Dealer's Choice Outline

Synopsis:
A fairly common event such as a mugging is overly dramatized in an absurd style particular to Asian/Indian cinema. Think ridiculous Kung Fu and Bollywood fight scenes.

Outline:
-Girl walking down the sidewalk.
-Mugger jumps out and attacks her.
- Super awesome Asian/Indian style fight scene ensues.
  • Dramatic zooms
  • Jumpshots
  • Extreme angles
  • Slow Motion
  • Exaggerated punches and flips
-Fight evolves into a dance sequence with back up dancers.
-Girl wins and continues down the sidewalk.

I think this is pretty hilarious. I like the comic relief I get in knowing that masculine rituals, fighting, playing sports, wrestling, are very similar dropping it like it's hot.

I like this idea, and I realize that our ideas are fairly similar as well.. The only problem I have with the plot is that within the fight scenes and dance sequences there should be some emotional depth as well? Hopefully you know what that means- just some parts hilarious but some things like the routines and choreography taken seriously...

Very straight forward and right to the point. I think this will be very funny to watch. If you need any ideas for casting, Aaron Radney (not sure if you know him or not) would be a good actor for your fight scenes he's really into martial arts.

This defiantly sounds like your kind of style. It also sounds interesting and funny, but I'm not so sure if I'd like it being overly dramatic, although I feel like it would still make it interesting. I would just say as not to go so far with over dramatics and maybe have a few serious points in it.

This sounds like it could be really funny. Short, quick, killer music, all the close ups. action packed. I'm excited just reading it. Love that the chick wins in the end.

I have two concerns.

1. Will you be able to find people who can sing AND act?

2.if you do use music for the dance sequence will it be completely original self-made music or are you going to try and find something that can be used without the whole copyright issue getting in the way?

It's a good idea but the Bollywood aspect of a dance sequence relies heavily upon music. If you can hammer out the musical aspect then you'll be good.

I love this idea, you know I love Bollywood. But my concern is almost the same as Nick, who is going to be able to sing, dance, and kick ass? If you can pull this off and find someone talented enough then BRAVO and I wannt to be in your group.
