What's a longline? Definitely need a round of directors. Good idea.
A logline is like a 1-2 sentence elevator pitch for a movie you're trying to get made:
Quote:
THE GODFATHER The aging patriarch of an organized crime dynasty transfers control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son.
PULP FICTION The lives of two mob hit men, a boxer, a gangster's wife, and a pair of diner bandits intertwine in four tales of violence and redemption.
FOREST GUMP Forrest Gump, while not intelligent, has accidentally been present at many historic moments, but his true love, Jenny Curran, eludes him.
THE MATRIX A computer hacker learns from mysterious rebels about the true nature of his reality and his role in the war against its controllers.
SILENCE OF THE LAMBS A young F.B.I. cadet must confide in an incarcerated and manipulative killer to receive his help on catching another serial killer who skins his victims.
The idea is we could pick a genre and logline, with a dream cast and director. If this is too involved for other participants, no biggy, just an idea.

oh... "logline"
I'm not sure I like that idea.. with more support, though, we can consider it
I'm thinking as far as constraints go, maybe we could do genres? Like maybe one pick per genre? Could be difficult deciding what an official genre for a movie is though

I like the decade idea. How about we each pick a movie from 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00's, and 10s? And then 2 actors and one director? Genres would get too hairy probably.
