Yeah. The reason I asked is because most of the films I'm after barely had scripts and no one thought to preserve them. The Crazies (the original) and Phibes are not in the league of the films I am after. Also, neither of those are shlock. But thanks for trying.

For example, Hershel Gordon Lewis's movies. I'd prefer scripts over transcripts, but even transcripts would work as I'm mostly interested in the "vibe". I know you can buy the script to Blood Feast as a book, but I'd prefer to not spend any money on this side quest.

I average about one script a month. I recently tried going logline first and it didn't work for me as I don't come up with stories that way. That whole fashionista steampunk irks me. When I think of steampunk the first things that come to mind is the novels, The Difference Engine, and 20,000...

How did you get indoctrinated from that? Or that the cult wants to wipe themselves out? Victoria is there because in earlier versions where I explicitly started the logline with "London 1887" people were confused by it. I think time and place matters when it's very different from our own, so...

How well.

Did you mean to say the logline needs more?

The movie is written. And of course the Queen is not the assassin. Did you mean to say the logline needs more?

Inflaming was bothering me. Inciting works much better. I'm trying "destroy the cult" which is perfectly workable, but I hate losing "destruction" as that is a delicious sounding word.

An assassin embroiled in a plot against Queen Victoria is psychically attacked by a mysterious cult, flooding her mind with memories from a madman and inflaming her to pursue the cult’s destruction. Thanks in advance for feedback.

My plan to write something from the logline out has been put on hold. Not only was it dragging, but I've got two scripts to get into shape before mid-December.

One of my favorite dream sequence in film is in Apollo 13. Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks) dreams of landing on the Moon. In a film about how they don't get to land on the Moon, it is an eerily effective way of showing Lowell's ambition and giving the mission the importance it demands in the audience's mind.

Not really, but loglines should have titles. Right? Anyway... An inexperienced businessman is forced to choose between allowing his only investor to torture the startup's artificial intelligence product or hold to his ethics and risk losing the company.

Maybe? Not really. Just working the idea backwards, starting from the logline. It hasn't sunk its teeth into me yet, so we'll see. Like I stated in the initial post, this is a learning experience.

Well, yeah. That's why I'm doing this.

Still exploring to find that out.

I'm flipping it: After a directionless young man enters his life, a bored billionaire discovers a dark pleasure that threatens their lives and sanity. "threatens their lives and sanity" is an nice phrase, but it's backwards isn't it?

After a road accident, a young malcontent finds himself legally bound to the whims of a narcissistic billionaire who aims to break him as a person. I am intentionally working logline to script and outside of my preferred genre. You know, as a learning experience. I'm trying to not flesh it out...

I think the soup is in the can now. Briefly however, the story is a Raygun Gothic future (grease monkeys and flying cars, fusion reactors and surf rock) where the inventor has developed an FTL system and intends to use it to spread humanity among the stars. While the inventor is egalitarian and...

"An independent fry cook develops"... Kidding. Yeah, it is a bit "The Plumber plumbed", but it works and flows well. I think of it as "The Astronomer saw" or "The Politician argued".

I think it's dusted. To save a doomed colony ship, an independent inventor develops the first faster-than-light starship, destabilizing a politically tense solar system with the threat of war. I went extremely specific (the first episode) with the colony ship line and then went wide with the...
