Or some such.? My point is that if you’re going to trap them in a wine cellar, then use the situation in the logline (and plot), use the booze.? Otherwise the wine cellar is a throw away, a? wasted opportunity for comedy. Might as well trap them in a malfunctioning elevator instead.
I’m invoking a dramatic principle on that point known as “Chekhov’s Gun”.? It’s named after the great Russian dramatist Anton Chekhov, who stated that “If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired.? Otherwise don’t put it there.”
