Where do you contact if you have an idea for movie?

Write a treatment, do some research, prepare for disappointment, don't let 'em get you down, persevere, do more research, work hard, always believe in yourself, write more. Is this a flight of fantasy.:confused:
 
I don't have scripts I just have an amazing idea for a movie. I wanted to submit the idea to Warner / disney etc.. and then let them get on with the scripts, and liaison with the original creators of the TV series its based on.

I also want Aqua to do a cover of the theme song
 
Try writing a screenplay or script and get in contact with an agency to represent you! I'm currently writing a teleplay but sitting on it until the future or media industry is sorted out, not to mention on top of that the recession.
 
Oh Ray, I rarely venture into the movies section but I am so pleased I did because up popped you! Does the movie feature any scarecrows, cats on zimmer frames, old ladies with saggy breasts or nuns in hiding by any chance?

Please tell us your idea. Aqua is a top choice to cover the theme - it may be the career come back they have been dreaming about.
 
I'm not really doing this for money, I'm doing it because it will bring a smile to many faces.



Not this movie - however - there is another great idea for a movie right there.



I hope your not taking the p*ss. I was serious about that and annoyed that thread has gone. Its just another example of broken Britain.

I also firmly believe this movie will be huge, especially in the UK.
 
Right you are! So, this movie idea is based on an existing tv show right? So it may be an idea to contact the people who made this show, I'm sure they'd like to hear your ideas.
 
You're dreaming Ray - It's not going to happen! Do you think Hollywood is short of 'ideas'? Any guy, on any street, could probably think of a 'great' idea for a movie, but one in a billion (or less) could actually have that 'idea' made into a hollywood movie.

If you are serious about this, then you need to write a full script, and if you're not capable of that, you need to hook up with somebody who is (preferably, somebody who is already in the business) and let them take the writer credits. If you don't know any screen writers, then you need to get a 'decent' agent, who could introduce you to some.

Now after you've found your agent, who is willing to hook you up with decent screenwriters, you better hope that your idea is amazing enough for these guys to actually want to invest their time into writing this...

If you get far enough to have a full script, that is ready to go, you better hope that your screenwriter, and agent, have some serious links in Hollywood, and with Disney, otherwise you have zero chance of them picking up the script and making the movie....

So lets go with the highly likely scenario that your screenwriter, and agent, in Britain, have no major links with Disney, or Hollywood in general, but can set you up with independant British film makers, and producers - The best you can hope for is a British low budget stinker, where everybody has stepped in and changed the idea into something unrecognisable.

Is your idea for an animation? If so, thats opening up a whole new can of worms...

Disney, and Hollywood, work with established writers, producers, and directors. As an outsider, with no reputation, or previous history of work, you have no chance of getting an 'idea' made - Sorry, but that's reality.

The only chance you have of, someday, making a disney movie, is by starting from the bottom - Low budget Independant movies. You have to earn your reputation over the years, make the right contacts, and maybe, just maybe, someday, somebody at Disney may listen to your idea.

Good luck Ray!
 
And let me guess it all turns sour at the end when tired of being oogled at and treated like crap the raggy dolls turn evil and decide to wipe out the collectors and the factory workers in one murderous rampage?
 
this is the funniest thread I've read in ages. The Raggy Dolls!:D

I really really really hope it is a wind-up. Then again, there are some odd people out there!

Anyway, why such special treatment for the Raggy Dolls?

I want to see Trumpton the movie! My ideal casting:
Pugh: George Clooney
Pugh (2): Brad Pitt
Barney McGrew: Bruce Willis
Cuthbert: Eric Bana
Dibble: Ewan McGregor
Grub: Dominic Monaghan

and we get U2 to do a version of the fire engine theme!
 
:D:D:D Only if Bono burns alive in a fire the at the crew can't get to, because Windy Miller blocks the road with bags of flour cause he hates Bono as much as me..... Phew:rolleyes:
 
I've ad another brainwave.

Aided by a corrupt pet shop owner, terrorists manage to get a robotic budge inside the prime ministers house. The budgie looks normal, but it has camera eyes and mic ears. It is controlled by the terrorist base in Bimingham who plan to use information to their advantage and to plan terror attacks.

One of the cleaners in the building is actually a part time pet physcologist and notices something amiss with the bird.

The terrorists have to kidnap the cleaner, kill her, or simply get her sacked somehow, cue a hilarious Home alone style capers with the evil Baz and Aliad terrorsts sneaking into Downing Street.

Theres more problems. After a technical fault, the prime ministers aid thinks the budgie is dead, so gets a lookalike, and then the 2 budgies suddenly end up flying around and nobody can catch the real one.

The cleaner is caught and then she seduces one of the terrorists.

Its an action packed, laugh a minute catastrophe with a hint of James Bond gadgetry. The Guardian give it 9/10.
 
Not so much a script but more of a specific idea for a movie...

I would love to see someone make a realistic time-travel movie. Specifically someone from say 100 years in the past coming to the present day.

And I mean realistic in the sense that in movies you always seem to get that 'wow' factor, with them being fascinated, awed and impressed with everything, and it's always completely realistic the way they usually manage to intergrate with people and get used to the technology etc.

In real life, I maintain that such people would be absolutely terrified, because everything would be so alien. Language, for example, has changed dramatically. It may still be English, but the style of speech and the syntax we use now is totally different to 100 years ago. We may as well be speaking a completely different language as far as they are concerned.

I do genuinely believe that people from that era would not be able to take it all in, and would probably have some sort of mental breakdown.

I think a serious time-travel movie about that subject could be very interesting indeed.
