Watcher,
You might be able to sell your concept as a "COMIC BOOK", but it would never fly as a treatment for a future film.
However, last night, I thought about the ending for the fictitious character in the fantasy script I put together yesterday.
With the wide acceptance of the new HBO series "OZ", I think this might have some commercial value to it. Read it and let me know what your think.
Remember the scene were the Pimp is on the corner trying his best to push his way of life on the young kids. Well, the residents of the neighborhood finally get tired of the Pimp corrupting the mind's of their youth. As a result of their efforts, the Pimp gets put away for a long time. (Granted, the way that happens is still open for rewrite. We could give the idea to a ghost writer and I'm sure (s)he could come up with something.)
Now, this is were the new story starts. While in prison, the Pimp makes friends with another guy who displays the same moral values and intellectual level as himself. As a matter of fact, their personalities are so similar, many people think they are from the same family. Perhaps, even twins. (We'll get the make-up department to work that one out.)
The scene opens with both men sitting at a table in the prison recreation area: The two of them put their minds together and decide, as long as they are in prison together, they might as well find some way to make it profitable.
The next scene is in their cell: After many sleepless nights and racking their brains, they agree on a way to make money. They will both become "PUNKS". (For those who may not know, a punk is a male inmate how become the object of another male inmates physical love interest and desires.)
The beauty of the entire episode is that the Pimp is housed in the same cell as his Punk associate. Because of this, not only are they available for use by the prison population, at large, but, during the time the cells are locked, they are able to exchange favors between them selves.
What do you think of this fantasy script? I know it is not something for prime time, but remember, HBO is showing "OZ" late at night and there must be a lot of money being made from that production.
I'll give this some more thought and perhaps do a rewrite.
No! Wait, I just had another idea. Remember the "Bird Man of Alcatraz"? We can have both Punks working for the prison veterinarian who specializes in horses. No, I think we need some kind of a hook. Let's make it exotic animals from Africa. Maybe we make it a comedy and they become romantically involved with a Water Buffalo or a Zebra, or some other special animal.
That;s it, a prison work farm sort of like a modern off beat combination of "Green Acres" and "OZ". We can call it: "The Punks Visit Emerald Farm".
What do you think.
Well the entire thing is just a JOKE and a fantasy anyway.
Back to reality.
Best wishes to all and good investing.
