We\u2019ve been using the quarantine opportunity to write our manuscripts and screenplays that are gonna finally get us outta this dump. It\u2019s hard to overcome the fear of failure and just sit down and pound at the keys, especially when after 20 minutes you\u2019re like \u201cWell, this sucks, nevermind.\u201d This week we pitch two topics \u2014 apocalyptic westerns and comedies about twins, for whatever reason \u2014 to directors and studios who may want to contact us for pre-pre-pre-pre-production.<\/p>\n

THE BOOK OF EDDIE MONEY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

SB:<\/strong> So the elevator pitch for the next global franchise is part \u201cUnforgiven,\u201d part \u201cBook of Eli,\u201d part \u201cCalifornia Love\u201d music video with a badass history behind it a la \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d but not quite as encyclopedic.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve got the prevailing groups that praise the sun and despise all non-solar technology because it led to the \u201coutbreak.\u201d They vie to control some McGuffin-esque object that justifies mass slaughter but it\u2019s vague enough that we just accept it; just like we accept that a large part of population rides horses again because we\u2019ve rekindled our love of nature.<\/p>\n
