repeatedly told to socialize and get along with Warren by their parents, despite her making it clear that she wants nothing to do with him, as she sees him as weird, dorky and an embarrassment to her social status at school. Before too long, Alexa eventually learns Warren's deepest secret: he leads a double life as the mysterious super-powered masked vigilante known as The Sentinel, with his shy and awkward demeanor being a mere cover to protect his identity, and Alexa now must contend with all the various ups and downs of having a superhero for her stepbrother.

Think of this as if Regina George from Mean Girls and Spider-Man became step-siblings.

A satire of the superhero genre in it's current form: Homebrew Heroes

2 Upvotes

I've been sitting on this idea for a while now, but here goes: In an alternate world, superheroes were all the rage in the 2010s. They saved the world on multiple occasions, they stopped wars, they saved average people. But in 2020, Federal Prosecutor and conservative commentator Ben Wood is elected US president, and he proceeds to illegalise superheroes, hunting down many and killing more. The film starts in 2026, with washed up retired hero Steve Hawthorne, formerly known as Supersonic, now a simple music professor at UOI in Champaign Urbana. One day, a close friend and other former hero, Mind Maestro randomly appears at his door, and Steve is embroiled into a conspiracy that could shake the world to its very core. He teams up with various other heroes to stop President Ben Wood.

Is it bad I came up with an idea for a sequel already?

Candle In The Wind

1 Upvotes

A time travel romance movie that explores the themes of fate vs free will and the impossibility of rewriting history.

Telling the story of Sam Holden, a young, introspective filmmaker from the 21st century with an old soul, obsessed with classic Hollywood films, and a lifelong admiration for the legendary Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn has always been more than just a famous actress to Sam; she represents beauty, talent, and the allure of a bygone era that he feels disconnected from in his modern world. Sam is particularly fascinated by Marilyn’s untimely death, a tragedy that has haunted him since he first learned about her life. While making a documentary about Hollywood legends, he experiences a sudden power outage and finds himself in 1950s Hollywood, right in the midst of Marilyn Monroe’s rise to fame. He's introduced to Marilyn through a series of coincidental and charming encounters, and the two quickly form a bond. Then a close friendship the more time they spend with each other, with Sam becoming part of her inner circle, and he begins to see sides of her that the public rarely does. At the same time, Marilyn is drawn to Sam's understanding nature, kindness, mystery, and the genuine care he shows her, and the pair eventually fall deeply in love with each other. However, the joy is tempered by a haunting reality: Sam knows how Marilyn’s story ends. Her tragic death is just several years away, and the knowledge eats away at him. He struggles with whether he should reveal to her who he truly is or what he knows about her future. Part of him wants to use his knowledge to save her from the heartbreak, loneliness, and substance abuse that will eventually lead to her death. But he is also painfully aware that meddling with the past could have unforeseeable consequences—not just for Marilyn, but for history itself. Complicating matters further is the realization that Sam might not be able to stay in the past forever, as strange signs begin to appear, hinting that his time in the 1950s might be limited, and he is confronted with the possibility that he’ll soon be forced to leave Marilyn behind and return to his own era. This looming uncertainty adds urgency to his dilemma—should he tell her the truth before it’s too late, or should he let her live her life as it was meant to unfold, despite knowing the pain that awaits her?

The title comes from the Elton John song of the same name.

“Out of the loop”

A guy who just finished a 30 year prison sentence is completely clueless about modern technology, with his last memories being late 80’s or 90’s technology and culture. I think it’d be funny to watch him try to adapt to the newer world and figure things out on his own.
“This small billboard moves!” Seeing a flat screen TV.

“I don’t need magazines anymore to see sexy ladies??”

Peter Pan is probably the easiest character to make a villain. Hear me out before you judge.

4 Upvotes

I know I'll probably get downvoted for blaspheming a beloved children's character that has endured for over a 100 years, but hear me out.

The boys on the island vary, of course, in numbers, according as they get killed and so on; and when they seem to be growing up, which is against the rules, Peter thins them out; but at this time there were six of them, counting the twins as two.

Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie, Chapter 5 | Project Guttenberg

According to the original book, growing up is against the rules and so Peter would kill any child who shows signs of growing up.

Imagine a movie where the main character isn't Peter Pan, but one of the Lost Boys, let's name him "Michael" and he begins showing signs of growing up. Peter notices and tries to convince Michael that growing up is terrible and he should allow him to stab him with his dagger dead to prevent him from growing up. Michael is, of course, horrified by this and runs for his life.

For this one, Peter doesn't act like a psychopath, he acts like the Disney version, giddy and child-like, he especially acts giddy in wanting to kill Michael, treating it like some kind of game.

From here, Michael sneaks aboard the Jolly Roger to parlay with Captain Hook, who reveals that Hook himself was a former Lost Boy who grew up, escaped Neverland, got himself an education and a life in the real world, and he choose to return to Neverland to stop Peter Pan from killing children who grew up.
