Soft impact sound.

Helicopter shots of a metropolis at dusk — people bustlng, horns honking.

COOL MAN [v.o.]: Let me ask you a question...

That's all I have so far.

Possible ideas for what the first half of the question is:

COOL MAN [v.o.]: What if I told you...

COOL MAN [v.o.]: What would you do...

COOL MAN [v.o.]: What if I gave you...

Sir John Feelgood

Please note that the cool man has a cool voice.

Sir John Feelgood

Idea: The COOL MAN finishes his query, and we cut to a CLOSE-UP of the COOL MAN's face. He looks worldweary and exhales cigarette smoke.

COOL MAN: Would you do it?


or

COOL MAN: Would you believe me?

Something like that.

at the 45 second mark it breaks into https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVIRcnlRKF8&feature=player_detailpage#t=58

Nov 18, 2009

After the COOL MAN asks Would you do it? or whatever he asks, then the production logos show up on the screen and a NEW GUY starts talking about something else, something like:

NEW GUY: We got...

or

NEW GUY: There's fifteen-hundred...

Sir John Feelgood
Nov 18, 2009

The NEW GUY starts rambling about some problem the city's got that needs to be solved and there are camera shots showing the sort of thing he's talking about, maybe gang activity.

"Do you STAND UP? Or will you FALL?"

Nov 18, 2009

NEW GUY explains all this and then we cut to him and we see he's lecturing in front of a room of police officers

NEW GUY: Any questions?

ULTIMATE KING OF IRONY GUY: So have you ever heard of the slack?

Sir John Feelgood
Nov 18, 2009

This is where we cut to the STAR of the movie I'd say, who was listening to NEW GUY speak the whole time. He doesn't look optimistic.

Then you wake up in real life.

Sir John Feelgood
Nov 18, 2009

Then some poo poo happens and we see the STAR in a montage in which he's losing it due to the pressure of his job.

The losing it culminates when he slams his palm against a kitchen cabinet with his wife in the room, startling her and losing the audience's sympathy.

During the Losing it montage I think it would be good if there were a few seconds inserted in which star grips his steering wheel with both hands and just goes crazy.

Sir John Feelgood
Nov 18, 2009

But the steering wheel shot would have to be silent because at that point the music is overpowering and giving everyone tingly arms.

Sir John Feelgood
Nov 18, 2009

Riding the emotional high of the steering wheel scene, this would be a good time to crash to a white-on-black title card...

A Sir John Feelgood Film

so that everyone sees my name while the excitement is high.

And then we show the actors who are in the film, a bunch of nobodies becauase I'm using unknowns but then randomly in last place is some big name actor in a supporting role that you never thought he'd play, something like and Christian Bale as The Therapist.

Sir John Feelgood
Nov 18, 2009

Christian Bale wins an Academy Award.

Sir John Feelgood
Nov 18, 2009

Now... possible titles. Taking suggestions.
