- These are the loglines for screenplays that actually sold. If this crap sells, surely anyone call sell a screenplay!
- "An otherwise ordinary woman exhibits extraordinary powers, but only when she is within a certain distance of a particular guy." (Proximity Effect, sold 2005)
- "Two geeky teen kidnap the world's most famous rock band in an attempt to make them play at their high school and thus boost the girls' popularity." (Taking 5, sold 2005)
- "A man learns to appreciate his life when everything in it is suddenly the opposite of what it normally is." (Opposite Day. Yes, Opposite Day, sold 2005)
- "Three best friends come together and agree to kill their horrible bosses." (Horrible Bosses, sold 2005)
- "A white college student promises his grandfather that he will pledge his old fraternity only to discover the house has become all African American." (Whitebread, sold 2005)
- "A Wild West horror film described as "Alien" meets "The Searchers”." (The Burrowers, sold 2005)
- "A Navy program trains dolphins, seals and other aquatic creatures to find and rescue downed pilots, protect ships, and perform other tasks they can handle better than humans." (Navy SEALs, sold 2005)
Eh, I dunno, the Burrowers could be good. A horror film that takes place in the old west is an original concept that could work, at least. But yeah, the rest sound like they could never conceivably become good movies. Thanks for posting this! I laughed...
