Mosquitoes spawn in a swamp filled with toxic sewage. When they bite people, those people slowly become zombies. Eventually the source of the virus is found by Dolph Lundgren, a mosquito truck guy and former nuclear physicist, who kills all of the infected with mosquito spray specifically designed to kill zombies, he then detonates a nuclear bomb to to wipe out the swamp.

Death Nile Virus, produced by the SyFy network.

A bombastic real estate agent accesses an abandoned safe house and uncovers a cellar full of drugs, money and other explosive secrets. He flaunts his findings on social media and is noticed by both the cartel and the feds. He gets sucked into the underground world of drug-running and human trafficking, where his life is in danger and he doesn't know who to trust.

Alternate history where Prince Harry is gay and instead of getting married to Meghan Markle gets married to this guy, a gay drug addict bartender from Long Island:


Shane Gillis would be Tim’s brother/best man (overstepping Prince William in the role) and Roseanne would be the mom. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant would be the Royal Wedding commentators as hilarity ensues. No real life people’s names will be changed, up to and including Epstein and Ghislaine being at the Royal Wedding.

Aliens invade and are trying to make contact. They speak a language that sounds like gibberish to the human ear and no one can make sense of it. Panic ensues until Jeff Goldblum hears it and realizes they sound just like Billy Madison at the dinner table. They bring in Adam Sandler and peace is restored to the planet.

ok I got 3, 2 are Star Wars

Post ROTJ a rogue squadron of Tie Fighters are attacking New Republic Ships lead by a red helmed ACE Tie fighter (because that looks cool). A. Group of Elite XWing Pilots have to hunt them down and stop them.

A Finn spinoff movie about him liberating a New Order Storm Trooper camp. Would go heavy into Storm Trooper training lore and Finn’s past.

Not Star Wars related

Just a movie or show about Jay Gatsby’s rise through the bootlegging world.

Yeah man, the main character is queer. And basically the entire reason he becomes a pirate is due to him being a homo.

Really frickin stupid plot twist.

After several decades of peace and tranquility a cosmic portal, a rift, has opened up in the seafloor of the Pacific.

In a darkened forgotten control room screens flick on , monitoring equipment from a bygone era springs to life after having been left in sentry mode. Lights flash. Warning signals erupt. But the room is empty.

No one is there to react.

Sensors pick up a large object, emerging from the rift. Then a second. And then another.

On the ocean surface, the lights of an unconcerned city twinkle in the night, as the three large objects advance, just below the waves.

But then, another signal is picked up, not coming from the rift. It’s different. It’s larger. This one comes from deeper in the ocean.

It follows the other three.

Silence….

A loud familiar roar fills the darkness.

I usually keep a notes thread on my phone about book ideas because I like the idea of writing one, but haven't ever sat down and actually done it.

One is that we are in present day or near future America, crime is out of control. There is this online community/cult type deal that believes that if you receive some kind of terminal diagnosis, you have been chosen by God to be a vigilante and combat the crime yourself, which can be patrolling the streets and stopping it or some even go as far as hunting down and killing people once they get out of prison if they are likely to reoffend or are guilty of sex crimes or something like that. So the main character, who has been mugged in the past and joined that community and is really bought in, gets cancer or something and struggles with this belief system and the morality of what he is doing.

There is probably something already like that, but I'm not aware of it.

I’m actually writing a short story that could be a cool thriller in my free time:

Man is on a secluded interstellar outpost he volunteered for after a series of horrific combat experiences colonizing various planets. He’s waiting for his relief to show up when he starts hearing noises inside the outpost. Investigating over a series of weeks with no luck, he starts staying awake in hopes of catching the intruder. He finally nods off after 72 hours and awakes the next day to a sign posted on the exterior camera that says “I’m here”.

Fast forward to the end, the intruder is actually his wife visiting him in a psychiatric hospital he’s been brought to after a psychotic break following long periods of combat in the pacific. It’s 1948. He’s created this whole world in the future in his mind. It was his wife saying “I’m here to visit”

Roast away!

I'm working on a sequel to the Hunchback of Notre Dame, called Requiem For A Bell Ringer. It's set in modern times, at the famous Parisian church.
Semimodo, who is a direct descendent of Quasimodo, works as a care-taker at Notre Dame. He also is a hunchback, but in today's sensitive parlance, he is known as "posture challenged". He is popular with the church staff, as he always volunteers to play one of the Wisemen's camel in the annual Nativity play. Long story short, he steals some vape pens from a street vendor, runs into the church and claims sanctuary. He makes his way to church ramparts and convinces a gargoyle to fly him to Venezuela, where he takes advantage of the non-extradition policies.

Screenplay? Hell, I proposed this in real life! A Billionaire pays people diagnosed terminal to "eliminate" violent criminals who either beat the system or are paroled way to early.

A disgraced, world-known scientist revives his dead son, bringing him back as a robot, having wiped his memory clean. The father uses him to commit crimes to get back at the people who ruined his career. The robot also goes off-course during the movie on his own created side missions.

Think Upgrade meets Hell or High Water with a little bit of comedy and Chicago-like shooting accuracy built in for comedy

Note: This story is from a dream I had years ago and thought it might possibly make a good plot for a movie. I am the brother in this story.

This is a seemingly normal story about a brother and two sisters. Their parents used to take them as young kids to vacation in Panama City Beach every summer.

The kids continued to vacation on that beach separately with their friends as they grew older as teenagers and young adults. As they grew older they all married and moved to separate states across the country to raise their own families.

A couple of decades later they decided to have a family reunion at PCB. The brother and one of the sisters were driving to PCB. On the day they were driving they called each other along the way reminiscing about their experiences at the beach.

They both arrived in PCB within 5 minutes of each other and they were to meet in the parking lot at Capt. Anderson's Restaurant which was a favorite restaurant that their parents took them to as kids.

They both said they had arrived and were still in their cars. For an hour they couldn't seem to find each other even though they described the same area of the parking lot where they were at. The sister was describing everything around them. The brother was noting how they couldn't see what she was describing and how nothing had changed since he was last there. Even the cars were all very old which was strange to him. Buildings the sister was describing were just vacant lots. The two were becoming irritated with each other and their unreal nonsense.

They never could find each other and since neither thought the other was really there and were just lying and making up BS, they finally just hung up mad at each other. The sister found her other sister and the other family reunion members. They wrote the brother off and were all mad at him for making a story up that he traveled to PCB with his wife.

The brother and his wife were also mad. They drove home very upset. When they arrived home something was not right. There were strange futuristic vehicles at their house. They went into their house equally surprised that someone was in their house. They went upstairs and found a couple in their bed. They tried to wake them up and they couldn't even after shaking them. Then they realized they were shaking their own dead bodies.

They had died the night before from a gas leak. Their souls were stuck and they had driven to Florida in their minds. Everything looked the same as the last time the brother was in Florida as a young adult. They were stuck as ghosts. The brother tried to call his sister again but no one could ever be reached. In fact the brother and his wife could no longer communicate with or get anyone else to even see them or notice their existence. They could no longer leave the house and were trapped as ghosts with no way to communicate with anyone.

The sister later realized that she had been talking with her dead brother and his wife who had no idea that they were dead. She starts to lose her mind. End of first movie.

Follow up movie: The sister has become mentally insane over the incident and is institutionalized into an insane asylum. The ghost brother who was a genius computer scientist, has figured out how to hack into communication and financial systems. He becomes very wealthy and is able to trick/avoid being discovered as not being real. He communicates with his sister trying to get her to recover from her mental illness, but that isn't helping at least initially. End of second movie.

3rd movie: The sister starts to recover but no one believes her "insane" story and she can't convince anyone that she is well enough to be released from the insane asylum. The ghost brother is becoming angry with anyone who stands in the way of his sister's release............

Note: In my real dream (nightmare) I actually woke up the instance we realized we were dead. I just made up the rest of the movie plots.

A spree killer goes to Washington DC and kills a dozen of most divisive Democratic Politicians. At the end of the movie, the killer is shown walking away in the cartoon it’s a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong.

Yeah this is kind of where the idea came from

My mom and I came home to people actively robbing our house when I was really young, and I'd say that gave me absolutely 0 tolerance for criminals bordering on going too far
