I don't really know if this fits in this category, but I'm writing a story that I hope to turn into a movie fairly soon. I don't have a full story line for some of these yet, but tell me what you would be most interested in. Also, let me know if they're too sad. I'm really better at comedy, but I just thought I'd take a shot at drama for a change.
A. A story about a boy and a girl who fall in love after being introduced to each other by their fathers, who are old friends. Their relationship gets serious, even though the girl's father doesnt approve and feels akward about the situation. Then, the boy is involved in a car accident and taken to the hospital. The next day, the girl goes to visit him and sees that other than some cuts and bruises, he seems fine. Shortly after she gets home, her roommate tells her that she's just heard that the boy had just died from internal bleeding. I don't know the rest of the story, but it will involve the girl's family helping the boy's family deal with the agony of losing their son and it will have some kind of lesson about love and friendship.
B. A story about a man whose wife is murdered and his infant son is kidnapped from their house one night when he was gone for a very short amount of time. The man spends twelve years looking for his son and after he discovers that the man who stole his son passed him off as a child put up for adoption, he goes looking for the couple who adopted him. Then, he must choose between bringing his son home or allowing him to stay with the adopted parents who raised him.
C. A story about a man with a wife, a daughter, and a son who are involved in an accident together and taken to the emergency room. The daughter dies, the wife is declared brain dead, and the son is near death from damage done to his heart. The man gets to the hospital and the doctors tell him that they want to take his wife off of life support so they can give their son her heart. The man doesn't want to let her go, but if he doesn't, he will lose the only member of his family with a chance of survival and he has only minutes to make the decision.
I like the third one. I also think that IcanBNE1 had a great idea. Instead of putting a huge back-story first, you could incorporate flashbacks. Like, as he's in the hospital looking at his family, you can go into a memory that he has from the past showing how much he loves his family members and whatnot. The storylines you came up with sound a little like something Mitch Albom might do, so if you're unfamiliar with his work, take a look. If written well, any of these stories should be good. I'm not sure what kind of movie you mean or what kind of experience or connections you have with writing or making movies. If you don't have much, I suggest you try to get it published as an e-book. If people can buy it for a dollar, they're more likely to take a look and your popularity could take off. It's a great way to become established. Good luck!
(Rating: 5) Thanks, I think the third one is the best too and I love your idea for a back story. I always appreciate help and love it when people help me improve my stories in interesting ways.
