First order of business – drop those names. They’re not necessary in the logline.
You’ve given us the flawed protagonist – a washed up archaeologist. You’ve given us his ruthless rival.
The event; the discovery of a lost city of immeasurable wealth …
What is the action that forms the bulk of the story? What are the stakes of failure – just the loss of potential wealth?
Also, this bears contemplation at this stage – obviously this is meant to have an Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider/National Treasure vibe to it (what with the title and all) … but what sets it apart and makes it unique compared to those franchises? What’s the fresh take on the old format?
