How to Write a Guaranteed Blockbuster Movie Script

The Ultimate Screenwriting Guide to Big Money Success

I signed up for Script Frenzy 2008. The challenge is to write a 100 page script in 30 days, starting April 1st. I'm going to write a guaranteed blockbuster movie script. This is just the thing I need to get me going financially. I know that the story I've come up with will rake in a fortune. Want to know how I'm going to do it? Here is the outline for my goldmine blockbuster movie script.

First I studied demographics. The adolescent male audience makes or breaks a blockbuster movie. To get the teenage boys into the theater you need some pyrotechnics. In my script Bumblebee, the giant transformer robot, is going to fight the Cloverfield monster. This provides lots of high-tech action, chases and explosions. The giant robot and indestructible monster will totally level New York City. Manhattan doesn't stand a chance. How exciting is that?

What, you say lots of monsters and disasters have destroyed New York and this is nothing new? That's OK. I'm selling this blockbuster movie script as a "reimagining" of those good old Godzilla vs. the monster of the week movies. Franchise sequels and remakes are always popular. Look at "Alien vs. Predator" and "Freddy vs. Jason". In 2007 Hollywood gave us "I am Legend", a remake of "The Omega Man" (1971) and "The Invasion", the second remake of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956). Why come up with a new idea when there's a perfectly great old one to be had.

There will be no women in this movie because, as Hollywood knows, any movie with a woman as the main character has no chance of bringing in a big box office take. So get rid of all the actresses if you want guaranteed blockbuster movies every time. Hollywood doesn't need women's money anyway, because they know men make the real bucks and decide what movies to go to.
