THE PITCH


I’m listening...

Did you see Gladiator?

Digital huh?

It’s Serpico meets Gladiator. It’s a story about a man...

A cop?

No, but an outsider. He travels all the time.

A salesman? Salesmen are funny.

Well... he is kind of in sales I guess.

Where’s the girl?

What girl?

The girl! He’s in love with a girl.

Well... there’s a Virgin.

Nice. I’m listening...

But this story happens later.

After the Prom?

They didn’t have Proms.

Oh yeah, Gladiator. After the fight?

There is some fighting.

Armies are good.

Actually this was not a big deal at the time. More local.

Salesman goes to a small town and saves the Virgin. The locals get pissed, they fight. Where’s the Third Act?

They, uh, kill him.

They kill him? He’s the Hero?! You can’t kill the Hero!

But they think he lived.

Ahhh. Like The Green Mile. Kids like Prisons.

It’s also in another language.

Art film, huh? Spanish?

Latin.

Latin? Hmmm... Antonio Banderas. He’s latin.

The language.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... (Sandy, get me Tony on the phone.) ...sounds good, Mel. Title?

I was thinking... Passion.

I’ve got it.! “Mr. Passion”. I like it. Catchy. Chick flick. Sequel?

I suppose I could...

I’m listening...
