What movie do you want made? If you got a pitch meeting with a producer and a guaranteed green light, what would you say?

Buddy movie where instead of becoming furious with his wife for cheating on him, the husband just becomes good pals with his wife’s boyfriend. Eventually the wife starts feeling left out as hijinks ensue. In a climactic scene, the boyfriend resists the wife’s temptations in order to help with the new business he and the husband have started together, which leads to the two guys stopping a mass shooter. The two become heroes and best friends forever. It turns out that the would be mass shooter is an ex of the wife who didn’t have a friend and just couldn’t deal.

Not really going for a “woman, therefore bad” trope and I wouldn’t let the producers take it that way, as per the premise of the question. If I’m employing a trope, it would be “buddy good, even if he’s fucking your wife”. It’s a movie that puts friendship over toxic masculinity.

Damn, looks like our suspicious are confirmed. Hollywood is genuinely out of ideas

No they’re not. They have plenty of brilliant people with lots of creative ideas. The problem is that the suits would rather make the 20th sequel than take the tiniest bit of risk.

  • POV cave movie using go pros and whatnot. You can play off the claustrophobia where the main character dies in the end

  • Zombie movie but the zombie’s perspective. The whole life cycle: human to zombie to death. Play off the body transformation horror, the gore and the zombie’s instinct to survive

The movie V/H/S 2 pretty much combines your ideas in a short called “A Ride in the Park”

Damn alright how bout a “I’m 14 and this is badass movie” where an airplane crash leaves an average man stranded in an island but heres the kicker the island was a military experiment testing area years ago so all the wild life has turned into a more berserk version of themselves

Sounds a bit like the second Jurassic Park
