We never received a call or an email reply from Pfizer. So it was time to move on.
So after weeks/months of trying to develop our thriller opening titles sequence we were just adding more elements that were making our idea less of reality.
So we came back to the drawing board. I decided that we should all take a few days away from our current idea and bring a fresh one to the drawing board.
We grouped up a few days later to put out our ideas we had come up with. However I was the only one that had came up with anything. So I pitched my idea.
The film would be a thriller comedy about a bunch of bank robbers who run over a gangster king pin in there get away vehicle. They recognise him as the biggest influence in the city, so they take his body with them and the millions they stole from the bank. The rest of the film consists of them running away from not only the police but keeping out the gangs hands.
The opening title sequence for this would be two different stories, one of a group of bank robbers just leaving the scene of the crime, in an intense adrenaline filled, disorganised get away vehicle. While cutting to and from a powerful man (the kingpin) playing poker in a dark, mysterious, warehouse. The two stories converge, when kingpin leaves the warehouse with his winnings, he is then hit by the get away vehicle.
We discussed the idea with Matt. He liked the idea but believed we wouldn’t have the time to shoot two different stories. As well another factor he discussed is the gimmick of cutting between two stories can end up not appearing as wished.
With these constructed criticisms taken on board our group most move forward as time begins to slip away from us.
