Title: According To Pesci

Logline: Joe Pesci unwittingly helps a mob underboss avoid the Feds using advice from his films and becomes the target of a rival mafia family, causing movie life and real life to dangerously collide.


Thoughts? Suggestions? I'm trying to pick an idea for my next script (I've posted a few other ideas) and can't decide on one, but this idea makes me laugh... P.S. not loving the title

It could be funny. Maybe with a cameo from De Niro, and Liotta. Good luck with the casting.

Although this is quite a fun idea (I can actually see a mob boss thinking that Joe Pesci is a real gangster!) and may be worth writing just for the sheer hell of it, I'm going to assume you haven't yet asked Joe if he'd be interested in staring in your movie?

Might be worth considering whether you want to waste your time writing a script that stands very little chance of going into production...

On the other hand, it wouldn't have to start Pesci himself, maybe it could be a look-a-like? That could add to the comedy value. Or, maybe you could make it a fictional gangster-movie-star?

No, i unfortunately do not knoow Mr. Pesci...this would likely just be a fun exercise. My other ideas are certainly more produceable, this just cracks me up though.
